Top Berlin Bus Tours

Great walking tour! Met at our hotel at Potsdam, and good walk around some important points in Berlin with good history of the area and what happened there. Guide was very knowledgeable and answered questions easily and nicely. Would recommend especially at the beginning of a trip, to get a better sense of the area and what happened there.

A fantastic experience! You will have a great time taking this tour. Our guide, Sam, was wonderful! Sam is extremely knowledgeable. He mixes in humor, interesting stories, facts, and the appropriate respect for a rather dark period in human and German history. The trip is very safe, and simply a lot of fun. We are so glad we took this tour with Sam. My wife, 3 sons and I from California would love to do it again. Don't miss this excursion! Can't say enough good things about it.

Eugen did an amazing job showing us the many, many highlights of Berlin. He went out of his way to cater to our specific interests and taught us so much history, in addition to sharing interesting anecdotes along the way. We highly recommend this tour with Birchy’s Tours and specifically doing the full day tour with Eugen. It was the best way to make the most of our short time in the city.

I went on this tour solo on July 9th and had a great time. Tour guide, Susan, was incredible and a wealth of knowledge on large variety of subjects which made the trip extra entertaining. I have done many of these types of tours over the years and I can confidently say that Susan was the best guide I have ever had. Highly recommend!

This is was an excellent tour. The guide Raffaello was outstanding. He really personalised the tour and has a passion for Berlin and its history. It is well worth undertaking a tour of this nature and if possible asking for Raf. We did this as a team corporate event but this would suite any age or any group. Thanks Raf you were a champ.

Got a taxi from hotel to boat mooring as wasn’t sure of location. A bit dark getting from the road onto the boat. Needed to use torches on phone. We were a party of 6. Welcomed on board. Service was good. Food and drinks included were all OK. Hard to hear some of the recorded commentary due to conversations on other tables. Never the less a pleasant evening and pleased we booked the trip.

Visiting Sachsenhausen Concentration Camp was one of the most powerful and sobering experiences of my life. This is not a typical tourist attraction—it is a place of remembrance, reflection, and education. Our guide was outstanding: deeply knowledgeable, respectful, and able to connect history with the broader lessons that remain urgent today. The camp’s design itself tells the story: the triangular layout, Tower A as the only entrance, and Station Z as the “exit” where industrialized killing took place. Standing by the roll call square at dawn, hearing how thousands were forced to line up in the cold, was chilling. The details were harrowing but important—prisoners living packed 700 to a barrack built for 150, the absurd forced labor meant to break spirits, and the systematic dehumanization where a person’s worth was reduced to their ability to work. The guide wove in survivors’ testimonies that made the history painfully real. One prisoner described feeling like “an insect trapped in a jar.” Another spoke of how survival required both hope and community, because “you cannot survive a camp alone.” What made this tour exceptional was how it placed Sachsenhausen in the wider context: Nazi propaganda, international failures like the Évian Conference, and even the postwar use of the camp by the Soviets. The guide did not shy away from modern parallels, noting how extremist ideologies still persist and why memorialization matters. Practical advice: wear comfortable shoes, bring water, and prepare emotionally. This is a large site with limited amenities. The visitor center has an excellent museum and audio guides if you prefer to go at your own pace. This is not an easy visit, but it is absolutely essential. Sachsenhausen teaches not only about the past but about our responsibility today—to recognize hatred, resist indifference, and preserve the voices of those who endured.

Marco was excellent & knowledgeable of the history here in Berlin. Learned so much!!! We had many obstacles because of the Marathon pre festivities but he navigated with expertise!! I am really happy with this tour & with Marco. Always asked if we had questions and gave us time to take pictures.
