Top Berlin Bus Tours

Jimmy was incredible knowledgeable, and an amazing host for this tour. He really knows a lot about German history and the city. This was a great tour to do on our first day in Berlin to learn the lay of the land. Jimmy also recommended some great restaurants and places to see. 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.

Whole family enjoyed this tour. Our guide, Rhys, was very flexible, adapting to kids’ need to play in snow! He was also really informative in an engaging way bringing history of the city and its paradoxes to life. Felt like being shown around a friend’s home city.

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.

This trip is well organized and nicely structured to give Berlin visitors a chance to see and learn about Nazi atrocities without committing an entire day and night. I’ve never finished a tour with as heavy a heart and mind but I would take the tour again….. Our tour guide Natalie was absolutely superb!!! Deeply knowledgeable, thoughtful about the subject, friendly and helpful to all us non-Berliners with suggestions and logistics.

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.

A great way to see Berlin in a day with a very knowledgeable tour guide, much better than walking all day. Our tour guide was Yael, a 34 year old woman from Israel who had immigrated to Germany a bit over 3 years ago. She was charismatic and passionate with a wealth of knowledge to impart on us. Apparently in addition to being a tour guide she worked the improv clubs as a standup comic and of course supported herself as a waitress. I would highly recommend the tour, especially if you are lucky enough to have Yael as your guide

This tour is so much fun, so beautiful, and full of rich history. Our guide was from Whales and really had the gift of story telling, because there is so much to learn, and I remember almost everything he educated us on. It’s also great because you meet in Berlin, and take the train together, so for people new to Berlin, it’s nice to have some to guide you to bus stops and train stations. The walk through Potsdam takes you through all the most beautiful sites to see, and you can make a note for things you want to come back and explore after the tour. Sanssouci Palace entry tickets are sold separately, so make sure to purchase your entry tickets and align it with the end time of your tour, because you end the tour at the entrance of the palace. The sanssouci museum is a three minute walk from the palace, and id highly recommend that one as well! You have plenty of time on the tour to grab water, the BEST gelato, a sandwich, pastry or doner kabob, whatever your heart desires. My advice is, to stay in Potsdam after the tour is over, and really take in the sights! So beautiful. Had a great time.
