Jochen gave us a wonderful introduction to Berlin that was just perfect for our three-generational group. The tour was well-organized and comprehensive but never rushed. He was very knowledgeable and most engaging. Highly recommend

Ben knows Berlin

Ashley_W, Jul 2026
One of the best tours I’ve ever been on. And I have been on a lot of tours. Ben was so knowledgeable, funny, insightful, I could go on and on. Do not miss this tour and do this tour with him.

Great tour

Laurie_S, Jul 2026
A lot in a short time. We saw a lot of what we wanted to see in just 3 hours of driving around the city. It was brutally hot that day and the guide made sure to keep that in mind while showing us the sites. He was great. The driver was amusing and between the two of them kept us entertained with stories and personal experiences. I highly recommend!

You MUST take this tour!

Kelly_M, Jul 2026
This has to be the most fun and informative tour we have ever taken. Our driver, Patrick could not do enough for us: He was always smiling and laughing and nothing seemed to be too much trouble; He kept a very cool head in some tricky situations; As a bonus, he was an excellent driver! Our guide, Walid was the most amazing, professional, knowledgeable, personable and down-right funny person. I cannot speak more highly of Walid: There was no question he wasn't able to answer; He gave us insights into the places we visited that we wouldn't have otherwise come across if it wasn't for him; He was educational, entertaining and emotionally intuitive all at once - very important skills to have especially when visiting sombre sites. We visited so many wonderful sites around Berlin including Sachsenhausen Memorial. There is no way we could have so thoroughly covered so much of Berlin without Patrick and Walid. Thank you so much for a wonderful day. We highly recommend this tour to everyone.

Viator is the best way to see Berlin!

Susan_W, May 2026
We had the BEST guide possible. We were able to see the sights that we knew about and we were able to learn about much that we didn’t know before.

Response from Host, May 2026

Dear Susan, Thank you very much for your kind words. We are delighted to hear that you had such a great experience with us. Just to clarify, Viator is the booking platform used to reserve the tour.

Took a regular tour to another level! Out guide Nick and our driver Marcus made the trip fun and informational !

Best of Berlin

Tim_K, May 2026
Our guide, Nick, was extremely knowledgeable in all aspects of the tour. He had pictures of devastation of the city so we could contrast it to the way Berlin looks today. The three hour tour went by very quickly.

An Exceptional Guide

Tamar_H, Apr 2026
Martin is a superb guide. My husband is a longtime student of history. He and I were overwhelmed by Martin's knowledge and explanation of what we were seeing. He is both a student and a teacher of Berlin's events, leaders, villains, and heroes.

Berlin highlights

A great way to see everything with ease for all ages and interests. Most pleasing and friendly guide and driver also!

Lovely guide and driver

Mary_F, Jan 2026
Excellent day, very punctual and informative on the subjects visited. Learned lots about the landmarks

Outstanding private tour of Berlin — highly recommended

Raul_M, Jan 2026
We had a complete private tour of Berlin with Jose on a cold and snowy day, and it was absolutely outstanding. Despite the weather, Jose never rushed us at any point. We visited Sachsenhausen Concentration Camp and all the major Berlin landmarks, and at every stop he provided very detailed explanations, including historical context, exact names, locations, and dates. His knowledge of Berlin’s history is deep and precise, and he presents it in a clear, engaging way. He made sure we were comfortable, answered all questions thoroughly, and adjusted the pace naturally without ever making us feel rushed. This tour felt serious, respectful, and educational, especially at Sachsenhausen, while still being very human and approachable. If you want a guide who truly knows the history and takes the time to explain it properly, Jose is the right person. We would 100% recommend Jose and this tour to anyone visiting Berlin.

Busy Day in Berlin

Kathleen_H, Dec 2025
Our 3-hour private, customized tour with Nick and the driver, Markus, was a great introduction to Berlin history during and post-WWII. We appreciated the context and images that were shared during the tour. Learning about Markus' personal story, the acrobat from east Berlin, was an incredible conclusion to the history tour. The icing on the cake/torte, was ending our tour at Rausch Schokoladenhaus (the chocolate house). We are so thankful for the educational and cultural experience.

Response from Host, Jan 2026

Dear Kathleen, Thank you so much for your lovely review. We are absolutely happy that you enjoyed your private, tour. All of our private tours are fully customizable, and we are truly happy we could tailor this one for you. Ending the tour at Rausch Schokoladenhaus was the perfect sweet finale—it’s a personal favorite of mine as well, so it genuinely makes me smile knowing you enjoyed it too. Thank you again for choosing us. We hope to welcome you back to Berlin one day! Warm regards, Natalia Vexperio

A must!

Michelle_H, Dec 2025
Natalie and Markus were incredible! We have been in Berlin for a couple days and had seen quite a few things, but they were able to tailor the tour to cover things that we hadn’t seen yet and make a custom schedule for us. They added so much to the tour with additional pictures and lots of historical information. I can’t tell you how exceptional it was!

Response from Host, Dec 2025

Hello, Thank you so much for your wonderful review! Natalie truly is absolutely amazing—we can’t recommend her enough. And Markus is exceptional as well, with a deep knowledge of Berlin’s history that goes far beyond what you’ll find online. We’re so happy they were able to tailor the tour just for you and make your time in Berlin so special. Thank you again for sharing your experience—we hope to welcome you back again soon! Warm regards, Natalia Vexperio

Not to be missed

Alison_D, Dec 2025
2 hour driving tour with guide Walid & driver Markus. Packed with historical knowledge at key sites in Berlin with photo opportunities, entertaining & fun. Highly recommend

Exactly what we wanted for our family.

Michael_G, Nov 2025
Our guide Natalie was a wealth of knowledge and as pleasant as we could have hoped for. From the introduction and brief overview in or hotel lobby to the final goodby at the end of our tour, we we kept informed and entertained. Our 11 year old son felt he learned more in the three hours than he had studying the same topic for a month at school. Everything about the tour, including the warm van on a chilly day, was exactly what our family was looking for.

History and the new rise of Berlin

Howell_B, Oct 2025
Nick, our tour guide was great. He was full of incite and history. He's an archeologist which came in hand when speaking about the bombing raids on Berlin.

Fantastic time spent with...

steve_h, Oct 2025
Fantastic time spent with Jamie who was superb. Very high level of historic information and have a great over view of Berlin

Perfect for a first time Berlin visit !!!

Jason_M, Oct 2025
Awesome tour filled with great locations both new and historical. The overall pace was also good noting we only had 3 hours. Ioana provided a lot of knowledge on the area and history per spot. And our driver Marcos was also very cool and funny. Even our local German friends learned a lot and enjoyed the tour.

Joana and Marcus were fun...

Cher_N, Sep 2025
Joana and Marcus were fun tour host and driver. We stopped and viewed many outstanding sites and jumped back into the car to the next spot to view. A very informative 3 hours which gave us a great overview of this fabulous city. Not a cheap way to see Berlin but when you only have 48 hours - it was a great way to pack it all in!

Walid and Marcus and the best tour ever

Michael_L, Sep 2025
My son said this was the best tour we had ever been on and I would have to agree. We could not have asked for a more informed, enthusiastic, friendly, and humorous guide than Walid and his colleague Marcus, our driver was also extremely knowledgeable and friendly. I recommend this tour without reservation.

Absolutely PERFECT!

Christine_W, Sep 2025
We absolutely LOVED this tour! From the private transport that picked us up at the hotel to the personalized itinerary of stops -it was exactly what we were looking for. The real superstar of the tour though was our guide Natalie! She was so full of knowledge regarding architecture, culture, and the history of Berlin/WW2. She was so animated and full of stories regarding everything we saw and why it was significant. It added so much to our understanding of the city and our 6 hour tour flew by. We are forever grateful for her truly introducing us to Germany in the best possible way! Highly recommend!

Nick was an expert on...

Lisa_P, Sep 2025
Nick was an expert on German history, WWI-WWII and Cold War. We covered the highlights in a delightful morning. He had a driver which allowed him to concentrate on the commentary. We were able to cover more ground with the driver at the ready. Highly recommend.

Berlin driving tour

Jama_R, Aug 2025
Jochen our guide is incredibly knowledgeable about WW II and Cold War history. He is well organized with his information, brings the experiences to life. He is passionate about what history has to teach us today. Might be the best tour guide we have ever had (and we’ve had a lot).

rekha_d, Aug 2025
Reliable and prompt.We were looking to find our guide and Scott even came inside the Berlin station to meet us. Scott and driver Markus were flexible and covered the maximum spots during our tour. Professional and knowledgeable.

Changed our lives

Callie_N, Aug 2025
This is the best tour I’ve ever taken. Our guide, Jochan, and driver Marcus were absolutely extraordinary. Extremely knowledgeable and very entertaining. We did the 6 hour option and it covered every major highlight we could have hoped for. We highly recommend. We all feel a deep connection to the history of this amazing city.

Natalie was a great...

Rachel_L, Aug 2025
Natalie was a great guide. She provided so much history and interesting details. It was a good combination of walking and riding.

Learned so much about Berlin

Barbara_P, Jul 2025
Contact before the tour was good regarding the time and meeting place in the train station. Tal was a very knowledgeable, friendly and personable guide. Our driver, Ayman, was always in the spot we needed throughout our tour. We saw so much in so little time because we had to get back to the train. However, we never felt rushed.

Berlin Highlights, Six-hour

Ronney_R, Jul 2025
Walid, our guide was very friendly, and provided a great, comprehensive survey tour of Berlin sights and neighborhoods. Arnaud, our driver was gracious and accommodating. Both of these gentlemen were true professionals. We saw more during the intense, six-hour tour than we could have imagined seeing in 3 days on our own.

Excellent tour. Tour...

Anita_U, Jul 2025
Excellent tour. Tour guide was very knowledgeable and we saw all the major Berlin sights in this tour. Enjoyed the history and learning about Berlin

Great First Introduction to Berlin

Alicia_O, Jul 2025
Great introduction to the history of Berlin. We were a multi generational family with seniors with some physical limitations, so using the van to see a lot of the sites was ideal. Joerg was so engaging and knowledgable. It was lovely all around!
