4-hour private tour with our guide Stefan and driver Jurgen period we covered all the highlights of Berlin, East End West, which is exactly what we wanted to do and we learned so much about World War Two which was our primary goal. Not cheap but nice to have a private experience. We learned so much!
Tankred was an awesome guide and very knowledgeable. We saw so much that we wanted to stay longer but couldn't. This tour takes you to the highlights of the city of both old and newer Berlin. We will be taking this tour again.
Stefan was very knowledgeable; moved at an excellent pace; even had Euros for the WC! Vehicle was clean and comfortable b
Your was totally customizable. Guide had terrific local historical knowledge and brought us to sites we wanted to see. Added insights to each. Mini Van was new and clean. Driver was very nice.
We did this as a private tour (6 people) and that is the way to go. We learned so much about Berlin and the WWII history associated with Berlin. Our Guide T - cannot spell his name was great and so knowledgeable. Great tour, would highly recommend.
We had a driver and guide for this private tour. They took us to see all of the sights in Berlin that we wanted to see in a relatively short period of time. We wanted to buy some souvenirs at a particular store and they planned a route that would take us there as well. We weren't rushed trying to see things and the guide was happy to take pictures of us. He knew a lot of facts about so many of the sites in the city and we really learned a lot from him. They dropped us off at a restaurant that we wanted to have a late lunch at the end of the tour.
We really enjoyed doing this tour since it was planned to meet our criteria. They also catered to the fact that my husband and I couldn't do a lot of walking.
We had an incredible private tour of East and West Berlin, and I can’t recommend it enough! Our guide, Tankred, was absolutely fantastic—so knowledgeable about Berlin’s complex history and full of interesting fun facts that really brought the city to life. We learned so much in just 6 hours, and the pace was perfect.
Our driver was also excellent—professional, helpful, and made getting around the city smooth and stress-free. One of the highlights was stopping for some local Currywurst, which added a fun and tasty touch to the day.
If you want to see a lot of Berlin in a short time, with insightful commentary and great company, this private tour is the way to go!
We had a wonderful time exploring West and East Berlin. The history, landmarks, buildings are fascinating. Our guide Tankred was outstanding. His insights, knowledge and experience made this an absolute pleasure to be with. This is a must do tour while in Berlin.
Exceptional experience with well informed guide. Learned much about the history and architecture of Berlin. Very pleasant experience. No issues with meeting site or arrangements.
Stephan did a wonderful job of showing us Berlin. He is kind and knowledgable, and he presented Berlin today and yesterday in a very interesting way. My husband and I highly recommend this tour.
While there were several intrestering stops, we would have prefered visting more areas of the city. We spent to much time walking with guide. Would have prefered determining the itinerary at the start of the tour, as we would have skiped some of the stops. Tour was more expensive as it included a driver as well as the guide.
Response from Host, Jun 2025
We are sorry that the guide did not communicate clearly enough that this is an individual tour and that you may express any wishes you have with regard to the tour at the beginning and during the tour.
Greta overview. Comprehensive and well thought out. Tankred was an amazing tour guide. Highly recommend.
Very thorough and well planned out. Enjoyed the day which went very fast. We learned so much about Berlin and its history! Great transportation and driver with our own private guide, Stephen, who spoke perfect English.
Great guide ! We had a very knowledgable guide who shared a lot of interesting historic information.
Stefan was our tour guide and Yogan was our driver. The tour was not cheap but it was sure worth it. We only had one day to go around Berlin so I wanted to make sure we covered everything. Stefan was very knowledgeable and we learned a lot during our 6 hour trip. Yogan was always at out pick up point all the time. Very nice and very courteous. I would recommend this tour!
Our family of 5 had an amazing tour with Tankred, and learned so much about Berlin and the Cold War. I highly recommend.
Fantastic overview of all the major Berlin stops. Gethart was so knowledgeable, professional, and nice. Incredibly wonderful experience. Sets you up for a more in depth visit to the museums.
The tour was great and very educational. Stefan was a very professional guide. The drive in the mini van was very comfortable.
Stefan and the driver met us at our hotels precisely on time! Ok - they were 7 minutes early! We spent 6 great hours learning/seeing so much about Berlin. While I had been to Berlin for work 20 years ago, non of us had seen the city and so much explained to us. We got hungry and Stefan took us to a beer garden in the park by water. The perfect German fast food lunch! 5 stars for Stefan!!
We expected much more from this tour, but were left disappointed. The guide was inexperienced and had few stories to share. Highly priced tour for the value that it offers.

Viator wrote to us that it can neither track who gave the review nor to which booking it refers to!? (Chat correspondence with Viator on Sept. 16, 2024)
Stephan was our tour guide & he did an amazing job. We were a party of four & the tour was very informative and interesting. What was great is the Stephan was very knowledgeable about the history of Berlin & we learned many things that were not in the history books. He told us about unknown hero’s that lived in Berlin that helped many of the Jews during the war. In addition, he provided quite a few background stories on the buildings and history dating back to the turn of the century (1900’s). We all loved the tour & would highly recommend taking with Stephan.
The tour guide was wonderful but we had requested a car seat for a 5 month old infant and they confirmed but brought a car seat for a toddler so our minivan tour became a walking tour. The driver tried to make seat work but my son was not comfortable with his infant in a dangerous seat.
Gerhard was a great tour guide! We drove around the city to visit historic sites with Gerhard sharing his knowledge! Very interesting…
We were picked up from our hotel and Stefan, our tour guide, wasted no time jumping into an informative and entertaining tour. We learned so much during the tour, seeing the important sites across Berlin while also visiting portions that may not be as well known to most travelers. This was very important because it allowed us to learn more than we expected and wouldn't want it any other way. That being said, he also took us to all of the places that we wanted to see. Stefan was great with our kids and made the trip very easy through a combination of walking tours and driving tours. There's no question that World War II history can be difficult to discuss, and Stefan was graceful in his explanations. Highly recommend this tour for anyone who wants a personalized tour that allows you to experience the wide range of sites across Berlin while also seeing things that you didn't know to request.
The tour was okay. I wish we had more time to see the Berlin Wall and get off and take some pictures.
Response from Host, Aug 2024
Thank you. Since this is a private tour you can always communicate your requests to the guide. However, since an extensive visit of the Wall is always part of the tour please provide your booking reference no. to check. Thank you. Peter
We had limited time and with the championship football matches scheduled there were a lot of areas that you couldn’t access. Our guide Adrien was excellent and we were able to see everything and he was extremely knowledgeable and our tour was very informative and interesting. We could have never done it ourselves with our schedule. I would highly recommend this tour.
Stefan is a Fantastic guide, the ride was super comfortable and we saw all the main sights of Berlin in great fashion
We really enjoyed our driving tour with Stefan. We learned a lot and got a great overview of Berlin, walking at various spots and driving for the longer stretches. We also enjoyed our lunch at the lovely restaurant in the park. We would definitely recommend!
Stephen, our tour guide was very good and we learned a lot about the wall and life in east Germany before unification. My Grandson is a history enthusiast and he really enjoyed learning new things. Our driver was also very good and navigating the Berlin traffic well.
We had a fabulous time touring Berlin with our tour guide Stephan. What a world of knowledge he had to share with us. We had never visited this beautiful city before and we feel like we really know it now. So much history here. To learn and to understand why such tragic events happened here. We thought we knew a bit, but after seeing all we did and hearing about the events that happened we’ve really learned an incredible amount more. Another thing was my husband couldn’t go fast due to a leg injury and Stephan was so considerate of him and made sure he was ok. Very happy we booked this tour and you provided us with an excellent tour guide. Thank you!
