Start your trip by meeting your guide in front of Hotel Adlon Kempinski at your chosen time.

Spend the next 90 minutes covering a wide range of Berlin sights. Your trip will vary depending on your interests and schedule. You might stop by Berlin’s famous Museum Island, home to countless ancient antiquities, pay your respects at the city’s solemn Holocaust Memorial, or view the location of Hitler’s one-time bunker. There’s also plenty of other options, including Bebelplatz, Gendarmenmarkt, or a sight of your choosing.

As you absorb a wealth of knowledge from your guide, make sure to also ask them for city sightseeing, food, and drinking tips. Your local host is sure to have the low-down on some of the city’s newest hangout spots and eating options. You’ll return back to your original starting point at the end of the experience.

Wonderful Experience!

Shamikka_S, Aug 2025

Our tour guide Lee was very knowledgeable and personable. He answered any questions that we had and took us to not only historical locations but also cool spots that locals visit and places where we could shop (we found a lot of uniquejewelry pieces). He also gave a few restaurant recommendations as well. One of our favorite tours on the trip.

Awesome trip

Zhongyu_C, Mar 2022

This tour is awesome to give me the landscape of the Berlin’s history. Michele is so nice and patient that I can find her a friend more than a guide. I really enjoyed this trip.

Great experience - would recommend!

Bruce_D, Apr 2021

Michele was terrific - her background in the arts world gave us a new perspective on the city and her passion for the history of the city was evident. We enjoyed the tour immensely!

A trip with Berlin’s awesome guide!

Derrick_M, Mar 2021

Our experience with Michèle was awesome. She made us comfortable right from the start and also made us feel safe during our walk. She took time to explain every part of our walk and did not rush through the trip. She was also very patient in answering questions and super informative. It was an amazing experience for us and I would recommend Michèle for anyone new to Berlin.

Worth every penny

Falsche Organisation

Sigrid_M, Sep 2021

Wir hatten eine Tour mit einem deutschsprachigem Guide gebucht da wir kein/ nur wenig Englisch sprechen. Unsere Reiseführerin kam aus Chicago und sprach wirklich sehr wenig deutsch. Somit haben wir zwar einiges gesehen aber wenig verstanden. Sehr schade. Die Reiseführerin war wirklich sehr sympathisch und sie tat uns leid da sie am allerwenigsten für die falsche Organisation konnte.

Response from Host, Sep 2021

Dear Sigrid, we are sorry that this has happened. Currently we are investigating the situation. If you will, please email us at info@withlocals.com and we will try to make up for the poor alleged quality of this experience. Looking forward to hearing from you.

Tanta storia e simpatia in appena 1 ora e mezza…

Giovanni_F, Aug 2021

Michele, la nostra guida, è stata molto cordiale e simpatica e con la sua approfondita conoscenza ci ha fatto vivere e conoscere molti particolari, che anche se appassionati di storia, non conoscevamo… molto consigliata!
