    Berlin with Betty !

    "Our tour of Berlin with Betty was very interesting and entertaining. Our guide was very cheerful and funny. The tour wasn't like a long history lesson, but rather very engaging, sharing facts and amusing stories about Berlin during the Nazi era and when the city was divided in two. The tour was interspersed with architectural, political, and historical commentary. Thank you for the wonderful tour!"

    Tour of Germany

    "Boyd does a wonderful job of showing things and places you wouldn't typically see and weaves stories with an equally great historical perspective into his orations. It is obvious he knows the city and its history and we would highly recommend him for any tour he offers. He is also very accommodating in adding or modifying things you might want to see. So very happy with our experience!"

    We loved our information-packed afternoon.

    "We had a great afternoon with Pablo. He’s incredibly well informed, and even though we thought we knew so much about the history of the city, we learned so much more. He’s funny and flexible and gave us a lot of information about other things to do, see and restaurants for the rest of our journey. "

    Marina about Claudia

    "Claudia is a wonderful guide! Very friendly, professional, knowledgeable and open to questions. As someone that grew up in Berlin, she brings a valuable first hand perspective. We really appreciate her sharing her own experiences with us. Berlin’s history doesn’t fall into an easy, straightforward timeline. Claudia is a great contextualizer, which is important to put things into perspective. Your tour has been one of the highlights of our trip! Thank you! Marina "

    Sara is a wealth of knowledge

    "Sara was a wonderful tour guide, so passionate about history and eager to inform us on the stories of this city. We were very receptive to her teachings and she ended up spending extra time making sure we saw everything that she thought we should see. We would highly recommend her if you are a history buff or just want and in-depth talk about history."

    Perfect Third Reich tour with Chris

    "We had the 4 hour tour with Chris. It was very informative, visited some less well known spots. Chris was really enthusiastic and knew his stuff! He explains the why behind events which was really interesting He was flexible to work around some of the sites we had already visited. We wish we had more time to do other tours, we will have to visit again!"

    Fabulous exploration of Berlin with Boyd

    "Because the weather was so good and it was a public holiday Boyd suggested that we set out on bike rather than on foot . It was a brilliant idea as we were able to cover much more ground . Boyd was an excellent guide sharing his knowledge of Berlin history , life in contemporary Berlin and taking us off the beaten path from time to time to see sights and architecture of interest . Boyd was incredibly generous with his time and sharing of knowledge and we thoroughly enjoyed our time with him and afterwards explored some other places and experiences that he suggested while we still had use of our bikes . Thank you Boyd . "

Private Tours of the Berlin Government Quarter

Feel the pulse of German democracy in the Berlin Government Quarter. This is where history is made! A private tour of the Berlin Government Quarter with a local reveals stories the monuments can't tell.

  • History of the Reichstag in the Government Quarter

    The Reichstag is the heart of the Berlin Government Quarter. After severe damage in WWII, it stood as a ruin for decades. Its stunning glass dome, added in the 1990s, symbolizes political transparency.

  • Unity in Architecture: Berlin Government Quarter

    The 'Band des Bundes' or 'Federal Ribbon' is a striking architectural concept in the Berlin Government Quarter. It's a series of buildings connecting East and West over the Spree, symbolizing German unity.

  • Angela Merkel's Government Quarter Office

    Angela Merkel, one of the world's most powerful women, led Germany from the Chancellery in the Berlin Government Quarter. Locals affectionately nicknamed the modern building the 'washing machine'.

  • A Taste of the Berlin Government Quarter

    While touring the Berlin Government Quarter, do as the locals do and grab a Currywurst! This iconic Berlin street food is a favorite, quick, and delicious snack for everyone, from tourists to politicians.

  • A Moment of Reflection Near the Quarter

    The Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe is a short walk from the Government Quarter. Its 2,711 concrete slabs create a powerful, disorienting space for reflection on a somber part of German history.

  • The Spree River: A Tour Through Power

    The Spree River is central to the Berlin Government Quarter's design. A boat tour offers a unique perspective of the Chancellery and Reichstag, revealing how water is woven into the city's political fabric.
