Fun Energy, Engaging Tour!
"We had such a good time with Betty on our tour of Berlin! She has a fun, positive energy, and a great knowledge of the city in its history. We saw some fascinating landmarks and got some insight and behind the scenes viewpoints of this historic place. Despite the freezing cold, she was a warm welcome to the city!"
"We booked the Berlin in a Day tour with Miha. He was an engaging and informative guide, flexible when required, but above all extremely knowledgeable. There is no way we could have achieved the understanding of the post war / cold war locations without his expert commentary. Equally he was happy to discuss any topic we wanted, so was more like a trip wth a friend rather than a guide. All in, a wonderful day with Miha"

Stand before a true symbol of unity and history! Our private Brandenburg Gate tours reveal the secrets behind this neoclassical masterpiece. Feel the pulse of Berlin right here at the magnificent Brandenburg Gate.
A Gate Through German History
The Brandenburg Gate has witnessed Napoleon's victory march, Nazi parades, and its own isolation by the Berlin Wall. It stood as a symbol of division but now represents Germany's powerful reunification.
The Quadriga of the Brandenburg Gate
Atop the Brandenburg Gate sits the Quadriga, a chariot driven by Victoria, the Roman goddess of victory. Stolen by Napoleon and later returned, it's a powerful symbol of Berlin's triumph and resilience.
Neoclassical Beauty at the Brandenburg Gate
Inspired by the gateway to the Acropolis in Athens, the Brandenburg Gate was designed as a grand 'peace gate'. A local guide can point out the intricate details of its stunning neoclassical architecture.
Taste of Berlin near the Brandenburg Gate
After marveling at the Brandenburg Gate, do as Berliners do and grab a delicious Currywurst from a nearby stall. It's the quintessential Berlin street food experience, a true taste of the city's culture.
Reagan at the Brandenburg Gate
On June 12, 1987, U.S. President Ronald Reagan stood at the Brandenburg Gate and famously challenged Mikhail Gorbachev to 'Tear down this wall!'. This speech echoed around the world, fueling hopes for reunification.

She was enthusiastic, great with the kids in our group, and was able to answer all of our questions. We loved her as our tour guide and would absolutely recommend her to anyone visiting Berlin! "
"We had a very nice tour with Lee through Berlin, learning everything about East Berlin during the Cold War period. Lee was very knowledgeable about the topice, and also just a nice and smart person. We would recommend the tour to anyone who wants to learn more about East Berlin, and four hours might seem long, but it went by pretty fast for us!"

We appreciate the high flexibility to address our specific requirements.
Fully recommended!"
