Urban Insider Tour

½ day. Berlin is a living “creature” and it's always interesting to see how the city´s development takes shape. Your personal guide presents the city's history, urban development and its dynamic world.

This is a sightseeing tour for those who want to see the traditional top attractions as well as explore more edgy highlights beyond the tourist track. We give our visitors the chance to look behind the city's scenery where many surprises and secrets are to be detected. There are hidden oases, historic sites, cool neighbourhoods and odd architecture, which the visitors probably would not discover so easily on their own. We focus on the Old versus the New Berlin but your guide also reveals stories about Berlin's vibrant nightlife, trends, culture life, high unemployment, scandals, the creative scene and subcultures which influence the city.

We end the tour with a short walk by foot in the new epicentre of Eastberlin (the jewish neighbourhood) where we check up picturesque courtyards, art galleries, shops and visit a old ball room from the roaring twenties. This area is perfect to discover on your own after the tour.

Tour highlights: Museuminsel, Bebelplatz, Unter den Linden, Brandenburger Gate, jewish Holocaust memorial, Reichstag, Potsdamer Platz, die Strasse der 17. Juni, Siegessäule, Check Point Charlie, Berlin´s urban harbour „Osthafen“, Media Spree (O2 Arena), East Side Gallery, „Little Istanbul“, communist boulevard Karl-Marx-Allee, etc.
