Berlin Travel Guides (Updated September 2026)

If you love your WWII history, this is a great walking tour around the key monuments of Germany during the Nazi rule without having to plan it yourself. Our knowledgeable guide Zviek was fantastic and clear, just make sure to take pics quickly at each landmark as he will move fast to the next. Also gave recommendations for Checkpoint Charlie and the topography of terror museum at the end (both free).

This is something everyone should experience. A very sobering look at history. Something that shouldn’t be forgotten, a very dark period of history. The atmosphere here is different. Very still, very heavy. The hair on your neck will stand up.

Irish Paul was a great your guide.....he was knowledgeable and gave gravitate and context to the whole tour......highly recommended

It's a great way to spend a sunny afternoon. There are lots of bridges and interesting buildings and you get to go through a lock. And you can sip a beer. Taped description of sights was in German and English during this particular sailing. But, there is a lot of graffiti and a bit of garbage which was unexpected and disappointing.

Pete did a great job, very friendly and knowledgeable.

Glen was excellent. He was amazing with his knowledge of history and I would highly recommend him! We both enjoyed our tour and encourage others to do this tour if your looking for history of Germany!

We were totally thrilled again and enjoyed the evening very much.

Bert was a fantastic guide, I would recommend him to everyone, super interesting

I have been to the house 8 times and there is simply nothing negative to say at all! I like to count myself as a friend of this house!

Great experience. A perfect way to experience the club scene if you are solo or in a small group. Would recommend to anyone wanting to get introduced to the scene or meet new people.

Amazing experience, good places and great fun. Highly recommend whether you’re with friends or travelling solo!

An absolutely wonderful river tour! Loved it!

Really good drinks, nice experience

Great experience, lasted around 45 mins in total. First arrive in the bar, relax, have a drink, then an immersive video, moving onto inside the ice bar itself. Great attentive staff and good atmosphere. Good photo opportunities.

Absolutely brilliant! Our tour guide, Adrian (who was the initial founder of the Alternative Berlin tours, and has been doing them for decades) was phenomenal and passionate, and had an infinite supply of unique stories and personal anecdotes about Berlin as we walked around. The graffiti stopovers were very interesting and the places we visited/stopped outside were eclectic and not the type of tourism that you would find easily on your own; highlights included the Treehouse at the Wall and Naam, the Jamaican beach bar. The walk was quite long, but there were many stops where Adrian was speaking, including one where people could sit down. The only problem (well, half problem) was that, because of how passionate Adrian was, the tour overran massively and we had to leave at the second to last stop because we were too hungry! Would recommend bringing a sandwich or other food just in case your tour also overruns, but overall, a brilliant experience that everyone visiting Berlin should do.

Nick was an absolutely excellent guide and knew very well the history of the places we went to! :)
