Our 2-Hour Berlin Express Tour is designed for visitors who want to see as much of central Berlin as possible in a limited amount of time. With your own private guide, you’ll visit the city’s key landmarks while hearing the essential stories behind Berlin’s remarkable history.

The route takes in highlights including Brandenburg Gate, the Reichstag, the Berlin Wall, Checkpoint Charlie, Museum Island and the site of Hitler’s former bunker, giving you a compact introduction to Prussian Berlin, Nazi Germany, the Cold War and reunification.

Because the tour is completely private, your guide can adapt the pace and emphasis to your interests. It is ideal for first-time visitors, business travellers, cruise passengers or anyone with only a few hours available in Berlin.

Your private guide will meet you at your Berlin accommodation or another agreed meeting point before setting out on your tour.

Why Choose Our 2-Hour Berlin Express Tour?

We were picked up from our hotel and provided a wonderful tour full of historical and fun information. The company was very accommodating and pleasant to deal with. We did the 4 hour Berlin tour and it was packed full but also not too full so that we couldn't enjoy it. It was perfect.

There were seven people in our group looking for a tour guide for a one-day tour of the highlights in Berlin. We're so glad we booked this tour. Mark packed a full day of sight-seeing for us, and answered all of our questions as well as showed many other sights we would have never known to ask to see. It was such an interesting (and fun) day for the 7 of us and we enjoyed every minute. We asked to be taken to a "traditional" German restaurant somewhere in the area of our tour for an authentic German meal and Mark could not have picked a better place! He was very mindful of our limited time and let us choose sites to visit or not and made additional suggestions. We were so happy with his suggestions for our day of touring. We highly recommend you choose Mark if you are looking for any type of a tour guide of Berlin.....you won't be sorry you did.
