This tour is the perfect solution: your guide will introduce you to the best things the most popular European capital of the moment has to offer. With this exciting and eventful journey, you will cover almost 800 years of Berlin history by strolling through the most important sites in the city's historical landscape, from its genesis to the Prussian era, the Nazi period, the Cold War and the reunification, up to its present role.
