See all of Berlin in one day - Private Tour
"Our tour guide Matti was so knowledgeable about the history of Berlin. It's so nice to have a guide who has been brought up in the city you are visiting but sometimes their accent makes it hard to understand. Not so Matti. We understood and took in every word. It was so interesting. You need comfortable footwear as you are walking for a long time - however you don't feel rushed. Highly recommended tour - worth every penny. Thank you Matti."

How much would a private Berlin tour cost?
Private Berlin tour costs can vary widely, generally falling between 50 and 100 euros per hour. However, the final price can be influenced by various factors like duration, group size, inclusions, and customization. I'm happy to give discounts on full day tours like this one. Additionally, the use of private cars or buses for transportation during the tour can increase the overall cost. For accurate pricing based on your preferences and transportation needs, it's best to directly inquire with me.
Is Berlin easy to walk around?
Berlin is generally easy to navigate on foot, especially in its central areas. Many attractions are within walking distance, and the city boasts pedestrian-friendly paths and well-connected streets. However, due to its size and spread, some attractions might be farther apart, requiring the use of public transportation or other means to explore efficiently. Overall, walking is a fantastic way to experience Berlin's vibe and discover its hidden gems, but using public transport is also beneficial for covering longer distances.
