Tour description

Berlin is without any doubts one of the most interesting and important cities in the world. Our tour will give you a good understanding of the city, its history and the many ideas born in Berlin that shaped this city and the entire world! We will journey in time from the humble medieval beginnings, through the capital of a mighty kingdom and empire, revolution, dark times of nazism, destruction and communist divisions up to today – the trendiest and hottest city in the world. That was truly a spectacular transition, one you should not miss! 


On the tour we will see and discuss:

  • TV tower
  • Red Town Hall and the remains of the old Berlin
  • Museum Island and the Berlin Cathedral
  • Unter Den Linden and Humboldt University
  • Gendarmenmarkt and Book Burning Sites
  • Checkpoint Charlie and Berlin Wall stories
  • Adolf Hitler’s Bunker Site
  • Jewish Holocaust Memorial
  • Brandenburg Gate


The last stop for this tour is Brandenburg Gate.

Look for the yellow umbrella at the meeting point!

ℹ️ ⚠️ ATTENTION - booking rules

The tour is fit for pets, but one site, the Holocaust Memorial, is only allowed to walk around (so you see it, but not walk through). Please have that in mind.

Please note that our free tours are designed for individual travelers and small private groups only. Hence, we do not accept parties of 8 or more people on regular free tours and guides have the right to deny participation to such groups. If you travel in a party of 8 or more please book a private tour in advance.


If you show up at the meeting point with the bigger group our guide will ask you for the payment (12 eur/person) before the tour or cancel your reservation on the spot. To confirm your reservation please arrive 10 minutes before starting. We can not guarantee participation when you will be late.                                  

Please note that multiply bookings (under different names) for 7 people who belong to one group will still be treated as one organized group and the guide has the right to deny participation to such parties.

This policy is implied in the best interest of our individual visitors. 

Please respect our rules.

Our “Welcome to Berlin Tour” with Jules was everything we could have wished for and more! Her knowledge of the city and its history was highly impressive. During the tour you could see that Jules is truly passionate about what she does. Her bubbly personality and kindness made you feel like you were discovering the city with a friend. We highly recommend taking a tour with Jules - it’s a brilliant way of starting your Berlin trip!

Wir haben mit Jules die Welcome Berlin Tour gemacht und waren absolut begeistert. Man merkt absolut, dass sie für Berlin und die Historie brennt und genau das gibt sie in ihrer Tour auch wieder. Neben unheimlich vielen Informationen, gab es auch einige persönliche Anekdoten und Themen, die die Tour absolut authentisch und lebendig gemacht haben. Vielen Dank für dieses tolle Erlebnis!
