Where to Walk: the 5 Best Full-Day Walking Tours

1.Berlin Private Complete History All Day Walking Tour

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 474 reviews · 6 hours (approx.) · from $253Our pick

Spend about six hours walking Berlin with a private English-speaking guide, visiting 22 major sites from the Brandenburg Gate and Reichstag to Checkpoint Charlie, Museum Island, and Alexanderplatz. Guides such as Rhys, Paul, Ciaran, Beth, and Ken bring strong historical knowledge, adapt the pace, and can shape the day around your interests.

“Kieran (sp?) was an amazing guide. He is extremely knowledgeable on a wide range of topics. This is a fantastic tour to get an understanding of Berlin’s history especially since the turn of the century. The time and pacing was also really well planned. We never felt rushed nor did we spend too much time in any one area or on any one topic. I would highly recommend this as a tour to take on your first day in Berlin to help you gain your bearings and understand where you want to spend more time during the remainder of your visit.”

“The whole trip was just great. The organizer was excellent, gave us options at all times and catered to all our needs. Both the guide for the jungle hike and for the canoe tour were very relaxed locals who were also very responsive to us and behaved in an exemplary manner in every situation. The break to swim in the river was a wonderful and refreshing experience and came at the right time. The lunch was delicious and to our surprise we were even allowed to learn something and prepare our papaya salad with instructions. During the canoe tour, the guide prepared tea and coffee in bamboo. Which was exciting…”
