Visit the must-sees at the top! - Walk to discover the must-see attractions of Berlin which allowed us to identify the points to visit afterwards. We greet our French guide Sandra who was excellent, answering our questions about the city and Berlin habits. I highly recommend taking a tour like this at the start of your stay.

An excellent guided tour - We took the East Berlin Tour in French, with Catherine. There were 7 of us from the same family, small (13 years old and older 70+). We all really enjoyed the tour. Catherine's walking pace, information, anecdotes. Everything is there, we learn a lot. I 100% recommend this visit to better understand what East Berlin meant, and what remains of it today.

It was a perfect tour. We really appreciated the 3 hours walking tour - I highly recommand the tours organized by Vive Berlins Tours. On May 28th we have the "Incournables de Berlin tour" and it was perfect. Very instructive, many details, we learnt many things. Sandra was a perfect guide ....She explained many points linked with the "memory process" and our authorities and population decided to manifest "memory duty" .... So again you can really trust in ViveBerlin organisations and kindness of their guides . By the way we decided to book another tour with them during our stay. Pascal & Catherine P

The three hours passed too quickly - We spent three exciting hours with Paul. The comments were detailed and relevant, all in a relaxed and good humored manner. A real pleasure.

Visit Berlin - Jean Charles is great! He knows his subject and expresses himself clearly and precisely 🤩 very enriching visit. He explained and showed us the interior and exterior wall and we discovered things that we would not have understood alone.
