- Brandenburg Gate - Berlin’s and maybe Germany’s most famous landmark. This gate built in the late 18th century saw Napoleon march through, Hitler, and then it was walled off inbetween the Berlin Wall. Then, in 1989, this is where everyone came to celebrate the end of the Wall and German unification.

A great experience with "A Friend in Berlin" private tours - We took two 5-hours tours in Berlin. Our guide , Winfried, was the best we've ever met, beeing very knowlagable, dedicated and funny. He took us to the highlights of berlin, but also to some less known sites, which we would never have visited without him. He also spent a lot of his own time trying to help us with a problem we had with our BVG tickets. Our driver was also very nice and helpfull.
Thank you Winfried, we hope to meet you again in Berlin.

Our Day in Berlin! - We are a group of 14 friends on a motor coach of the city of Berlin. Our fabulous tour guide was Winfried who greeted us at the train station and saw us safely back to our departure.
He guided through the busy sights while skilfully giving us information and answering all our questions. We appreciated his sharing his personal experiences, especially with regard to the Berlin Wall and the time period before and then after Berlin became one.
The day was as we hoped it would be, much thanks to the kindness, good nature and considerable knowledge imparted by Winfried.
A note about booking, all my questions were promptly and well answered.
We fourteen highly recommend A Friend in Berlin and our special tour guide, Winfried. It was freude!

Outstanding - We really enjoyed seeing the sights of Berlin but the highlight was the deep knowledge of our guide Thomas. It was apparent that he was very passionate about his work and took pride in doing research on the subject so that he would not give us any incorrect information.
