Ground zero – tucked away in a small park in the city district of Kreuzberg. This was first calculated in 1990, Continue reading "Berlin’s Most Unusual Objects – Explore Berlin In 365 Objects" VISIT THE COMMONWEALTH WAR CEMETERY Around 2,800 of the Royal Airforce Airmen shot down over Berlin and the surrounding areas of eastern Germany would end up buried in Berlin’s Commonwealth War Cemetery, now located in the district of Charlottenburg – a short walk from the Olympic Stadium. With airmen accounting for around 80% of the total 3,595 Commonwealth casualtiesfrom
EXPLORE THE STATE MUSEMS ON MUSEUM ISLAND Removed from Berlin by the dark waters of the River Spree, Museum Island is both central and separate from the city. Berlin’s pièce de résistance – its Smithsonian or British Museum – complete with five world class museums covering over 6,000 years of history – testament to this region’s time as capital of the Kingdom of Prussia and Imperial Germany. VISIT THE SEELOW HEIGHTS MEMORIAL In the early hours of April 16th, under cover of darkness, the Berlin offensive started at Seelow Heights, as thousands of artillery pieces and Katyusha rocket launchers bombarded the defensive fortifications. The opening barrage during the Battle of the Seelow Heights would see some 9000 Soviet guns firing 500,000 shells in 30 minutes. EXPLORE BERNAUER STRASSE The Berlin Wall documentation centre located here, at the former French-Soviet border, chronicles Bernauer Strasse’s role as witness – and conduit – to many successful escapes, and the personal tragedies that occured over the 28 years of the Wall’s existence. Including the first victim of the Berlin Wall, 58-year-old IdaSiekmann, who

EXPERT PRIVATE TOURS OF BERLIN “In over a decade of working as a professional guide, I have introduced thousands of visitors to Berlin; from independent travellers, families, companies and schools – to Holocaust survivors rediscovering the streets they once called home and the relatives of Nazi perpetrators seeking answers to the crimes within their familes. Originally from England, I moved to Berlin to work as a journalist before becoming a private tour guide in 2006. Specialising in Berlin’s turbulent 20th century history, I have spent years working at the former East German secret police headquarters as a historical consultant and am also a licensed guide at the Sachsenhausen Concentration Camp Memorial. Since 2014, I have served on the board of the Berlin Guides Association as Treasurer, Vice President and now President.” – read more about MattMATT ROBINSON

MY SERVICES
STROLL THROUGH THE CITY Berlin is a great city to explore on foot - relatively flat and with many of the major historic sights within walking distance! START ANYWHERE YOU WANT My tours can start anywhere in the city - with collection from your hotel/accommodation or at a centrally located landmark! PROFESSIONAL PRIVATE TRANSPORTATION For my private transportation tours, I only provide premium quality German vehicles (Volkswagen & Mercedes Benz) and professional drivers! FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS MOST FREQUENT QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT MY PRIVATE GUIDED TOURS OFBERLIN
OK, SO WHY SHOULD I TAKE A PRIVATE TOUR IN BERLIN? Taking a guided tour of Berlin is rightly considered a must when visiting the city. In the right company, you will find yourself experiencing things that will define your visit entirely – and leave you heading home with souvenirs, both material and intellectual, worth treasuring forever. Scratch the surface in Berlin and you’ll find that what is immediately visible to all is just the start of the adventure. If you’re looking to dig deeper, see more and learn more, enlisting the services of a professional private guide in Berlin will go a long way towards satisfying your curiosity. NOW I'M CONFUSED, WHICH TOUR SHOULD I BOOK? A Berlin Highlights touris
always the perfect starting point for first time visitors to the city looking to get better acquainted with the reality on the ground; Berlin’s turbulent history, its electrifying present, and the landmarks, memorials, and institutions that combine to make the city what it is. If you’ve got a special interest in exploring further, I also offer tailored private tours focusing on specific themes – whether you’re looking to explore the former Nazi government quarter on a Third Reich Berlin tour;
visit the former East German secret police headquarters as part of a Cold War Berlin tour, or
examine the city’s once vibrant Jewish history with a JewishHeritage tour
.
ARE ALL THE SUGGESTED SIGHTS LISTED IN YOUR TOURS COVERED ON EVERYTOUR?
The itinerary sights listed on our tour pages are a general guide to what may be covered when booking those particular tours. I appreciate that every guest is different and approaches the city with different expectations and interests – and tailor my tours accordingly. If you find something in particular that interests you then please do refer to this when contacting me so I can arrange your day accordingly. I am also happy to tailor any private tour to combine sights (such as aThird Reich
/Jewish
Heritage
day or Cold War
/Berlin
Highlights
for
example) and arrange two/three/four day and more itineraries. WHO ARE THE GUIDES THAT LEAD YOUR TOURS? I endeavour to lead all the tours I offer, but depending on availability may already be booked with other clients. In which case, I have a team of the best professional guides in Berlin, all with years of experience and dedication to their work, that I work with. All are members of the Berlin Guides Association , an organisation known throughout the city for its pride in guiding excellence. To learn more about these guides, have a look at some interviews with my associated guides: Jim McDonough, Asaf
Leshem ,
Heather Ellis
,
William Mollers
, and
Sam Bavin .
DO YOU RECOMMEND PRIVATE TRANSPORTATION FOR THE TOURS? My private transportation tours are all conducted with fully air-conditioned premium cars/vans (usually high end Mercedez Benz or Volkswagen). I believe this to be the best way to make the most of your time in Berlin while covering as much of the city and your itinerary as possible. All my Warnemünde-Berlin Shore Excursions are with similar private transportation – making any trip from the ship to shore and back more practical, enjoyable, and stress free than a big public tour. I also offer private tours of Berlin designed for guests who prefer to walk, where use of public transportation may also be necessary, depending on the sites included in the tour. Public transportation costs are not usually included in my walking tours, but in the event that you need tickets I am more than happy to arrangethe particulars.
HOW DO I MAKE A BOOKING WITH BERLIN EXPERIENCES? First, have a look through the collection of tours on the site and see what you are interested in. Using the Contact Form at the bottom of all pages, you can get in touch (I aim to reply to all requests within 24 hours) for a quote based on the type of tour you are interested in (whether an introductory Berlin Highlights tour, or

tours). If you are
interested in booking further experiences beyond what I suggest initially on the website, feel free to contact me either via the Contact Form or at info@berlinexperiences.com and I will happily tailor a personal private tour experience for you/your group. WHAT ARE THE PRICES OF YOUR TOURS? My prices vary based on tour particulars such as duration, group size, guide, transportation options and season. As I only offer exclusively private tours (with no other tourists accompanying your group) I do charge more than public tour group prices. My private walking tour rates start from 70€ per hour – with a three hour minimum booking. Private transportation tours I offer from 135€ per hour (Mercedes Benz Vito/Viano or Volkswagen Caravelle vans). I also have further options for luxury clients (Mercedes Benz S-class saloons) and large groups (Mercedes Sprinter Vans and larger buses).
