Common questions about the tours
?What types of tours do you offer
I offer a wide variety of private tours in Berlin, tailored to all interests and needs. On the tours page of my website, you'll find a complete list of all tours, including historical, artistic, culinary, and more. Each tour is meticulously planned to provide you with an in-depth and fascinating experience of Berlin.
?When and where do the tours start
Flexibility is key! The tours are designed with your convenience in mind. We can start the tour at any time you choose and at any location that's convenient for you – whether it's at your hotel, a central meeting point, or any other place you prefer.
?Are the tours really private
Absolutely! All the tours I offer are completely private, meaning your group will be the only one on the tour. This allows me to tailor the tour precisely to your interests, pace, and specific needs. There's no joining of strangers, ensuring an intimate and personalized experience.
?How many people can participate in a private tour
There is no limit to the number of participants in your private group. Whether you're a couple, a family, or a group of friends, the tour will be tailored to the exact number of people in your group.
?Who is the guide on the tours
I personally guide all the tours. As a guide with years of experience and in-depth knowledge of Berlin, I am committed to providing you with an unforgettable experience. You can find recommendations and reviews from previous clients on the testimonials page.
?Can we talk to you before the tour
Of course! I'd be happy to chat with you before the tour to ensure I understand your expectations and needs. You are welcome to contact me in any way that is convenient for you – phone, WhatsApp, email, or through the contact form on the website. I'll be happy to answer any questions, give recommendations, and help you plan the perfect visit to Berlin.
?How long are the tours
Most of my tours last between 5 and 6 hours, allowing for an in-depth overview of the selected sites and topics. However, I also offer shorter tours of about 3.5 hours for those who want a more concise experience. Additionally, I am flexible in adjusting the duration of the tour to your needs – whether you want a short 2-hour tour or a full day of exploring the city.
?Is it possible to combine tours
Absolutely! One of the great advantages of a private tour is the ability to combine themes and sites from different tours. I'd be happy to help you create a customized itinerary that combines your various interests. For example, you can combine historical sites with the contemporary art scene.
?Are the tours suitable for children, adults, or people with special needs
My tours are designed to suit all ages and abilities. For children, I incorporate age-appropriate content to keep them engaged. For adults, I adjust the walking pace and add rest stops as needed. For people with special needs, I make every effort to make the tour accessible – for example, by choosing wheelchair-accessible routes or adapting explanations for people with hearing or visual impairments. Please inform me in advance of any special needs so I can prepare accordingly.
?What do we do in case of rain or snow
Berlin is beautiful in any weather, and most tours can be held as usual even in less favorable weather conditions. I always come prepared with recommendations for shelters or alternatives in case of heavy rain or extreme weather conditions. Additionally, I can recommend suitable clothing and adjust the itinerary to include more indoor sites. If the weather is truly extreme, we can discuss together the options of rescheduling or adapting the tour.
?How will we get around the city during the tours
My tours combine walking with the use of Berlin's excellent public transportation system. This is the best way to experience the city like a true local and reach places that tour buses don't go to. If necessary, we can also use taxis. I will take care of purchasing public transportation tickets for you if needed.
?How do I purchase public transportation tickets
Berlin's public transportation system is one of the best in Europe and very easy to use. On this page, you can find detailed information about the various ticketing options. I recommend purchasing a day ticket or a multi-day ticket, which allows unlimited travel on all modes of transportation. If you don't have tickets yet, I'd be happy to help you purchase them at the beginning of the tour or even order them for you in advance if you wish. I will also guide you on how to use the transportation system efficiently throughout the rest of your stay in the city.
?Can I make special requests during the tours
Absolutely! I encourage special requests and specific interests. Whether it's a visit to a specific site not included in the regular tour, a focus on a particular historical topic, or even a stop at a specific restaurant or shop – I'd love to hear your ideas and incorporate them into the tour. The more information you provide me about your interests, the better I can tailor the tour to your personal taste.
?How do I book a tour
Booking a tour is simple and convenient. You are welcome to contact me through the contact form on the website, by phone, WhatsApp, or email. I'd be happy to answer any questions and help you choose the most suitable tour for you.
?Are tours available in English
Yes, definitely! All my tours are also available in English. If there are speakers of different languages in your group, I can also provide explanations in both languages alternately, to ensure that all participants get the most out of the tou
