Private Berlin Masterclass: Full-Day Expert History Tour

A bespoke, private full-day tour of Berlin's most iconic historic sites — Brandenburg Gate, Reichstag, Holocaust Memorial, Checkpoint Charlie — led by a PhD-level local expert. The ultimate bucket-list deep-dive into the city that shaped the 20th century.

What to expect

Your expert guide meets you at a central Berlin landmark and leads you through the city's defining chapters: the fall of the Wall, the Third Reich, the Cold War divide, and reunification. You'll stand at the Brandenburg Gate as your guide brings its layered history to life, descend into the sobering landscape of the Holocaust Memorial, and cross into the former East at Checkpoint Charlie. The day unfolds at your pace, with private access to the stories behind the stones.
