Frequently Asked Questions About My Private Berlin Tours
What types of private tours do you offer?
I offer a wide range of private tours in Berlin, each tailored to your interests and pace. Explore the city’s rich history, Jewish heritage, vibrant art scene, unique neighborhoods, street food culture, and more. You’ll find a full list of available tours on the Tours page. Every tour is thoughtfully designed to provide a meaningful, engaging, and memorable experience of Berlin.
When and where do the tours start?
Flexibility is part of the experience. You choose the start time and meeting point — whether that’s your hotel, a central location, or any other place that’s convenient for you.
Are the tours truly private?
Yes — 100% private. Every tour is exclusively for you and your group. That means no strangers, no fixed pace, and complete freedom to shape the day around your interests.
How many people can join a private tour?
There’s no limit to the number of participants. Whether you’re traveling solo, as a couple, with family, or a larger group of friends, your tour will be fully customized to your group’s size and dynamic.
Who will be guiding the tour?
I personally guide all tours. With years of experience and a passion for Berlin’s history and culture, I’m here to make your visit insightful, personal, and unforgettable. You can read what other travelers have said on the Reviews page.
Can we speak before the tour?
Absolutely. I encourage it! I’d love to hear about your interests, answer any questions, and help you prepare for the tour. You can contact me via phone, WhatsApp, email, or through the website’s contact form — whatever works best for you.
How long are the tours?
Most tours last 5 to 6 hours, offering an in-depth look at the city’s highlights and hidden gems. I also offer shorter 3.5-hour tours, and I’m happy to adapt the duration to your schedule — from quick 2-hour walks to full-day explorations.
Can I combine themes from different tours?
Yes — that’s one of the biggest benefits of a private tour. You can mix topics like Jewish history, Cold War Berlin, and local food culture into one customized itinerary. I’ll help you design a tour that reflects your unique interests.
Are the tours suitable for children, seniors, or people with special needs?
Yes. I adjust each tour based on the needs of the group. For children, I offer age-appropriate content. For seniors or guests with limited mobility, I adapt the pace and include breaks. I also aim to make tours accessible for wheelchairs and visitors with hearing or visual impairments. Please let me know in advance about any specific needs so I can prepare accordingly.
What happens if it rains or snows?
Berlin is beautiful in any season! Tours usually go ahead even in less-than-ideal weather. I’ll adjust the itinerary to include more indoor stops if needed and recommend what to wear. If conditions are extreme, we can discuss rescheduling or changing plans together.
How do we get around during the tour?
Most tours combine walking with Berlin’s excellent public transportation system — the best way to see the city like a local and access places tour buses can’t reach. Taxis can also be used if needed. I’ll assist with purchasing tickets or arrange them in advance if you prefer.
How do I buy public transportation tickets?
Berlin’s public transport is simple and reliable. I recommend daily or multi-day passes for unlimited travel. If you haven’t already purchased tickets, I’ll help you get them at the start of the tour — or arrange them for you ahead of time.
Can I make special requests during the tour?
Absolutely — and I encourage it! Want to visit a specific site, dive into a niche topic, stop at a café, or explore a favorite museum? Let me know, and I’ll happily incorporate it. The more I understand your interests, the more personal and meaningful your Berlin tour will be.
How do I book a tour?
Booking is easy. Simply reach out via the contact form, email, phone, or WhatsApp. I’ll respond promptly and help you choose — or customize — the perfect tour for your visit.
Are the tours available in English?
Yes — all tours are available in fluent English. If your group includes speakers of other languages, I can provide bilingual explanations to ensure everyone feels included and engaged.
