What's this trip about?

    Experience Germany's capital like never before with this extraordinary vacation package where you'll be immersed in the authentic heart of Berlin and unearth its complicated past with two exclusive private tours. This is an opportunity to explore Berlin's tucked-away historical sites and forgotten landmarks, allowing you to gain insights into the city's intricate history as you stand where pivotal moments unfolded. First you will enjoy an included journey through Berlin's World War II history with a half-day walking tour. With the expertise of a knowledgeable private guide, you'll visit pivotal historical locations including the Berlin Wall, Checkpoint Charlie, and the iconic Brandenburg Gate. With your private guide, you will unravel the city's connection to the Holocaust and Hitler's wartime activities, uncovering both tragic horrors and remarkable acts of heroism. Your second included tour will be a private day trip from Berlin to the Sachsenhausen Concentration Camp. Here you will learn about the somber history of one of the most notorious Nazi concentration camps that served as both a training ground for camp personnel and a site for horrifying experiments. Following this emotionally charged tour, you will have the opportunity to pay your respects at the National Memorial erected within the camp in 1961. These meticulously crafted tours are designed to offer a glimpse into the city's clandestine history, concealed treasures, and lesser-known facets. During your free time, you'll be able to enjoy the lighter side of Berlin like relaxing amidst nature in Tiergarten, indulging at one of the city's iconic beer gardens, marveling at city views from atop Berlin TV Tower and strolling along Karl-Marx-Allee.
