ℹ️ ⚠️ ATTENTION - booking rules
The tour is fit for pets, but one site, the Holocaust Memorial, is only allowed to walk around (so you see it, but not walk through). Please have that in mind.
Please note that our free tours are designed for individual travelers and small private groups only. Hence, we do not accept parties of 8 or more people on regular free tours and guides have the right to deny participation to such groups. If you travel in a party of 8 or more please book a private tour in advance.
If you show up at the meeting point with the bigger group our guide will ask you for the payment (12 eur/person) before the tour or cancel your reservation on the spot. To confirm your reservation please arrive 10 minutes before starting. We can not guarantee participation when you will be late.
Please note that multiply bookings (under different names) for 7 people who belong to one group will still be treated as one organized group and the guide has the right to deny participation to such parties.
This policy is implied in the best interest of our individual visitors.
Please respect our rules.
Attention: On Thursday evening, we go to a venue for international street food.
Kreuzberg is a district in the central part of Berlin, known for its progressive and multicultural atmosphere, and more importantly for the Street Arts and Murals.
There are a significant numbers of immigrants from all around the world, also many activists, artists, and young people that work and live in Kreuzberg, and because of them, it has a great nightlife with many bars, clubs, and many other things. (wait for more!)
Besides, it's home to many international restaurants and bars, serving food and drink of every corner of the world!
You can find many food from Middle Eastern and Asian to Italian and Mexican, as well as many Vegan options.
But it's not fair to describe Kreuzberg just like that because it's got a rich history too! From the beginning of the 19th century to today, you can find a trace of many global crisis in Kreuzberg!
In our tour, we will walk through this district and see those historical memories as well as the cool vibe of Kreuzberg.
In our walking tour, we will visit:
- Urbanhafen
- Kottbusser Tor
- Engelbecken
- Treehouse at the wall
- Bethanien
- and many Street Art on our way
If you are ready for a journey into the history, don't doubt and book this free walking tour!
We can also have up to 2 breaks during our tour, and you will have time to buy and consume foods and drinks.
The history of Berlin can become a very complicated subject. The goal of this tour is to break down the basics of Berlin history. I want you to walk away from this tour with a basic understanding of this city, and a better understanding of Germany.
Some topics that we will cover:
-Prussia and the Prussians
-Friedrich the Great
-Nazi book burning
-The Berlin Wall
-The history of refugees in Berlin
-Hitlers bunker
-The Memorials to the victims of Nazism
-The best free museums in Berlin
-Cultural highlights of Berlin
I try to keep this tour under 2.5 hours, and I try to keep it under 30 participants (some companies have up to 50). This is a basic tour, but feel that there is something for everyone!
