Do I need to register to visit the Reichstag dome?

Yes. The Bundestag only admits registered visitors. On our Reichstag tour we register your group, so we need every guest's full name and date of birth when you book. Guests aged 16 and over must bring a passport or national ID card.

Is the Sachsenhausen tour suitable for children?

The memorial advises that its exhibitions are not suitable for children under 12 and recommends visits from age 14. We do not take children under 12 on this tour.

Which public transport ticket do I need?

Tours in the centre need no ticket. For Sachsenhausen and Potsdam, buy a Berlin day ticket for zones ABC before you meet your guide.

Which languages do your guides speak?

Our Berlin guides lead tours in English or German. On the Spree cruise a Helios guide comes along too, and the boat adds German commentary and a free audio guide in English and other languages.

Our most recommended things to do in Berlin

Berlin is a city you understand best on foot. Within a short walk of the Brandenburg Gate you find the Reichstag, the Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe, the Topography of Terror and Checkpoint Charlie, and our guides connect them into one story, from the Nazi years to the fall of the Wall. You can also go inside the Reichstag and up to its glass dome, see Museum Island and the government district from a boat on the Spree, or taste currywurst, döner and German pastry on a food walk through the centre.

Two trips take you beyond the city by public transport. Sachsenhausen, in Oranienburg to the north, is a former concentration camp and now a memorial; the visit is serious, and the memorial advises against bringing children under 12. Potsdam, to the south-west, is the town of the Prussian kings, with Sanssouci Palace and its park. If you would rather set your own route, a private walk starts from your hotel lobby at a time you choose.

Our own guides lead every walk in English or German. For the Reichstag the Bundestag requires each guest's full name and date of birth in advance and photo ID on the day. For the trips outside the city you buy a public transport day ticket for zones ABC. Prices shown are estimates and are confirmed with your booking.
