This 3-hour private tour with a vehicle is specifically designed for wheelchair users and those with mobility problems. It is a condensed version of our ‘Best of Berlin’ tour and is the best way to see all of the German capital’s essential landmarks.
Predominantly focusing on Berlin’s historical city center, Mitte, thematically the tour covers Prussia, Imperial Germany, Nazism, and the Cold War – painting the bigger picture to help you understand how different periods of Berlin’s past fit together, and how they affect the city today.
Your professional, local guide and driver will meet you at your hotel with a vehicle specially equipped for use in conjunction with wheelchairs and mobility scooters. You will then receive a crash course in Berlin’s history and the inside track on one of the most exciting cities the planet.
See the Reichstag, burned down after Hitler’s rise to power and now a bold symbol of modern German democracy, and pass through the Brandenburg Gate, Berlin’s most iconic landmark. Explore remnants of the Berlin Wall, and cross the border at Checkpoint Charlie, the frontier of the Cold War. Then journey through the iconic concrete stelae of the Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe and learn about the tragedy of the holocaust.
You will head to the heart of the Museum Island, the 19th century city’s architectural epicentre, and a UNESCO world heritage site. Time will also be taken to explore the old Nazi government quarter to see some remaining examples of Nazi architecture, the former SS and Gestapo Headquarters, and the site of Hitler’s Bunker – where history’s most notorious criminal committed suicide.
