My German is only intermediate but I was able to understand and enjoy the tour fine. The guide kindly checked with me from time to time to make sure I understood. The history she shared was wonderful and we got to see beautiful courtyards and architecture that I wouldn’t have found otherwise. I highly recommend the tour! Just remember it is in German only.

We had just taken the Charité tour on Friday so when we strolled up for this one and saw the same tour guide, we knew we were in for another treat. Susanne is such a dynamic presenter and it's crazy how much information she knows and delivers. This is one of the coolest parts of the city so a little behind-the-scenes is worth seeing!
