Top Experiences in Kurfürstendamm (Ku'damm)

Hop-on / hop-off through Berlin, explore Berlin's landmarks as you please. From the former West Berlin center Kurfürstendamm to KaDeWE, the messages follow. Potsdamer Platz and Checkpoint Charlie are part of the former inner German border, arriving in the eastern part of Berlin we reach the Gendarmenmarkt and shortly afterwards the center of the eastern part of the city, Alexanderplatz with the Red Town Hall, Neptune Fountain and the TV tower. Now it is getting really historic again: Unter den Linden offers the cathedral, the Berlin City Palace, the State Opera and the Humboldt University. Immediately after the Holocaust Memorial, we reach West Berlin again with the Brandenburg Gate and the Reichstag, the modern main station and the Victory Column are of course also there. Then we slowly reach the start of the tour again, but first stop at the Zoological Garden or Aquarium Berlin.

Stop No. 1 Café Kranzler, Kurfürstendamm 24, 10719 Berlin

In contrast to bus tours, on an individual taxi sightseeing tour you have the opportunity to stop almost everywhere - be it for a photo shoot, be it for a snack or a break, be it for a coffee. Or for a longer tour to take a closer look at an object or to have it explained to you (Berlin Cathedral, Hackesche Höfe, Brandenburg Gate, Gendarmenmarkt, Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial Church, KaDeWe are recommended, for example). According to your interests and wishes! And in contrast to a walking tour, you don't just see a tiny section of our city. So combine the best of both perspectives with a taxi tour, just like I've always done with friends and relatives. Here you can immerse yourself in Berlin districts (Kieze) such as Kreuzberg or Friedrichshain. And enjoy the luxury of being picked up personally from your accommodation in the S-Bahn-Ring. And all in a real Berlin luxury taxi SUV!

Discover Berlin's grandest boulevard, Tom Cruise's favourite sausage stand, Museum Island, the Reichstag, and the Jewish Memorial at your own pace with a self-guided GPS audio tour. Explore parts of the city you'd only heard of in the movies and history books with three audio tours by best-selling author Rory MacLean (Berlin: Imagine a City, Stalin's Nose, and Pravda Ha Ha).

Rory has known three Berlins: West Berlin where he made movies with David Bowie and Marlene Dietrich, East Berlin where he researched his first bestseller, and now the unified capital. Dive into his Berlin when you buy all three of his tours for the price of two!

The three routes include a tour of Kurfürstendamm - the capital's grandest boulevard; a tour of Museum Island; and a tour of Berlin's often tumultuous and endlessly fascinating history which unfolds in the city centre. All of which you can explore on your own schedule and at your own pace.

In contrast to bus trips, with an individual city tour you have the opportunity to stop almost everywhere - be it for a photo shoot, be it for a snack or break, be it for a coffee.

According to your interests and wishes! And unlike a walking tour, you don't just see a tiny part of our city. Here you can still immerse yourself in Berlin districts (Kieze) such as Kreuzberg or Friedrichshain. On this tour we have relaxed time even for extra destinations such as Charlottenburg Palace, Tempelhof Airport, Wall Memorial or the Soviet War Memorial in Treptow Harbour. And enjoy the luxury of being picked up personally from your accommodation in the S-Bahn ring. And all in a real Berlin luxury SUV!

Things are going high for me, or rather, everything is going haywire. Berlin nightlife, boy-boy, the world has something like that
not seen yet! We used to have an army, now we have great perversities! More vices and more! Colossal selection! Something's going on! You have to see it!” - so Klaus Mann wrote in Turning Point in 1953. It couldn't have been put more accurately.

Do you know Berlin was a divided city even before WWII?

Berlin during the Empire era (1871-1918) and the Weimar Republic (1919-1933) was marked by significant class conflict and division, particularly between the city's western and eastern parts.

In the empire era and industrialization, the western part of Berlin was home to the city's wealthy and influential classes. In contrast, the eastern part was more working-class and industrially focused.

You can find the trace of those conflicts in the most tragic incidents of 20th century, and also in our walking tour in Berlin!
