Tour Berlin’s government quarter from the Futurium to the Reichstag, with stories of the Wall, modern architecture, politics, and photo stops.
“We were able to book this tour very last minute and glad we did so. The tour takes you from the Brandenburg Gate, through the area around the Reichstag that houses the representatives and different ministries and then allows you access to the "Plenarsaal", the room where the German Bundestag meets. The grand finale of the tour was the hike up the glass dome of the Reichstag. Our tour guide was phenomenal and the information was well presented and fascinating. I had booked the tour in German, so I can't speak for the English speaking guides, but the content presented and the price makes this an experience you don't want…”

“Firstly, we booked this tour in English but it was cancelled a few days beforehand, therefore we had to re-book it in German as we really wanted to go into the Reichstag building. We had to agree via email that we accepted no translation would be available. However, our guide Tobias translated everything in a brief summary which we didn’t expect. He asked us if we wanted to go into the plenary chamber for the 45min German presentation. Even though we wouldn’t understand it, we wanted to go inside for the experience. He authorised it with a staff member that we could leave after 10mins if we’d had enough. This…”
