Highlights
  • Brandenburg Gate - Until modern times it was just a city gate - expanded in the familiar way shortly after the French. Revolution. Here the Elector rode west from the castle to his private hunting area, the zoo. The original gate of peace, however, took on a completely different meaning after the Napoleonic occupation around 1805: Napoleon had the Quadriga, the four-horse carriage, transported to Paris with the goddess of peace. After the victory of the Allies over France, she came back in a great triumphal procession - as a return carriage. Since then crowned with an eagle with a cross in its claws as a sign of victory. - During the division of the city, the war-torn environment was cleared away and remains (Hotel Adlon) were blown up - and suddenly the gate stood alone, inaccessible from the west through the wall, separated from the east by fences and barriers. It was not until the turning point, the fall of the wall, that the gate became a symbol again - for the German. reunion

There is no better way to get to know Berlin! - Gunter is a phenomenal tour guide. From planning the tour to communication on the day to the actual tour, everything was five stars! Our tour was the furthest thing away from a dry sightseeing mission. Gunter sprinkled in his wonderful humor and hidden Berlin history gems throughout our tour! I dare say few people are as knowledgeable about Berlin and what it has to offer as Gunter is. Having lived previously in Berlin, I discovered so many new things about the city and it’s history. If you would like to truly get a glimpse into Berlin’s history, it’s architecture and it’s spirit. There is no better way to do that, than to go on a drive with Gunter.
