Berlin Berlin walks tours
Posted: Sun May 11, 2008 04:20 PM UTC
I am not the kind of person that likes organised excursions, but I normally enjoy the tour walks. I had been reading a couple of external links of companies that organise them and we may take one (the stadard one) on the first day to give us an idea of the city by walking. I have found it in Spanish at insidetours.(If anybody does know any other company that does in Spanish please let me know!)

But as John Le Carre early books fan, I had always dream in visiting all that places one day (I know, it is not the same LOL)so I looked for more specific tours, but they are all in English. Do you know any company that does them in other languages? (I do not have problems with the english ones, but I prefer if possible in my mother tongue)

thanks in advance

Here are some links but I have no idea how good the walks are, and if it is what you really want:

http://www.see-berlin.de/esp.htm
http://www.berlin-city-tour.com/rundgang.php

(I would surely not pay 113 Euro for walking 2.5 hours...)

The "offer" a free tour. And this tour was the best tour I ever had in all cities I've ever been. Really great, maybe because the tour is free and the guides love the city so much.....

For sure a tip is expected....for "free tours"...Good luck in your quest....if all else fails and you do need to resort to an English speaking tour...I thought the guides from "Berlin Walks" that were working the two days[and two different tours]I used they're services did a great job,they were both personable,professional, and extremely knowledgeable!
Have fun in Berlin!!
