What To Expect
Brandenburg Gate
The Brandenburg Gate is a monument in Berlin that was built by Frederick William II in the 18th century. It was originally located on the site of a former city gate. It is in the western part of Berlin, close to Mitte, and is at the intersection of Ebertstrae and Unter den Linden. The main intersection between the Pariser Platz and the Reichstag building is the gate. The Brandenburg Gate was often a site of major historical events throughout its existence. Today, it is considered a symbol of European unity and peace.
Reichstag Building
The Reichstag is a historic building in Berlin. It houses the Bundestag, Germany's lower house of parliament. The Reichstag was built to house the Imperial Diet, which was the German Empire's political body. It was opened in 1894, and it remained there until 1933 when it was destroyed by fire. Following the Second World War, it was badly damaged. It was then completely restored in 1999.

5.00Mark, our knowledgable and enthusiastic guide, was the best part of the tour. His passion for the subject brought the experience to life. Following an introductory set-up, he was able to walk the group through the key locations, explaining the significance of each in an engaging manner. It helped that is was a beautiful day for a walk in Berlin. I would recommend the tour for anyone interested in history, although children under fourteen may find it less interesting.
