The Government Quarter Tour
The tour focuses on the government buildings of the Capital, most of which have been built or renovated after the fall of the Berlin Wall. It begins at the most famous location in Berlin, the Pariser Platz where the French, the English and the American embassies all surround the Brandenburg Gate. On the other side of the Brandenburg Gate, towards the Spree River and just in front of the new ministries, we will make a stop at the Reichstag. After a complete renovation under the direction of Sir Norman Foster, the “new” Reichstag with its glass dome gives visitors an amazing view over Berlin and has become a symbol of German unity. Our tour will continue in the West of the city. Next stop, just in front of the Reichstag, is the new Chancellery. Passing through the Tiergarten, you will see the Schloss Bellevue, residence of the German President.

The Berlin Underworld Tour
This tour shows you the city from a very original and unknown perspective: the underground of Berlin. Not only the common facilities such as the subway and the drainage system are part of Berlin’s Underground but also Berlin‘s late 19th Century pneumatic pipe post system as well as an extensive bunker system. All of these elements played a part in the dramatic history of the German Capital in the 20th Century through WWII and the Cold War. This tour also shows how deep the impact of the Cold War and the Division of Berlin (1961–1989) in the Underground world has been: you will pass through the “nuclear blast-proof” bunker beneath Blochplatz, its white-washed walls, large metal doors and modern ventilation systems and enjoy an exhibition of the finds that the Berliner Underworld Association have retrieved during the work below ground.
