Your tour includes a handy audio guide where you can learn about the city and attractions in one of nine languages for your convenience.

With its convenient stops and the option to hop on and off the red bus as you please, this city tour is a great option for those who want a little flexibility with planning their own itinerary.
Start off exploring Berlin's city sights by hopping on the red bus and head to the top to catch panoramic views of the city, including the iconic architecture of the building developments on the fourth stop in the Potsdamer Platz public square--once a formerly desolate area destroyed during World War I. If you're into shopping, then you'll want to hop off the first stop at Tauentzienstrasse--a major street in Berlin that runs between the popular squares of Breitscheidplatz and Wittenbergplatz. Just down the street on the second stop, you'll find a variety of shopping destinations like the popular KaDeWe department store. Get all your shopping down in one central location when you hop off on the eighth stop at the Alexa Centre--a large shopping mall that is five stories tall and houses everything from major fashion retailers to supermarkets.
Take a step back into time and indulge in German history with a visit to the Wall when you get off the bus on the fourth stop. For almost 30 years, the guarded Berlin Wall divided East Germany, East Berlin, and West Berlin. Indulge further into German culture and history with a stop to gaze on the architecture of German and French churches near Gendarmenmarkt when you hop off the sixth stop. Here, you'll also find a statue of Frederich Schiller--a prominent German poet and playwright known for his works Wilhem Tell and The Robbers. Your tour even brings you to the Red City Hall and the iconic TV Tower with Germany's highest observation platform accessible to the public, which doubles as a tourist attraction and broadcasting tower.
With up to 25 stops and the flexibility to visit as many as you want within 24 hours, this flexible tour offers the convenience you need to plan your schedule to your preference. Explore all the city highlights of Berlin and book your city tour today for an unforgettable time in Berlin!
