Start your private Berlin tour by meeting your guide near the main entrance to the TV Tower in Alexanderplatz and skip the long line to the 360-degree viewing platform.

When you’re back on the ground, you’ll receive a 30-minute orientation session on your Segway, a self-balancing motorized device that’s designed to operate in any pedestrian environment. Then, head off to see some of the most fascinating sights of the city with your guide, stopping often to take photos, hear anecdotes and discuss Berlin’s unique history as well as present-day culture.
