Private Taxi Tour of Berlin East and West and Neighbourhood approx. 4-6h (opens in a new tab)

56 4 h – 6 h

In contrast to bus tours, on an individual taxi sightseeing tour you have the opportunity to stop almost everywhere - be it for a photo shoot, be it for a snack or a break, be it for a coffee. Or for a longer tour to take a closer look at an object or to have it explained to you (Berlin Cathedral, Hackesche Höfe, Brandenburg Gate, Gendarmenmarkt, Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial Church, KaDeWe are recommended, for example). According to your interests and wishes! And in contrast to a walking tour, you don't just see a tiny section of our city. So combine the best of both perspectives with a taxi tour, just like I've always done with friends and relatives. Here you can immerse yourself in Berlin districts (Kieze) such as Kreuzberg or Friedrichshain. And enjoy the luxury of being picked up personally from your accommodation in the S-Bahn-Ring. And all in a real Berlin luxury taxi SUV!

Sachsenhausen Concentration Camp: Private Day Trip from Berlin (opens in a new tab)

5 h 30 min

The Sachsenhausen concentration camp was built in 1936 by internees from other camps and was the first to be built under the New Chief of Police, the infamous SS Leader Heinrich Himmler. It was designed to be the standard for other camps – both in its escape-proof layout, and its abusive treatment of prisoners, with over 200,000 people imprisoned there between 1936-45. At first, prisoners included opponents of the Nazis, and later it received Jews, Sinti and Roma, homosexuals, and “anti-socials”. You will learn about the appalling treatment of prisoners, and after a very emotional tour, you will be able to pay your respects at the National Memorial created in 1961 inside the camp, before returning to Berlin.
