Berlin guide or tour
 
Can someone recommend a guide in Berlin or know of a city bus tour?

Berlin Walks is a company that offers tours of Berlin that combine walking and public transport (which is excellent there). A great way to ward off jet lag if it's your first day, and all of the guides are native English speakers. There are several different regularly scheduled tours, and they can also arrange private tours.<BR><BR>You can check them out on line at:<BR><BR>http://www.berlinwalks.com/

I'm just back from Berlin. Our hotel concierge set us up with a Berlin bus tour, 3 hours, our first day. I slept through most of it, my husband enjoyed it though. The guide spoke a lot of German, minimal English.

You can catch the bus tour right by the large ruined church (sorry I forget the name I am getting senile I guess)downtown if you are staying close to there. Open top busses when weather is good, our guide asked for show of hands for languages, we were half/half English and German speakers so she did the tour in both languages and did great job. 3 hours or so and worth it for a quick overview. I enjoyed it
