Walking tours of Berlin are highly recommended. Despite the wall being gone
for nearly ten years, Berlin still has a piecemeal feel about it, so there's
no need to feel embarassed about handing yourself over to a well-informed
guide who can navigate for you. Despite the rapid changes bringing an unfair
amount of scaffolding and gaping contruction holes, Berlin also has hidden
squares, wide boulevards, and lots of leafy green. So get off that bus and
into walking! All tours run daily, but meeting times and frequency of tours
are subject to change so they are not listed here. Give the operators a
ring beforehand or pick up a brochure at the tourist office.

For anyone who wants to do more than scratch the surface of Berlin,
this tour is a must. For seven hours or more Terry or one of his trusted
henchmen will satisfy your information cravings, filling in enough
German history so even the most backward high-school drop-out can
start to understand what makes Berlin Berlin. Terry lived through
many of the events he describes while stationed in Berlin with the
British Navy and diplomatic service, and his first hand personal experience
makes this tour a particularly worthwhile one.
Tours run every day, whatever the weather. Tickets are available at
the Circus, Clubhouse and Odyssey hostels, or meet at 10:30 or 13:00
outside the New Synagogue (10:30 only in winter).
