transport to and from Berlin

graded to your requirements.
* these tours are not recommended on Mondays; in all other cases, tours are available 7 days a week,
at a time to suit you!
Additional Tour Materials
On the Discover Berlin, Third Reich and Sachsenhausen tours, we can provide a tour worksheet for any
pre-booked tour (at a cost of € 50 per group). We can let you review a copy of the relevant worksheet well in advance
of the tour, and are pleased to modify it to fit in with your syllabus. The worksheets work best for 13-16 year olds;
they encourage the students to listen out for nuggets of information given by the guide AND to pick up visual clues
while the tour is in progress.
Pre-tour preparation
As you know, the more you prepare your students for a trip abroad – the more successful it will be!
In the Visitor Info part of our website, we provide a mass of information to help you plan your visit.
Once you are in Berlin, our guides will also supply your students with a free Berlin Walks' map, which also
includes lots of useful information in English.
Practical assistance for educators who plan independent tours
We understand the amount of planning that has to go into pre-tour preparation; we know what the safety
issues are and how you have to take them into consideration. If you visit Berlin on a planning trip and are
thinking of booking a tour with us, join a Berlin Walks' regular tour as our guest (you’ll appreciate this only
applies to teachers or professors who have notified our office in advance!).
"Thank you and your tour guides for yet another excellent series of tours around Berlin. Our children and staff thoroughly enjoyed the tours, and are still quoting facts given to them by your guides. Please especially thank Sarah for her 3 days hard work with us. Also please thank Henry for his input - the group he showed around were so impressed with him that he has become a bit of a cult figure - they insisted on being called 'Henry's group' for the rest of the week! We are looking forwards to doing it all again next year!"
Catherine Old, Cornwallis School, UK
