Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, it goes deeper than a general overview tour.
That's intentional. Architect Peter Eisenman designed the site with no single prescribed path or viewpoint, so each visitor moves through the 2,711 slabs differently — the disorientation is part of the design, not an oversight.

About This Tour

Visit The Reichstag and the Holocaust Memorial, listening to stories from your guide that you wouldn't otherwise hear, without waiting on other travelers. First-time visitors and history buffs alike get a private half-day tour of Berlin's most important historical destinations, including the Reichstag and the Holocaust Memorial.

The Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe is only a few minutes' walk from the Brandenburg Gate, and most first-time visitors are unprepared for how disorienting it actually feels. Architect Peter Eisenman designed it as 2,711 grey concrete slabs rising and falling across a sloped field — some ankle-high, others two storeys overhead — with no map, no inscriptions, and deliberately no single vantage point from which the whole thing makes sense. It took roughly six years of public debate before the memorial opened in 2005, and that debate — about how, or even whether, a nation should physically memorialize the murder of six million of its own citizens — is as much a part of the site as the slabs themselves.

Below ground, the Ort der Information (Information Centre) is where the abstraction gives way to specifics: it documents roughly three million individually identified Jewish victims, drawing on records from Yad Vashem, alongside family letters and photographs. Your guide can walk you through at whatever pace feels right — lingering on particular stories, or moving more quickly — since this is a private tour with no other travelers to keep pace with.

The Reichstag carries its own difficult history. It was gutted by fire in February 1933, just a month after Hitler became Chancellor, and the Nazis used the blaze as a pretext to seize emergency powers. After reunification, British architect Norman Foster rebuilt the building with a new glass dome, completed in 1999, specifically so visitors could look down into the debating chamber below — a literal piece of transparency in German democracy, standing on the same site where that transparency was once dismantled.
