The Principal Sightseeing tours will take you to destinations in and around central Berlin (Mitte), we use limousines or, balloon for aerial views, and, for the physically ambitious ones, get you good bikes – the grandiose monuments and streets in the heart of the old Berlin.

We show you the historical centre from Alexanderplatz to the Brandenburg Gate, and make you aware of fascinating juxtapositions of old and new buildings almost opposing each other, allowing unique photo shoots.

Backround on West Berlin
