Private Berlin Christmas Walking Tour

Christmas markets are popular all over Europe – it’s fun to roam the streets in different cities, sampling the holiday treats and enjoying Christmas music and traditions that differ in each location.  A private Berlin Christmas walking tour can be a much more enriching experience.  You’ll begin at the Brandenburg Gate and continue to the Berlin Wall and Checkpoint Charlie where families from East and West Germany were allowed to cross for one day only to celebrate Christmas together. Learn how differently Christmas was observed on each side of the Wall.  Further along at the 12th century Gendarmenmarkt, you’ll discover street performers, artists, craftsmen and other artisans displaying their wares.  And you won’t go hungry – street vendors as well as sit down restaurants offer up traditional German Christmas goodies like currywurst, kartoffelpuffer (potato pancakes), candied almonds, and raclette (melted cheese served on…..just about anything.  Comfortable shoes and loose belts are a requirement for this private tour!
