Your tour begins as you board a chartered train for an approximately 2.5 hours ride to Berlin. Upon arriving, you'll meet your local guide and board your motor coach for a comprehensive city drive. You'll visit the Allied Museum commemorating the Allied presence in Berlin, stopping to take photos at such sights as one of the few surviving pieces of the Berlin Wall, and the famous Brandenburg Gate. You'll also snap a photo or two at Bebelplatz, the square where the burgeoning Nazi Party held its infamous book burning. Next is a pass-by of the WWII Memorial. You'll continue to the Brandenburg Gate and Reichstag and Checkpoint Charlie , and make your way to West Berlin. Shopping at Kurfurstendamm, Germany's most famous shopping boulevard, and a luncheon round out this day-long tour.
