Modern Berlin Private Walking Tour: Diverse, Vibrant and Exciting German Capital
The mayor himself memorably labelled the city 'poor but sexy'.

If you want to get a sense of the true face of the city today, beyond the tourist trail, then come along on a tour of four very different Berlin neighborhoods.
You will discover a city where gentrification is rife, alternative culture is thriving, immigration and assimilation are adding diversity and corporate culture is continually transforming the urban landscape.
