What it costs

Berlin tour price: what 57 tours cost, band by band

A Berlin tour price on this site starts at $20 for a guided walk of two to four hours from the Brandenburg Gate to Museum Island, 4.9 across 6,703 reviews, and ends at $761 for a private car with a local guide. The top pick, a one-hour Spree boat with an audio guide, is $25: it has the most reviews of the sightseeing tours, 18,022, which is why it leads the page although the walk costs less. The cheapest listing of any kind is the $16 DDR Museum entry ticket. Eighteen of the 57 listings cost under $50; only 15 cost $200 or more.

Quick answer

The short answer. Under $50 buys the boats, the hop-on hop-off buses, the shared walks and the main entry tickets. $50–100 buys a Trabant drive or a half-day in Potsdam. From $100 the rickshaws, food tours and private guides begin. Above $200 the choice thins out: 7 listings at $200–300, 4 at $300–500 and 4 at $500 and up.

The thin end

Above $200 the list is short: 15 of 57 listings

Honest count: 7 + 4 + 4 listings from $200 up.

Most of what is compared here costs under $200: 42 of 57 listings. The three upper bands hold 7, 4 and 4. That is a small shelf, and it is better to know it before filtering by price: at $300–500 the choice is a private VW bus, two long walks and a Potsdam trip, and nothing else.

Two upper-band listings carry far more reviews than their neighbours. The government district walk is $279 for 75 to 90 minutes and has 8,481 reviews; the Kreuzberg food tour is $502 with 831. The figures shown are the starting prices from the live listings, and they do not say here whether that is one ticket or a whole group. Check the listing before comparing them with a per-person ticket.
