A private tour from the Brandenburg Gate to the roof terrace and the dome is $273 for an hour and a half.

Quick answer
The short answer. To get inside with a guide, book the $18 tour: chamber, dome and the government district in two and a half hours. To have the guide to yourselves, the private tour is $273. To sit down on the roof, lunch is $84 and dinner $144.
Inside or outside
Two tours go in, two listings feed you on the roof, one stays on the pavement.
Two listings describe going in with a guide. The $18 tour walks the parliament district and then visits the chamber and the dome, with history, architecture and politics as its subjects. The private tour at $273 starts at the Brandenburg Gate and ends on the roof terrace with the view from the dome, in an hour and a half.
Two listings are tables, not tours. Lunch at $84 is a reservation at the restaurant on the roof of the Reichstag building, three courses with the city below. Dinner at $144 is the evening version: an aperitif, four courses, a small water and a hot drink, with three hours reserved.
The fifth is a walk. The government district listing at $279 lasts 75 minutes to an hour and a half and describes admiring the exterior architecture of the Reichstag building. It has 8,481 reviews at 4.7; check the listing for what its price covers.
Every trip, current fare
The five listings, cheapest first, with cost per hour where the listing gives a fixed length. The government district walk quotes a range, so its per-hour column is a dash.

The $18 guided tour. Two and a half hours, 21,463 reviews at 4.7, and a likely-to-sell-out flag on the listing.

Is it worth it
No listing on this site has more reviews: 21,463 at 4.7. The next one, the one-hour city boat that is this site’s top pick, has 18,022 at 4.3 and costs $25.
At $18 the tour also costs less than the $20 the home page quotes as its from price. That figure is for city sightseeing tours; this is a visit to one building and the streets around it, which is why it is listed beside them and not among them.
The private tour costs $255 more and is an hour shorter. What the listing offers for that is the guide’s attention and a route that begins at the Brandenburg Gate, rated 4.8 against 4.7. For most visitors the $18 tour answers the question; the private one is for a party that wants its own pace.
The other famous view over Berlin is the TV Tower: a panorama from 203 metres on a $22 ticket.

The two restaurant listings are the only ones on this page that state a menu. Lunch, $84: a reservation and a three-course meal, an hour and a half, 896 reviews at 4.7. Dinner, $144: an aperitif, a four-course meal, a small water and one hot drink, three hours, 386 reviews at 4.7.
Dinner costs $60 more than lunch and buys a fourth course, the aperitif and twice the time at the table. Further drinks are not in either description, so count them as extra unless the listing says otherwise on your date.
Neither description mentions a guided visit to the chamber, and neither says whether a walk around the dome is part of the reservation. If the dome matters, read that line on the listing before you book, or pair the meal with the $18 tour: lunch and the tour together come to $102.
Eleven guided walks, including the government district and the $20 Discover Berlin walk, are on the walking page.

The $18 tour is flagged likely to sell out, so book it as soon as your date is fixed. The listing’s calendar shows the dates it still has. Whether the building admits visitors without a booking is not something these listings answer.
The data read for this page does not say. Each listing states what to bring; read that section before the day.
The guided tour with the chamber and the dome is $18. The private tour is $273, the rooftop lunch $84 and the rooftop dinner $144.
Two and a half hours for the $18 tour, including the walk through the parliament district. The private tour and the lunch are an hour and a half; dinner is three hours.
