“Led by individuals with close connections to Berlin’s Jewish community, these tours of Jewish Berlin’s past and present are warm and insightful. I give them my highest recommendation.”
Welcome to Humboldt Tours Berlin!
We create bespoke, private tours in Berlin and beyond for culturally curious guests.
Join our expert local guides as they share the stories of our hometown in an insightful, sensitive, and sustainable way. On all our tours, we unravel Berlin’s complex past to help you understand the unique character of our country, our city, and its residents.
Whether you choose one of our suggested itineraries or create your own, you can be sure we’ll go beyond the facts and figures to bring history to life, stimulate discussion, and deepen your understanding of the world. You’ll hear thought-provoking insights and first-hand personal stories that only a local can provide.
We also offer a variety of single-day and multi-day tours in neighbouring cities and countries, including Potsdam, Dresden, Hamburg, Prague, and Vienna.
Our Commitment to Sustainability
As tour guides and travelers ourselves, we believe the tourism industry has a responsibility to the planet. A responsibility to minimize our carbon footprint, to raise awareness of social justice issues, and to reduce resource consumption.
That’s why we’re proud to be a partner with Visit Berlin, with a shared commitment to meeting the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals. Together, we are ensuring that travel and tourism within Germany, and beyond, is sustainable for local communities and the environment.
Our own tours are all locally designed and led, and respectful of local people and neighborhoods. We hope that through our work with Visit Berlin, we can inspire other tourism organizations to lead responsibly and follow their own sustainable paths.

“Tolle Stadtführung in Berlin-Kreuzberg – viele Infos, sehr unterhaltsam und keine Minute langweilig. Unsere zwei Tourguides sind eine absolute Frohnatur und machen ihre Sache wirklich ausgezeichnet. Besonders die abwechslungsreiche und kulinarische Reise durch 3 verschiedene Restaurants hat uns extremst gut gefallen. Alle 25 Teilnehmer waren begeistert. Danke nochmals für die gute Betreuung!“
