About this tour
This session stays in Tiergarten early in the morning, from a quiet pond to a shaded avenue of mature trees. You see waterfowl nesting on the water through spring and summer. The session finishes on the avenue, much of it replanted after wartime damage and fuel shortages stripped the park bare.
We meet before the park gets busy, so the sound stays calm throughout. I walk slowly and answer questions as they come about the park's planting and its wartime history. Afterwards I send a short note on what we saw.
This suits anyone who prefers a calmer, greener side of central Berlin. It also works well paired with the Victory Column session for a fuller park visit.
Included
- Live video walk with a local guide
- Questions to your guide all the way
- A short list of places to visit later
Not included

The guide joins the video call, checks the picture and sound with you, and gives you a quick sense of Berlin before heading out.

A quiet pond 15 min
The camera settles on one of the park's smaller ponds early in the morning, and I point out the waterfowl that nest here through spring and summer.
-
An avenue of old trees 15 min
We walk a shaded avenue of mature trees, and I explain how much of the original planting had to be replaced after wartime damage and fuel shortages.
-
Your questions 7 min
Time to ask anything about Berlin: prices, safety, food, or whatever you are curious about.
-
A short list to keep 3 min
Before you go, the guide sums up with a few things worth remembering: a dish to try: Döner kebab and Kreuzberg, worth a slower look.
