Free Walking Tour is a Berlin-based walking tour operator offering a range of guided city experiences across Berlin, Leipzig and Dresden. The company runs public, theme-focused and private tours led by local guides who present historical context, cultural highlights and neighborhood insight. Free Walking Tour’s public offerings include themed Berlin walks such as the Third Reich Tour (Nazism and WWII), the Jewish Tour, the Communist Tour (The Wall and the Cold War), an Alternative Kreuzberg tour, a German-language Berlin tour, and seasonal experiences like the Christmas Markets Tour.
Outside Berlin, Free Walking Tour presents Free Walking Tour Leipzig and two Dresden options: a Free Tour Dresden described as a two-hour, pay-what-you-feel walking experience, and a Private Tour Dresden for customized visits. Private Tour Berlin is also available for tailored, small-group exploration. One city-specific option listed is the Free LGBTIQ* Bike Tour Berlin.
Several tours emphasize small-group settings; the Jewish Tour notes a maximum of 12 participants. Historical tours focus on documented events, landmarks and memorial sites to provide fact-based narratives about subjects like Nazism, the Holocaust, and Cold War division. Guides cite established monuments, archives and public memorials as tour focal points.
Free Walking Tour positions itself as accessible to diverse audiences by offering both free, pay-what-you-feel formats and private paid options. Operating in Berlin with activities also in Leipzig and Dresden, the organization presents factual, locally grounded tours for visitors seeking history, culture and neighborhood perspectives.
