When visiting Berlin it can be quite difficult to discover all of its wonderful sights by yourself. Just imagine someone from Berlin coming to London. Sure they know to visit the London Eye and Big Ben, but without a fellow Londoner showing them the awesome places which are hard to discover, they will truly miss out on the experience they wanted.
