Tour & Activity Scams in Berlin

Fake Tour Guide at Holocaust Memorial

Unofficial "guides" position themselves at the entrance of the Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe on Cora-Berliner-Straße and offer to lead private tours for a fee. These individuals have no official accreditation and often provide historically inaccurate information. The official memorial and its underground Information Centre are free to enter and staffed by trained personnel. Agreeing to a paid guide here is both unnecessary and likely to result in a poor experience.
