Itinerary

Arrive in Berlin

Berlin

Welcome to beautiful Berlin! Begin with a private walking tour of the city, seeing the impressive Reichstag with its famous dome, as well as the nearby Brandenburg Gate.

This houses one of the world’s most important collections of Greek and Roman art, including the incredible Pergamon Altar (180–160 BC), long considered a masterpiece of Hellenistic art. 

The next day visit Potsdam and Wannsee. Frederick II, the ruler of Berlin and Prussia from 1740 to 1786, built Potsdam to become his favourite abode. See Glienicke Bridge, known as “The Bridge of Spies” and the Sanssouci Gardens. Continue to the picturesque lake town of Wannsee to enjoy scenic views and learn about the deep history of Germany during the Second World War.

The GHardy team planned the perfect family vacation to Italy for us! The hotels, private tours and excursions were all exceptional and exactly what we were hoping for! We didn’t have to stress over anything - we just showed up and there was always someone to meet us. We also took great comfort knowing if any issue did arise, the G/Hardy Tours team, as well as a 24/7 emergency contact on the ground in Italy were always a message or call away.

Our family vacation to Greece, which included Athens, Crete, Santorini and Mykonos, was unforgettable! The accommodations were lovely and centrally located to maximize our time at all of the hot spot destinations. Our private guides were very informative with all of the history and culture that Greece has to offer. Various transportation needs were met through planes, boats and private transfers which made travel effortless from one destination to the next. Thank you GHardy Tours for putting together a remarkable experience for the whole family to enjoy and providing memories to last a lifetime.
