Day 3 | Berlin
It’s time for a different type of city tour! On a guided walking tour, you will see much more of Berlin than the typical tourist sights. Hear from people who themselves have a history of migration and learn about the diversity of identities and lifestyles in Berlin today. Afterwards continue to tour Berlin. Ride the S-Bahn from Bahnhof Zoo to Alexanderplatz. Explore the historic streets of Mitte and modern Potsdamer Platz. Visit Potsdam and explore the Schloss Sanssouci palace and garden.

Immerse yourself in the German culture by experiencing everyday life with your host family! It’s your opportunity to use your language skills in real-life situations and make new friends.
Day 9 | Berlin
You won’t want to leave, but it’s time to bid your host family farewell and head back to the capital. Don’t miss the 360-degree view from the glass dome of the Reichstag. Reflect on your experiences with your Mitreisenden at your Xperitas farewell dinner.

Say "Auf Wiedersehen" to Germany as you return to the United States.
