We loved Berlin Historical Walks! Sean was an exceptional guide whose modus operandi was not to take pictures of everything without cause, but to teach us what Berlin had to say. We loved finding out the degree to which Berlin is a city of moving chess pieces. Definitely would book again if I were to do it over!
Sean is a professional historian. He knows every courtyard in Berlin. The rout was surprisingly interesting. I live in Berlin, but we visited some places, I never knew about. Sean feels Berlin. He told us about contradictory and irony of this city, which, by all means, accompanied the story Berlin all the time of its existence. In 4 hours we were in different periods and eras of the history. We had started in 20 century, but then we found ourselves even in Babylon. Moreover, Sean is an English native speaker and his language is very clean and proper. So it would also be good to take this tour and practise your English.
I have to thank Sean Stewart , the guide, for this amazing tour of Berlin. He first asked me if I have visited before the city and what I would like to see. Taking into consideration that I have saw the most iconic places in Berlin during my previous trip, I asked for an alternative walk tour. We covered all important stages: medieval / imperial / 3rd Reich and communist era. Sean is a great story teller so I have traveled in time at each point of interest, discovering the feeling of each era. He has an in-depth knowledge of Berlin and Germany’s history that helped me understand better what happened and why. To give you a glint of what is to be seen I can tell you that I have saw one water fountain used in WWII, oldest bar still in use in Berlin and a point of view where, if you turn 360 degrees, you can see buildings of imperial, nazi and communist Berlin. I felt great to discover the “Berlin of contradiction” – Sean’s expression.
Sean är en otroligt duktig historiker och guide. Det blandas nytt och gammalt alltid med en liten tvist. Vill man veta mer om Berlin är detta rätt person att bli guidad av. vi kommer tillbaka och då blir det en annan sida av stan. Thank you Sean for today. :D / Stina and Anton
