Excellent tour! Giles our guide was so knowledgeable. The walk was at a lovely gentle pace, Giles took time to tell stories, explain the history and context. Lots of time to take photos and ask questions. We stopped at places I’d otherwise have walked passed. A very worthwhile couple of hours.

Campbell was amazing on this tour - he explains history with ease and is very engaging to listen to. He showed us a ghost station, the Berlin Wall and the surrounding area and memorial and the death strip. Campbell brings history to life and is the best tour guide. You will not be disappointed with this tour. It was amazing value for money. We were in a small group of around 10 people.
