I knew several people who had done the same excursion and it was highly recommended. The trip was definitely worth it! A great source of information and a wonderful pace. My guide Roberto was excellent!

Brendan was a fantastic guide. He was clearly highly-knowledgeable and enthusiastic about the subject matter of the tour. He took his time and clearly explained the human experience of Berliners during the Cold War. Brendan was funny, charismatic, and detailed without being stuffy. We would certainly come back for another tour with Brendan.

Alex is an amazing and the most thorough 'professional' guide! Lovely time getting to know the city's teeny-tiny trivia as well of the lesser known historical facts. Throw you may any questions at him and he knows them all :) All the while maintaining a loverly attitude & demeanour! The whole staff is very friendly - thoroughly enjoyed and worth the money! Would recommend doing this on day one of your tour so you can get to know Berlin better

Our tour was guided by Ally. He was fantastic - very articulate, well informed on Germany and its history. He also had some photos to match the stories he shared and monuments we visited. We covered around 18km over about 3hrs and it was flat and leisurely pace. Would highly recommend this tour.
