What a fantastic introduction to Berlin. Our guide, Irish Paul, kept the tour to our pace and tailored it to our interests. We finished the tour with a greater knowledge and understanding of prewar Berlin and the city we see today. Berlin is actually not attractive. It is grungy and graffitied. Paul took us through areas of the city that had such compelling history that we were able to see Berlin in a new light which put everything we saw into perspective. Highly recommended tour.
