This was a really good walking tour that was full of history of Split. It is obvious the tour guide Toni is really passionate about this history of his city and gave a tour that was just enough to understand the culture and history of what we were viewing. Highly recommend, the tour flew and only complaint is that we could have done a longer tour. Glad we did it.

Absolutely brilliant tour. The itinerary is so well planned that the four hours fly by without ever feeling rushed. Our tour guide Yasmin is outstanding — funny, engaging, and perfectly timed in her delivery. Her explanations hit exactly the right depth: enough detail to feel enriched without ever becoming overwhelming. The coverage is impressively broad for a half‑day excursion. I’d definitely recommend this tour to anyone looking for a smart, well‑paced, and genuinely enjoyable experience.

Great tour!! So much to see and our guide did a wonderful job sharing so many historical stories and personal asides about what we were seeing. He also recommended and joined us for a delicious lunch where we had Doner Kebab. We really enjoyed both the food and the restaurant. Highly recommend

The tour was excellent, only that the tour guide should have wore a small loudspeaker so that participants around him could hear him well & enjoyed the narration. The people near him got all clear information. Another suggestion is that the tour guide also carry a colour banner as he moves around. Thank you.

This is was an excellent tour. The guide Raffaello was outstanding. He really personalised the tour and has a passion for Berlin and its history. It is well worth undertaking a tour of this nature and if possible asking for Raf. We did this as a team corporate event but this would suite any age or any group. Thanks Raf you were a champ.

Got a taxi from hotel to boat mooring as wasn’t sure of location. A bit dark getting from the road onto the boat. Needed to use torches on phone. We were a party of 6. Welcomed on board. Service was good. Food and drinks included were all OK. Hard to hear some of the recorded commentary due to conversations on other tables. Never the less a pleasant evening and pleased we booked the trip.

Visiting Sachsenhausen Concentration Camp was one of the most powerful and sobering experiences of my life. This is not a typical tourist attraction—it is a place of remembrance, reflection, and education. Our guide was outstanding: deeply knowledgeable, respectful, and able to connect history with the broader lessons that remain urgent today. The camp’s design itself tells the story: the triangular layout, Tower A as the only entrance, and Station Z as the “exit” where industrialized killing took place. Standing by the roll call square at dawn, hearing how thousands were forced to line up in the cold, was chilling. The details were harrowing but important—prisoners living packed 700 to a barrack built for 150, the absurd forced labor meant to break spirits, and the systematic dehumanization where a person’s worth was reduced to their ability to work. The guide wove in survivors’ testimonies that made the history painfully real. One prisoner described feeling like “an insect trapped in a jar.” Another spoke of how survival required both hope and community, because “you cannot survive a camp alone.” What made this tour exceptional was how it placed Sachsenhausen in the wider context: Nazi propaganda, international failures like the Évian Conference, and even the postwar use of the camp by the Soviets. The guide did not shy away from modern parallels, noting how extremist ideologies still persist and why memorialization matters. Practical advice: wear comfortable shoes, bring water, and prepare emotionally. This is a large site with limited amenities. The visitor center has an excellent museum and audio guides if you prefer to go at your own pace. This is not an easy visit, but it is absolutely essential. Sachsenhausen teaches not only about the past but about our responsibility today—to recognize hatred, resist indifference, and preserve the voices of those who endured.

A great way to see Berlin in a day with a very knowledgeable tour guide, much better than walking all day. Our tour guide was Yael, a 34 year old woman from Israel who had immigrated to Germany a bit over 3 years ago. She was charismatic and passionate with a wealth of knowledge to impart on us. Apparently in addition to being a tour guide she worked the improv clubs as a standup comic and of course supported herself as a waitress. I would highly recommend the tour, especially if you are lucky enough to have Yael as your guide
