What a great few hours spent with our guide Nickolai. The pace he delivered the tour at was great, so much information covering the Cold War and the division in Berlin. We really enjoyed the details given and also the visual points made by Nickolai, it’s actually a tour we would do again as it was so informative. Absolutely worth the money, the only point I would emphasise to anyone booking is wear comfortable shoes & bring a beverage with you
Joachim Was awesome! This tour had a great mix of historical facts and stories about people from those periods of time. Joachim Was so knowledgeable and you can tell loves teaching people!

If I could rate this tour higher than 5 stars, I would! Tour and guide (Maggie) were fabulous!!! She was extremely knowledgeable about Berlin and a great communicator, breaking down complex topics into simple task-aways. We saw everything advertised on the itinerary plus more! Great way to orient yourself in Berlin and learn about this historically and culturally rich city!! Maggie has a great sense of humor and was very patient (we had some kids on our tour which she was great with). I would totally do this tour again with her as our guide!
We did the Exploring Berlin tour with our tour guide, Daniel. Daniel was an absolutely fantastic guide! He was so knowledgeable and threw in some extra stops and information. We learned about architecture, history and the people who made Berlin what it is. Would highly recommend!

Our entire family was impressed by our guide, Ariel. He presented everything in a clear and engaging way, combining interesting facts with the occasional joke and excellent storytelling. His enthusiasm and knowledge made the tour both informative and enjoyable.
Although the tour ran a little longer than scheduled, we hardly noticed because we were so absorbed in the experience. By the end, we had seen all of Berlin's major sights and gained a much deeper appreciation of the city's history and culture.
We enjoyed this tour and would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Berlin. And if you have the chance, be sure to ask for Ariel!

Went on this excursion September 5th. Quite a few people there but numbers were split up to a good amount and we got Will. What an excellent guide. Very knowledgeable and funny. Had been to berlin before but seen places had never experienced before and places I had seen now know the history behind them. Was a 3hr tour that lasted jyst under 3 and a half hours but just flew in. Would definitely recommend this tour and hope you get Will. 5 stars.

We had Hannah as our guide and she was excellent, offering both historical context and thoughtful anecdotes! She even pointed out a shop we could buy an umbrella at before the tour started since it was raining and we'd just gotten into the city. Overall it was a great tour, with about 3 hours of walking to historical landmarks. We loved the QR code Hannah provided at the end for recommendations in the city!
