We really enjoyed our walking tour with Glen. The pace was just right, never rushed, but we covered a lot of ground and saw many of Berlin's most important landmarks. Glen was incredibly organized, engaging, and clearly very knowledgeable about the city's history. He shared fascinating stories and historical context that really brought each stop to life.

Thank you to Jimmy for an excellent tour. He had great knowledge of the history of Berlin and kept our 13 year old engaged and happy that he was able to share his knowledge with the rest of the group. Good walking pace and the cafe break in the middle was a nice stop just when we needed to recharge our batteries. Jimmy gave some really good recommendations for places to visit and restaurants to experience good German food. We would highly recommend this tour as a way to get your bearings when you first arrive in Berlin.
