5.00Great visit with Benjamin. Many historical landmarks that allow us to understand this key moment in German history, and this turning point in the war. A really interesting guide, and great landmarks to understand this strategic moment in Germany. I can only highly recommend this tour and this guide. It was a first visit to Berlin for us, but this tour can certainly please, much more broadly, even for people who have already visited Berlin several times.
Fantastic walking tour

5.00This was my second time visiting Berlin and the guide Natalie was fantastic. She made the history come alive, was humanistic and encouraged open conversation about history and interpretations. The best guides are able to bring history to life and not just throw random facts at you and Natalie did an amazing job in tying everything together.
