Great guide (or two guides I should say!!) Rob and his trusty 4 legged companion Gilbert were both delightful :) Rob welcomed any and all questions while keeping the atmosphere light and fun but serious at times when talking about the darker parts of history. Including Gilbert’s photo for your viewing pleasure!! :)
Family friendly and highly recommended!

Niyema was excellent - very knowledgeable, entertaining and catered for everyone with stories and information. She was very engaging and provided just the right amount of information without overloading. Also had plenty of time to take in the sites, wander through the memorial - never felt rushed or unable to take everything in. Highly recommend!!

We recently did the Welcome to Berlin Walkative tour with Ru as our guide and he was absolutely fantastic. The tour was interesting, sad in places but Ru made it such a great experience with his knowledge about the history of the city. Absolutely recommend if you're lucky enough to visit this amazingly vibrant city!
