We had a three-hour group tour with Ru, a Scot who has lived in Berlin for many years. He was very friendly and patient with questions. He thoroughly deserved his tip! The tour gave us a good sense of the layout of the city centre and so we were able to retrace our steps the next day to spend a bit more time at the points that had interested us the most.

Our tour with Artie was both informative and interesting. He has a wide knowledge of German history and culture. A great introduction to Berlin with a coffee break half way through. Would thoroughly recommend.

Eran was a tremendous guide. His knowledge was astounding and had answers to all of our random questions. The pace of the tour was excellent, so many major sites were covered in depth, and never felt rushed. I highly recommend this tour, and hopefully you're lucky enough to have Eran as your guide.

The review is absolutely amazing. We went with four kids and four adults, and the tour guide was excellent at keeping it. Interesting for the preteens. We are in a large group and it didn’t seem like we couldn’t ask questions or anything. He left lots of opportunities to ask questions but honestly, he was so informative that we were having trouble thinking of any possible information we would be lacking. He was funny and kept things slight and fun.
