5.00We had a very exciting and impressive tour with Harald Zawuski. His knowledge of the history of the Wall was impressively detailed, illustrated with many before/after photos and at the same time wonderfully understandable. We particularly liked how he linked historical facts with personal stories, anecdotes and well-chosen background information. As a result, we got to know the city of Berlin in a completely different, deeper way. Despite the sometimes difficult subject matter, he managed to make the leadership varied, exciting and very sensitive. He responded to all our questions and adapted the tour to our pace and interests. We would recommend this tour and especially Mr. Zawuski without hesitation. An absolutely special experience that made our stay in Berlin unforgettable. Thank you for this impressive and personal tour!

5.00Harald provided Doreen and i with a comprehensive explanation of the historical sites we visited. His broad knowledge gave us an excellent perspective of what has taken place in Berlin. His friendly nature made us feel very welcome. I have no hesitation in recommending Harald.

5.00We thoroughly enjoyed Harald, our private guide for this tour. He integrated public memorials/historic displays as well his own collection of historic photographs to tell the story of Berlin's iconic monuments over the years. I found his photographs to be incredibly helpful to visualize former versions of the city and its buildings. My 17 yo son is a WWII buff and Harald engaged him in very intelligent and thoughtful conversations along our tour. Highly informative, professional and personable!
what a way to see Berlin!

5.00My husband and I contacted Harald based on our son's recommendation and we were very pleased! We met Harald at a pre-arranged site and walked and toured with him for 4 hours! The tour encompassed all of the major historical sites of the city from the perspective of a local. It was a great way to get an overview and yet left much for us to explore on our own the next day. We highly recommend Harald.
