Ariel was great. Very informative and personable. He was very knowledgeable and added a personal touch. We would recommend him for sure.
The perfect guide sharing a tragic history to help present day travelers avoid similar mistakes in the future.

Jochen was a fantastic guide appropriately mixing story with fact, humor with tragedy, and effectiveness (focused on his guests) and efficiency (staying within the allotted time). The tour itinerary reflected more the Cold War and its impact on Berlin instead of simply looking at the Berlin City center, which we greatly appreciated. Combined with the WWII - Third Reich tour, we received a broad understanding of how the citizens have responded to each new twist and turn, resulting in a deeper appreciation for the German people and all they’ve had to endure.
