Amazing Tour of Berlin

5.00We were on a cruise and wanted to see Berlin. This tour looked great, but we were weary of the 3 hour drive each way. The van was so nice that we actually enjoyed the drive as a comfortable rest before the packed tour. Our guide was excellent, and we loved every minute of this tour. We highly recommend this tour on its own or as a cruise excursion.
Best Tour so far

5.00John (JJ) was so knowledgeable and accommodating he gave us one of the best private tours we've ever had! We were picked up right on time in a comfortable Mercedes-Benz passenger van for our two-and-a half hour ride to Berlin. We were two couples traveling on the Crystal Symphony who wanted to see the highlights of Berlin as well as the Sachsenhausen Concentration Camp. John literally made the Concentration Camp come alive with his knowledge of the history and details of the camp. From our tour of the camp in the morning we went into Berlin and had lunch at a great restaurant with him. Then on to the Berlin Wall, Checkpoint Charlie, the Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe, Brandenburg Gate, and other historic sites. John's passion of history and the many human aspects that are often overlooked or forgotten made this tour one of the best we've ever had.
