Berlin 101 and much more ! - Our tour guide Brian was brilliant. His knowledge and deep personal experiences combined with his theatrical skills made this the best city tour ever. Brian wove the narrative around key dates in German history like November 9 and the unfolding of the Third Reich / Berlin Wall etc. He went beyond to answer questions and be inclusive of everyone in the group. Strongly recommend this tour and Brian as the guide.
