Additional Information

Berlin, oh, Berlin! Originating as a simple hamlet, it evolved into the heart of a powerful kingdom, then an empire, endured the gloom and segregation of the Nazi and Communist periods, and re-emerged in all its splendour as the quintessential capital of European erudition, fashion, and innovation - indeed, a location ripe with narratives!

Great tour - It was a very interesting and (thankfully) deeper introduction to Berlin than expected. In addition to Berlin's history, JR (or RJ? sorry I can't remember anymore) gave us great tips regarding free museums (and we did visit some of them and weren't disappointed). Be prepared that the tour does not end where it starts and it requires stamina :-)

Excellent tour with an amazing guide - What an outstanding tour! Mary was excellent and I loved all the personal stories and how she made us think. I love these tours and the fact each guide brings something different to the tour. In case Trip Advisor doesn’t allow me to do a second review I must also comment in Canadian Chris who gave an excellent tour too on Under the Swastika. Both are what your guises should be - friendly, knowledgeable and engaging.
