A rewarding visit - Very interesting visit with Paul. Although a Germanist, I learned things from Paul's well-documented historical visit. Paul shows pedagogy and is very attentive!

Jean-Charles from Vive Berlin - Jean-Charles of Vive Berlin was able to popularize his historical knowledge of the Nazi period in Berlin.
We recommend that everyone book a visit with him with their eyes closed.

Very good +++ - Arthur is an excellent Guide. He knows his subject well and answers questions easily. The ride was only on foot. We don't finish at the Check-out Point.

Exciting tours by passionate guides. To do absolutely! - We first registered for the tour on East Berlin and life under the GDR. It was so exciting that we then wanted to do the essentials of Berlin. This second visit complemented the first with guides who knew their subject perfectly, passionate about it and therefore exciting.
We enjoyed it so much that we changed our plans to be able to visit Berlin under the Nazis. A visit to the heavy subject but so well explained by an interesting Guide that allowed us to better understand this terrible page of History.
If you want to make the most of your stay in Berlin, we can only recommend any of the tours offered by Vive Berlin tours, a really serious association with excellent guides.
Thanks to Martin, Paul and Céline for these experiences which allowed us to have an excellent holiday and which will leave an unforgettable memory of this city with such a dense past.

An unmissable entrance to Berlin by an exceptional "lecture"! - Anouk, it was our guide, exciting, clear, documented, attentive to the group. We didn't see the three hours pass and ended up much more cultivated in Berlin. A big, big thank you to Anouk.

Bof bof - When we say that the Guide does everything it is... here our Guide, Martin, walked far too fast and did not give enough details about the monuments some of which were flown over. Really I didn’t like it
