Top Berlin tour from an Irish guide. - Padraic gave us a spectacular tour of the capital. He knew details of every site and shared his knowledge and excitement in a thoughtful and thought-provoking way.

A thoughtful and edifying experience - Joel, our guide, took his time and explained the history of Berlin and of each place we visited with care and precision. He listened carefully to all of our questions and answered each to the best of his ability. He wasn’t in a hurry to get rid of us and in fact took extra time to make sure we saw everything with understanding and appreciation. The photographs he carried with him helped us to contrast the current bustling and vital Berlin with its wartime past. A thoroughly enjoyable tour ended with a moving quotation from “Austerlitz” about the importance of memory.

Extremely informative review of 20th century Berlin history - Our guide Jimmy had so much historical information about Berlin and its sights that he made accessible to us, particularly 20th century Berlin. I've read about and seen a lot of these sights in books and online but it is a totally different thing to see them IRL - really brings it home. A lot of it is pretty dark and bleak but so necessary to be able to understand our present day. Highly recommended to get a grip on why Berlin and indeed Germany is the way it is now.

Excellent! - Extremely well led by Steve who educated, informed and entertained. I particularly liked his change of tone to very sombre when we reached the Fuhrer Bunker. A great experience well marshalled around a couple of bursts of heavy rain.

Interesting and Insightful - We had Rona as our guide and she was wonderful. She blended history, explanations, interesting gossip along with bits of humor and made the tour exciting and informative. It was a long tour and she moved us along smartly but it was never dull. One of the other people in our tour told me that she had never walked so far and so fast but she was with the tour to the end. That shows how good Rona was. She was both interesting and insightful. Excellent tour.
