A brilliant tour with Paul - I would highly recommend this tour. Our guide Paul was brilliant delivering lots of information in an entertaining way. It is a very full half day seeing all the main sights in Berlin. Paul knew his subject very well and waited for the full group to join him before talking about the places of interest. This tour involves lots of walking so isnt really suitable for those with mobility issues

Enjoyable and informative tour by an excellent tour guide - Hannah - Our tour guide was Hannah and she was absolutely fantastic!! Hannah's knowledge of Berlin was brilliant as was the way she shared it with the group. She was open, enthusiastic, answered every question that was thrown at her and her passion for the city was clear but at the same time she wanted us all to make up our own minds. Highly recommended!!

Excellent guide & great information - Mike was a great guide who personalized the tour with stories of his mother-in-law’s experience in Soviet East Berlin and their experiences since the wall came down. He was friendly, personable and a wealth of information. Suggested museums, Christmas Markets and memorials we should see during our visit to the city. Thank you!

Expect what you pay for - It was just ok. It was a little hectic, I can’t say that he was not knowledgeable but it was not very informative and very superficial. Do not book through viatour! It is free. Viatour acts like an agent and takes extra money, which is not good for two reasons: you are paying extra and they are not responsible for the guides. The can be musicians, actors without even historical or other education. You can read Wikipedia and be one. It is very disappointing. I expect much more from Viatour.
