Fabulous, 100% Recommend! - Such a fabulous tour. Our guide Paul was fantastic! He had a huge amount of historical knowledge and explained everything in a clear and understandable way. He answered lots of other questions the group had both related and unrelated to the tour. He was a great guide. I cannot recommend this tour enough if you are visiting Berlin and want a better understanding of the era. Thanks Paul!

Fantastic Tour - The tour guide, Cairan, was excellent. His knowledge of Berlin and the historical events surrounding the city is fantastic and he was more than happy to answer any questions during the tour. I learned so much about the Cold War, life in East Berlin etc and everything was explained very well. I would highly recommend this tour for anyone visiting Berlin!

Berlin Wall with Checkpoint Charlie - The guide Kirin was extremely knowledgeable, pleasant and spoke very clear English. I would go on another visit to another attraction with him as a guide. My son loved the tour as well.

Excellent - This tour was brilliant. Paul was knowledgeable, friendly and made the history of Berlin easy to understand and very interesting. He answered questions, told stories and explained Berlin’s Cold War history within the wider context of Europe. The walk took us around the city giving us a sense of direction for the rest of our stay and gave us additional places to check out afterwards. I can’t recommend this tour enough, it was fantastic.

Well worth booking! - Our guide Kieran (not sure that’s spelled right) was fantastic!! So friendly, knowledgable and very easy to listen to. It was obvious he really knows the history of Berlin and he answered all our groups questions with patience. I was so looking forward to this tour as I did history in school and couldn’t believe I was seeing these sights first hand. The tour went so smoothly and he kept us informed of each step so we didn’t get separated on the U or anywhere. We even stopped for coffee half way through which was a nice surprise. And warmed us up! I would recommend this tour without hesitation and if you are lucky enough to have Kieren as your guide you are in for a brilliant and informative trip through history. Book it!! Five stars. 😀
