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. 😀

What an informative tour!!!! - This was tour that we booked because of our passing interest in the history of The Berlin Wall. What we got was informative discussion and insights into the workings of governments, profiles of important people and a greater understanding to how the Wall was operated and worked. It was clearly the best tour we have had to date on our travels. Thank you Simon!!!!

Amazing Cold War Tour - Cold War Tour Experience with Steve was extremely informative, we also used the underground train system with guidance from our patient guide, which was something we wouldn’t have done otherwise, We started with history of no man’s land at the Brandenberg Gate right through to the check point on the American section of Berlin. We paid a thought provoking and sad visit to a memorial for the souls desperately wanting freedom , all covered with great sensitivity, the depth of knowledge and insight helped us look at history from a different perspective and empathy. So very glad we did this tour I found it eye opening. Huge thank you
