Quincy was amazing. He was so nice and knew so much about the history, really bringing the buildings and stories to life. 10/10 would recommend

I have taken many walking tours before, this is by far the best! Our guide Quincy is half German and half Australian. So his English is perfect, sometimes his description is even poetic. He is very knowledgeable. This trip helped me understand Berlin for many aspects. And this is the only walking trip I have taken so far which didn’t proactively ask for a tip , but I still offered, just because this is a really great tour, and I appreiciate Quincy’s time and explanation

Had a truly phenomenal tour with Theo. His delivery of the history of the city was highly engaging and informative, pointing out how the various tragedies and triumphs of the city have shaped it while going into intriguing and fascinating anecdotes about at the location of Hitler's Bunker, the State Opera, the Museum Island, the Holocaust Monument, Checkpoint Charlie and much more. Even with a 3.5-4 hour walk, the pace was easy to match and the locations varied enough for it to remain continually interesting. Walking down Unter den Linden, past the bullet holes of the Museum Island, imperial monuments, international embassies, reminders of the city's darker history with both the Cold War and Second World War, was incredible.

The walking tour covers history of Berlin from first known records to today. If you’re interested in the last 100 years, we’d recommend another tour. Very knowledgeable and approachable guide

Reuben was an outstanding tour guide. He is both engaging and informative. Our tour had only 10 people in it so it was almost like a private tour with plenty of time for questions and in depth descriptions of the sites. As a fist timer in Berlin,I highly recommend taking this tour for an overview of the sites and hopefully you will be lucky enough to have Reuben as your guide!
