I love walking tours especially on beautiful days. This was a great waking tour led by Simon, who did an outstanding job leading this tour. The tour hit all the locations you would expect of a tour of Berlin and Simon did a fantastic job explaining its history. I definitely recommend this tour.

What a fantastic and informative tour Glen gave us. Nearly 4 hours of interesting facts and sights that we wouldn’t have managed to fit in ourselves. With a clear love of history Glen guided us through the history of Berlin and we learned so much from him . Thank you Glen.

Comfortable walking shoes a must! The tour took us on a great path around the East side of Berlin. Quincy was a fantastically knowledgeable and passionate guide. I very much enjoyed learning about Berlin from 1200’s onwards from him!

This is a walking tour, it’s is on flat paved footpaths, it does involve 3 hours walking at a reasonable pace. There is lots of excellent information provided, however you will be outside and traffic noise can make it difficult to hear the commentary. Bring your own drinks and snacks. The content is as described and can be thought provoking. The tour focuses on East Berlin.

Anja O was an excellent guide. She was clear and knowledgeable - and obviously enjoyed her work. It was a long (very interesting) tour, but she was constantly checking that everyone in the group was okay and that they understood ( there were a number of people whose first language wasn't English) She stayed around when the tour had finished to help/advise people with plans for the rest of the day/trip. It was a fascinating and in-depth introduction to the city and its history. I would highly recommend it.

Small group and really informative talks on the way round from Anika — a deeply knowledgeable guide who has a warm and friendly style. Could not recommend higher.

This tour is very informative and extremely well designed. In 3.5 hour, we received a lot of useful information about the history of Germany. Our tour guide was Theo who made this walk around centre of Berlin super enjoyable. Coffee break for 20 minutes was also right on time when we needed some snacks and beverages. I did not feel tired as the whole experience was excellent!
