An unmissable tour to learn about the history and personal stories of post-war Berlin. Silvio also answered many questions, showing great professionalism and knowledge of the subject. Highly recommended.
Very nice visit. Many stories and anecdotes that Martin has shared with us.
Beautiful tour and pleasant group experience. Giulia expert and empathic guide. Experience to recommend to fully experience Berlin
Giulia was an excellent guide, very prepared and engaging. The tour was very informative and allowed me to learn about the wall that I did not know before. Definitely recommended!
During our stay in Berlin we did 4 guided tours with Vive Berlin Tours, all with different guides, very knowledgeable and engaging. The first tour was "TOUR BERLIN EAST AND THE WALL" led by Paolo, brilliant and theatrical; he managed to tell us in great detail some pages of the history of this city often less prominent than the Nazi period, but very important, transmitting the difficult emotions that Berliners felt, separated by a wall that transformed their lives again. The second tour was "TOUR YERZO REICH" with Silvio, prepared, professional and passionate; He helped us get to know Berlin during the Nazi period by adding to the historical dates known, details not found in the books or guides conveying his love for Berlin and for some characters who stood out for the courage to try to save lives. The third tour was "TOUR SACHSENHAUSEN CAMPO CONCENTRATION" led by Lorenzo, excellent at explaining in a simple and linear way historical events very difficult to understand when trying to understand the dynamics that led to certain horrors, always choosing the most suitable words but at the same time charged with respect for all the pain that a genocide can generate. The fourth tour was “ALTERNATIVE BERLIN TOUR” in which Antonella guided us to the most authentic part of Berlin, showing us the deep differences between the neighborhoods of this city and the beauties that lie hidden in the most unexpected alleys. An indispensable tour to better understand a multicultural city in constant evolution where some of the greatest artists such as David Bowie, Iggy Pop, Tom Hanks, etc. have passed with a sweet break based on Berliner. Thanks also to Jacopo, often present at morning appointments and always available and kind in listening to the needs of individuals. Ultimately it made a difference for us to rely on Vive Berlin Tours because with them we tasted the city in a way that we would not have been able to do independently.
Great city tour in Berlin, fantastic experience and engaging guide: Filippo is very knowledgeable, fun and entertaining. Highly recommended
The true narrative of the wall and the Cold War, lived in the places of history. Thanks to Paolo, our precious guide, who was able to involve and excite us!
A journey that made tangible the events and consequences that still remain evident in the city and in the people of Berlin.
Excellent!!! Very interesting tour, 3 hours flew and Fabio was very good. Seeing Berlin with someone who tells you about it is indispensable.
It was a very interesting tour. Highly recommended! The three hours flew with the guide who was very clear and told the story in a captivating way
