Excellent guide,very informative and personable,explained the importance of the history past to the present,new slant on current events.
This is a 3.5 hour walking tour of Berlin. Our guide Jochen was friendly , knowledgeable, and very interesting. We never felt rushed as we stopped to take photos and he answered all of our questions. If I’m ever lucky enough to visit Berlin again, I would absolutely take another tour with Jochen as our guide.
Jochen was absolutely incredible! I highly recommend this tour. It's a fair bit of walking, but the pace was manageable. There were quite a few stops full of history and stories.
We did the Walking tour with Orit our guide.She was very friendly, informative . It was great experience. Best way to know the history.
Jochen, our guide, was extremely knowledgeable and intuitively picked up the level that was right for us and our existing knowledge base. He was charming and his English was excellent. He adapted the itinerary to suit our interests and pitched his explanations at just the right level. And he provided good recommendations for restaurants for dinner and for our trip to Potsdam the following day! Very highly recommended.
We had the pleasure of Thomas taking us on a tour of Berlin and he was brilliant. His knowledge and experience was outstanding. It was a 3 hour tour that felt like it went for 10 minutes. We would highly recommend this tour to all of our friends and family. 10/10
Orit was so wonderful. She knew so much and shared so much knowledge with us and we enjoyed our time together. It was a great tour and I would recommend this tour to everyone!
