Nir was a great tour guide!
Nir was an excellent tour guide. He was very knowledgeable, and informed us of many local items of historical importance concerning WW2, Hitler, and the Berlin Wall. The stories of the local people, as well as the Jewish Memorial visit were enlightening. We enjoyed the tour immensely, and it seemed to pass very quickly.

Good final surprise experience
It was very well explained and the guide was very good...but at the end of the tour we had to pay him (if I work according to him) and we had already paid previously...we should advise or inform this detail...otherwise very well everything
Operator response
Gracias por compartir tu experiencia y por destacar lo positivo del tour.
Sentimos mucho la sorpresa relacionada con el pago al finalizar. Entendemos perfectamente que, si ya habías realizado un pago previamente, esto pudiera resultar confuso. En nuestros tours, el sistema de propinas y la información sobre el funcionamiento del servicio deberían quedar claros desde el principio, por lo que agradecemos que nos señales este punto. Nos alegra, por otro lado, saber que disfrutaste de las explicaciones y del trabajo del guía.
Esperamos poder recibirte de nuevo en Berlín y ofrecerte una experiencia aún mejor.
