I am deeply interested in history and was eager to understand more about the history of the city and its people. The guide shared a wealth of stories and not just dates and facts. I appreciate the symbolism behind one of the most iconic landmarks of the 20th century. It’s one thing to read about history in books, but another entirely to experience it through this kind of a walking tour.
Lots if history to see and hear about as we had a terrific guide who spoke English very well. The line throughout the streets of the city of Berlin allows you to imagine what the wall must have done to divide the city.
Thank you for your review. We are thrilled that you liked the tour.
It was interesting to learn the history about the Berlin Wall. There is not much of the wall left but it's enough to have a good idea how things were back then.
We are glad that you found the tour interesting. Thank you for choosing us.
