“Kieran (sp?) was an amazing guide. He is extremely knowledgeable on a wide range of topics. This is a fantastic tour to get an understanding of Berlin’s history especially since the turn of the century. The time and pacing was also really well planned. We never felt rushed nor did we spend too much time in any one area or on any one topic. I would highly recommend this as a tour to take on your first day in Berlin to help you gain your bearings and understand where you want to spend more time during the remainder of your visit.”

Daniel met us at our hotel, asked us what would like to see, and quickly made a plan. The four hours flew by and by the end of the day Daniel felt like a member of our family. At the end of the tour he gave recommendations for other things to do and see. This tour is definitely a must do while you are in Berlin.”
