Fantastic day with Berni in Berlin! The city was a real surprise, much bigger than we thought and so many different neighbourhoods, styles and varieties of things to do and see. The weather was incredible, the food a delight and the people so warm and interesting. Their english was also exceptionally good which was another big surprise. I highly recommend the experience and Berlin. We will be back!
We’re glad the weather, food, and friendly locals added to your experience, and it’s great to hear you were impressed with Berni’s English skills. We can’t wait to welcome you back for more Berlin adventures in the future.
Great introduction to Berlin, our guide Saad covered brief history of the city and important sites. About the right level of detail for a tour on our first day. We also appreciated Saad carrying on with the tour in good humour despite terrible weather! Thank you.
I'm thrilled to hear that you had a wonderful time with Saad , and your experience sounds truly exciting! Thank you for generously sharing your personal recommendations with fellow travelers, and a special thank you for the positive review. It means a lot to us!
Joel was an awesome local guide. The price was pretty high since it is a customized and personal, but is very worth it especially if you are going to a country you have never been before. Joel tackled everything I wanted to learn and know. His knowledge about history and off the beaten paths area is very robust. After our tour I was confident on getting around by myself and I learned so many things that I would have not known easily.
