This tour was perfect. Stefan was interesting and insightful. This was a great way to see a lot of Berlin sites without burning up in the heat.
Not as advertised. The tour guide dismissed our repeated requests to see the monuments, as described in the itinerary.
This statement is false. The customer wanted to travel to Sachsenhausen, for example, which isn't even in Berlin and isn't included in the itinerary in any way. And the credit card can't be charged either. This is really sad!
Tour gide arrived early with my name on a sign. Bus was a little early too. Guide asked our preferences and was very informative!
Great tour. Good overview of Berlin. Guide was very informative. Prompt and on-time Driver got us around the city smoothly
Our guide was AMAZING!!!!!!!! His knowledge was fantastic. He kept us engaged and we saw so much a just a few hours. We got in and out of a very clean car and we had a driver so our guide could concentrate on answer our questions. This was a great first day thing to do. Our group was 17 - 80 in age and we all loved it.
A really great way to see and learn about Berlin! Our guide, Bernard, was full of knowledge and gaiety and even brought along books of photos and maps to help tell the stories. He was open to our requests to see parts of the city and recommended a place for lunch. He went above and beyond by helping us find a pharmacy for cold medicine for my daughter, even accompanying me into the store to explain what we need. Our driver (Juergen?) was also great and easy going. The van was air conditioned and had complimentary bottles of water. I’d do this again anytime.
Winfried guided us through Berlin in an entertaining and educational way. Especially his inside knowledge and his hints on the function of democracy convinced us very much Thank you!
Excellent tour by Stefen! Great pacing and delivery of points. Stefen was very good natured and engaging throughout. He and our chauffer were both very accommodating of our circumstances, adjusting the tour as needed. It was the best possible introduction to Berlin for my family. Thank you both!
I found our tour guide knowledgeable and interesting. We were able to ask all our questions and discuss the history of Berlin.
Information about the Berlin Wall was quite interesting and in depth. The Guide was quite knowledgeable.
