“An excellent orientation to downtown Berlin! Approximately 4 hours of interesting history to go with the many brief stops along the route. Making this your first activity when visiting gives one a brief overview of the area, and helps planning for your day's ahead. Johnny, from England, was a great guide. We would recommend him highly.”

“Xavier was our guide, and he gave an excellent tour! After condensing centuries of German history into a digestible summary, he showed us the major highlights of the city, relating them back to the history, and peppering in fun facts and anecdotes. He was approachable and friendly; we felt comfortable asking many questions and he had thoughtful answers. The depth of his knowledge of Germany history was impressive and we all learned a great deal… …I can say it was the best historical tour that I have taken in any city.”
