I spent a few hours with Cairan as he guided me through the history of Berlin sites. His knowledge and his attention to detail was amazing. I learnt so much in the three and a half hours. The Berlin wall, interesting facts about the wall coming down and the night it happened. Museum Island with its historical buildings and listening to Cairan I learnt so much about the building designers, the royal family of those times and so much more. Book this tour, all the tours with Birchys are good.

Andrew_G

Ciaran our guide was excellent: extremely knowledgeable, able to answer all our questions with a sense of humour. We learned a great deal about a number of important Berlin sights, about German history and about a few Holocaust memorials.

Carol K

Excellent and informative tour which gave a great historical overview of the city. Kieran was a very knowledgeable and engaging guide with incredible mastery of detail.

Our full day private tour with Paul was excellent and highly recommended. An excellent guide with comprehensive knowledge of the city and country, he was able to weave together the city’s complicated history through conversation rather than just regurgitating facts and dates. This tour really gave context to the city and set us up for a deeper understanding for the rest of our visit.

Neil_M

CasaIlaria

We had a great tour with Francisco, very knowledgeable and friendly. He told us all about the history of Berlin and Germany, answered all our questions with great patience and finished even after the official time. I was a little skeptical about taking a touristic tour, but I changed my mind and was glad I did

Susan_C

Guide had excellent knowledge of Berlin and told us a great deal of history. Would recommend this tour.

Darlene_D

We had initially booked a different tour but were contacted that the tour was not running that day. They assisted us in selecting a different tour and I am SO grateful for the powers that be!! This tour was the best and our guide, Kieran, is a walking encyclopedia (or google app). He provided more information than we could retain, although soaked it up like a sponge! I would HIGHLY recommend this tour if you are in Berlin for any amount of time
