Quincey our tour guide did an exceptional job. He is very knowledgeable and gave us not only the history of the physical wall but also insight into the human story. I grew up with the Wall being in place so I found the tour very meaningful. The tour would also be insightful to younger persons to learn about this bazaar event in history.

Giles walked us through the fascinating history of the Berlin Wall and the surrounding events. His approach was great. It's so effective to stand in the very places where the stories played out. Rigorous but entertaining, Giles was very well informed and flexible. We enjoyed his company enormously. Heartily recommended.

Excellent tour! Giles our guide was so knowledgeable. The walk was at a lovely gentle pace, Giles took time to tell stories, explain the history and context. Lots of time to take photos and ask questions. We stopped at places I’d otherwise have walked passed. A very worthwhile couple of hours.

Campbell was amazing on this tour - he explains history with ease and is very engaging to listen to. He showed us a ghost station, the Berlin Wall and the surrounding area and memorial and the death strip. Campbell brings history to life and is the best tour guide. You will not be disappointed with this tour. It was amazing value for money. We were in a small group of around 10 people.
