Our kind and funny guide Jimmy took us around Berlin for a couple of hours. He told us interesting background stories while we admired the city. 10/10 recommend!

This is an excellent, quick historical overview of Berlin that is informative without feeling like you’re in a history class as school. My 19 year old son and i came to Berlin for a soccer match and decided last minute to take a half day tour and it ended up being a highlight (since our team lost their match 😊). Rebecca was a terrific guide with great stories about Berlin’s history all the way up to present time. We were never bored (and that’s saying something when touring with a 19 year old) and the tour gave us some surprising info. Highly recommend if you just want to see the main sights, get topline but detailed enough historical info and are on a budget.

Jasper was fantastic. This is a great tour to do on your first day in Berlin and to get an idea of what museums to visit and a basic history of Berlin.

For starters Joel was a great tour guide, he provided a lot of information about the sites as well as some personal recommendations (try the strawberry stands, they’re unbelievably good!). I learned a great amount of history during this tour and had a chance to familiarize myself with certain areas of the city to allow some exploration after the tour. Easy walking tour that I would recommend to anyone I know, thanks again Joel!

Jörg was a great guide. He explained important events and figures, but not in a boring way. He carefully chose the most important things we should know and the things that would interest us. He was open to people asking questions and was personable and approachable.
