    Great walking tour. Two and a half hours would never be enough but the tour guide’s earnest efforts to give the proper context with respect to the history of Germany in general snd Berlin specifically greatly helped in understanding and appreciating the sites we visited. Our tour guide was Cristobal. He kept everything interesting and worthwhile. Highly recommended if you only have a limited time in Berlin.

    Marcel was an excellent guide on the 2 hour Berlin tour. He delivered lots of historical information to a large group on a cold wet morning but kept everyone fully engaged. It was a good way to get our bearings and locate areas we could revisit later.

    Marcel was our guide for this 2.5hr free walking tour of the Communist history of Berlin & the Wall. His historical information was great and he was a really engaging guide. Some of the group didn't turn up (why?) but it made the group smaller which was more enjoyable for us. We stopped at sights that we otherwise might not have seen. Starting at the Brandenburg Gate we walked past the Russian Embassy to the station at Friedrich Strasse and the palace of tears. We might never have known the history of the (ghost) stations and most certainly would not have stopped at the palace of tears but for Marcel. We perhaps spent a little too much time at the final stop at the Wall Memorial, but definitely would have missed the reconstruction of the wall as it was, without Marcel. We didn't know what to expect of a free walking tour but it was definitely one not to miss & were really happy to tip at the end. We thoroughly enjoyed the experience and Marcel's tip on where to eat at Alexander Platz was excellent. We would definitely recommend to all.

    Gilad was an amazing tour guide. This far exceeded our expectations. He was so knowledgeable and brought a fantastic mix of history, current culture and depth to our understanding of our surroundings. He clearly knew so much about Berlin and shared his love for the city and emotional history with us.
