We'd like to thank viveBerlinTour for the must-see tour of Berlin. This 3-hour tour gave us an insight into some of Berlin's history. My two 14-year-olds loved it, so to speak !!!! Thanks again to our guide.

This was my first time visiting Berlin and Anouk was exceptional as a guide, we had a blast walking and visiting the city historic monuments and location. Anouk make sure she respond to each person questions, very articulate and give precise details and information. Solo or with a group, I will recommend

Julien was a super great guide for this tour! I really recommend him you will have a lot of information about Berlin (architecture, history, political…)

We did the tour beginning of March, and although the weather was cold and chancy, we did not see the time go by. The visit was conducted in French and was very interesting. Our guide always answered our questions. For those who are wondering or hesitating because of the length of the visit, it is never boring, and you also get a restroom break halfway through it and at the end. Next time we come to Berlin, we will do the other tours available - so yes we would recommend choosing them for guided tours in Berlin.

Jean Charles is great! He knows his subject and expresses himself clearly and precisely 🤩 very enriching visit. He explained and showed us the interior and exterior wall and we discovered things that we would not have understood alone.

Thanks to Arthur for introducing us to Berlin, its history, its culture, and what a story, this city is fascinating and has a lot to teach us, Arthur showed us so many things, told us little stories in the big story, we explained the work of memory of the Germans, how this city remains today a very cosmopolitan city where living together is ultimately not so bad. We 100% recommend Long Live Berlin Tour!

A good route with all the main attractions. The guide was friendly and knowledgeable about its history. He told us everything in an easy to understand way but gave in-depth details for those who wanted to learn more.
