There's a reason they didn't get a 0/5 and ended with a 4/5. The reason it nearly got a 0 is that we were to walk on 22nd Dec. After no-one turned up at the location, I checked my email and found a reminder just sent from O.T. via google (10 mins before meet up time) which had a link. I clicked the link to then discover a new location 30 minutes away back near our hotel! We never made that walk obvs, but after much hunting for tel numbers we were rearranged to 23rd Dec tour (I do recognise their quick action but lucky we had a free day and they still ran the walk on the Sat). No explanation of why we weren't told of the change in meet up location (it's pretty fundemental info to a walking tour to know where to meet the guide). The reason it gets a 4/5 is because the guide on the 23rd was awesome. He saved you Original Tours! Sort your admin out it's quite critical to know where to meet in the first place. David was excellent. He's a credit to you. Note to future bookers, check with OT on the morning of you tour where to meet your guide. Do not trust your booking confirmation.

Best tour ever with Roshana!!! Very interesting tour, worth it definitely, She is the best!!! 100% recommended.

Theresa_L

Disappointed that we didn’t visit Teufelsberg for the communication station as advertised. Please contact me about this. The trip itself was great; the tour guide l, Richard was knowledgeable and friendly and knew lots about the local area and much more when questioned, we enjoyed our day out, but I think he took us on a different trip entirely

We were at the meeting place from 12:50 until 1:20 and no one ever showed up Very frustrating and told to come the next day but it was a different tour Not good

Jennifer_Z

The guide never showed up, nor did we ever get an explanation. A group of about 8 were just blown off.

We were very disappointed. We scheduled the Original Cold War East Berlin Communism & Berlin Wall Tour for 2:00pm/14:00hr. We waited until 2:30p/14:30hr along with several other tourists. The tour guide never showed up. Each of us that were there called Be Original Tours to try to find out whether the tour guide would show. None of us got an answer when calling; instead we received a message that the party that you're trying to reach is not available. In addition, we have not been able to get our refund for the tour. Very disappointed.

Lovely experience walking around with Miguel, i learned a lot about berlin history and he also gave us some great tips on where to go out which was really helpful. Definitely recommend!

Jake B

Our guide Aaron was great and the whole area of Berlin is amazing. Definitely, something I would not have seen without the Teufelberg Tour. Everyone should head out there on their trip.

Please DO NOT book with this original tour company unless your have time to burn up your sleeve. I really really wished I took into consideration all the no show reviews prior to my booking. I was in Berlin for just over 24 hours with the singular purpose to see the wall, and learn about the Cold War history. After a number of hours googling different tour company’s, I decided to book the original tour company’s Cold War tour. Everything was good and the website let me book online for the specific date and time, make a payment, and then they followed up with a confirmation email. When I turned up to join the tour I was informed this tour was not running for January. So even at January 28th they had not had the decency to block booking for this tour online.. or make any reference to the fact this tour would not be running. When I questioned this poor management and voiced my utter disappointment in the lack of tour, despite confirmation email etc one of the employees just turned to me and said “well that’s the German way”. Through my interactions with Germans on a daily basis I have never encountered such a cruel and dismissive behaviour. Please do not book this tour is you you have a small amount of time. If you turn up and the tour is not running it is a very disappointing experience. To add salt in the wound I have not heard back with an apology or refund.
