    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.
