Just loved this tour! Even tho it was in a minivan Steffie ( our guide), had a microphone! Made hearing everything soooo easy! We loved the commentary on the sights and the info about the famius events including Check Point Charlie; The holocaust exhibit; and the Brandenburg gate. Stopped for Curry Wurst - a local dish - I heard it was excellent! ( I opted for something else). Saw all of the special things we came to see and just absolutely loved it! Loved Steffie and our driver Jurgen! Don’t miss this trip!!

Axel and the driver were excellent. When you have small children in tow during holidays, personal guided tours are the only way to go. Axel was friendly and knowledgeable. He answered our questions and interacted well with y children. The Mercedes was spacious and comfortable.

Two vans picked up nine people from Airport. Arrived on time. Was in town for just half day. Saw plenty of attractions including Check Point Charlie, Brandenburg, government buildings, an old church and much more. Guide was very knowledge and detailed everything. Like the way you can customize tour. You can arrange your own start time, pickup and drop off points.

Our party of three thoroughly enjoyed our day with Axel and driver Angelica who treated us with every courtesy. Axel was wonderfully knowledgeable and remained enthusiastic in imparting his vast knowledge throughout a long day. He was encouraging to us to ask questions and remained tolerant when we sought clarification on the changed to borders throughout history. WE have enjoyed many city guides and this was up there at the top - great work Axel.

Our group of 6 were fortunate enough to do a 6 hour tour of Berlin with Alex. We learned a lot about East and West Berlin during this time. Alex is extremely knowledgable and answered all our questions. We visited the Brandenburg Gate, Reichstag, Charlottenburg Palace, East Side gallery, Berlin Wall, Checkpoint Charlie, Berlin Cathedral, and many more. We were able to stop where we wanted to take pictures and he had suggestions of other places to view. He was open to sharing his opinion on the current state of Berlin and Germany and we found it all to be informative. They had water for us and although I do not recall the driver's name, they were both gentlemen helping my wife, mother-in-law, and aunt in and out of the mini-van. Great way to kick off our European trip! Thank you again Alex!

We did a 3-hour tour in a minivan when we first got to Berlin. Axel Schlicht (the tour guide) and Angela (sp?, our driver) were excellent. We learned so much about the city and it's history, and about what to do and where to go next after the 3-hour tour. They even dropped us off at a great restaurant near the museums in the center of the city. Getting to see the city west and the city east was great for perspective. Thanks Axel!
