From start to finish this tour was perfect. We had corresponded in advance about the sights we wished to see and visit in conjunction with their normal itinerary. Our outstanding guide Stefan along with his driver of a very comfortable mini-van arrived promptly at our hotel to begin the tour. Stefan was very knowledgeable and personable. He was able to focus on his presentation while leaving all of the driving headaches to his colleague. The new church at the Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial church was very peaceful and moving. We then visited the exterior of the Tempehof airport and looked through exhibits depicting the Berlin airlift. Throughout the tour Stefan would take us on short walks and point out the current city landscape in contrast to historical pictures of how the city was divided during the Cold War. The memorial to the Roma victims of the holocaust was very sobering. We had obtained special access tickets to visit the Reichstag glass dome in advance which was well worth the visit. The Egyptian exhibit including the Nefertiti bust at the Neuesmuseum was amazing. Stefan recommended a Bavarian restaurant for lunch that had delicious food. We highly recommend this tour as Stefan provided deep insights into the Berlin history and culture and having the driver/van allowed us to very efficiently get around the city.

Our tour was, at best, acceptable. Guide was knowledgeable but inexperienced in how to connect with people. On the plus side, we covered a lot of ground, saw Berlin in its entirety in six hours. Little regard given to our personal comfort. Driver and guide both very polite and pleasant but we had a tour, not an experience in Berlin. Have taken multiple tours through Viator and very much enjoyed them but this one was a disappointment especially for the price. Will not automatically go to Viator in future. Vehicle was not as nice as vehicles on other Viator tours. Dingy, ground in dirt on carpets. Minimally comfortable.

Amazing and informative trip with Stefan and Juergen! We learnt so much and saw so much of Berlin. 100% recommend

markklein

Stephan was very informative and spoke English very well. We really were impressed with his personalizing our tour to our needs. We enjoyed the highlights, especially the "blue church" and the tunnels people dug to cross out of East Berlin. We would never have seen these things on our own. Ended the day at a beautiful bier garden. Our driver, "George", was also very personable. The van was very comfortable. The only down-side, frankly, was the cost. It was over $800 for the four of us. That seems very high for a 6-hour tour. Other than that, I would recommend this private tour.

Marciklein

Stefan was very informative, and spoke wonderful English. Information about the escape tunnels was something we had never heard about. The honeycomb "blue" church was so simple and modern.... loved it. We asked Stefan to tailor the tour with more Jewish content and dialog and he did not disappoint. The Waterfall was gorgeous and the suggestion to end our tour at The Biergarten in the park was perfect.

Oskar the driver and Stefan our Guide were perfect. Stefan geared our tour to our personal requests. He was very knowledgeable and quite personable. Great job, Stefan

We were picked up by Stefan and our driver on time. Stefan immediately gave us the history of the neighborhood where we were staying, and then led into a well organized tour of the city with lots of information about Berlin’s history. He stopped for lunch when we were ready. He and the driver worked very well together, so we could walk, see the sights, and then get back into the van and move on. Overall, a really great way to get an overview of Berlin.

We enjoyed the historical details from the 19th century to present day balanced with humorous and informed commentary . The tour was exactly as described being professionally greeted at our hotel and accompanied with a professional driver and very well informed and entertaining tour guide made the six hours tour pass by at high speed.

Our tour with Stefan was nothing short of exceptional. With his deep knowledge and captivating storytelling, Stefan guided us through an unforgettable historical journey of East and West Berlin. Our stops included iconic landmarks such as the Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial Church, The Brandenburg Gate, the Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe, The Berlin Wall Memorial, The Reichstag Building, and the cultural treasure trove of Museum Island, among others. Stefan's ability to personalize the experience made this tour truly special. He tailored the tour to our interests and made every stop insightful and engaging. His stories brought Berlin's history to life and sparked a deeper appreciation for the city's past and present. Even our lunch break was a delight. At short notice, Stefan found a charming restaurant with fantastic vegan options catering to our dietary preferences. Even though I can't recall its name, the food and ambiance were terrific and added to the day's pleasant experiences. In addition to being a superb guide, Stefan is a genuinely kind and interesting individual. His passion for his work shines through in every story and fact he shares. I wholeheartedly recommend his tours to anyone seeking a rich and personalized exploration of Berlin. Last but not least, our driver deserves a special mention. He expertly navigated the city's streets, ensuring our journey was smooth, safe, and enjoyable. His humor added an extra layer of fun to our day.
