Philipps is a fantastic guide and shared with us his vast knowledge of the history of Berlin and its historic buildings. He spoke loud and clear all along. The tour provided us with the knowledge we needed to continue our exploration of Berlin!

Tour guide Wali was exceptionally knowledgeable and a great story teller about the history of Berlin in a way that was fascinating yet not overwhelming so that you could take it all in. Oh, his sense of humour was hilarious too

A wonderful tour with a well informed guide Ania B. She has a charming, endearing personality and was very well informed.Her tour was both entertaining and well structured. It was a shame that we had to leave the tour at the halfway stop as my wife tripped and fell and needed medical attention. Ania was fantastic with her response and organised paramedic care and her caring nature was exemplary. The tour carried on without us but strangely enough an hour and a half later we bumped into her group on the way to our hotel. We felt like friends for life. A huge thank you to all involved.

This walking tour was the best I have ever done and this was in no small part due to the quality of our guide. Anja O was warm, welcoming, highly knowledgeable and displayed a passion for her job that was infectious. We learned so much from this amazing lady and started to “feel” Berlin on an emotional level as well as becoming so much better informed. Cannot recommend this tour highly enough.
