We had a great (if freezing) half day Berlin Discovery Tour with Tobi. I think it showed how informative and engaging he was as he didn't lose any customers in the Baltic conditions! Also need to mention the amazing customer service from Lars, the MD of Original Berlin Walks who sorted out a booking glitch for us from his holiday in South Africa. I think the service is evident from the 'top down' in the way the customers are looked after. Thanks so much, Tobi and Lars, highly recommended!

We booked the Berlin walking tour and our guide was a lovely English guy called Walid. He was full of great information, was very witty and was had a great way of telling us stories about this wonderful city. The tour was about 3 hours long but it certainly didn't feel that way. I can't recommend this highly enough and we'll definitely use walking tours on other city breaks we take. Once again, Walid was excellent and really made the tour memorable.

An absolutely fantastic walking tour of Berlin! Our guide Emma was incredibly knowledgeable, engaging, and brought the city’s complex history to life in a way that was both informative and moving. We covered so much ground—from Berlin Wall, Museum Island to hidden corners I never would’ve found on my own—and the stories and context really made Berlin feel alive. The pace was perfect, questions were always welcomed, and it never felt rushed or boring. Whether it’s your first time in Berlin or you think you already know the city, this tour adds so much depth and understanding. Highly recommend—one of the highlights of our trip!

I was in Berlin for a brief weekend stay and cannot recommend this tour highly enough. It was my first time to this amazing city and the tour was curated perfectly and our guide, Glen was superb. His knowledge of the city and its extensive and often complex history was first class. I thought the timing of the tour was spot on (not too short, not too long) and I thought Glen’s occasional humour in his fantastic narration often helped to lighten the mood and bring some needed balance as there are some quite somber moments when exploring Berlin’s history as I’m sure everyone can appreciate. I would recommend doing this tour early in your itinerary as you will be able to gain a good idea of areas you’d like to explore more, or get tips on some of Berlin’s many other hidden gems!

Walid our tour guide had great stories about the history of the city. He had thoughtful reflections on the important memorials of the different periods in history. And was also very friendly and with a good sense of humor.

Fabulous tour. Glen was fantastic. 10 out of 10. Super clear. Intelligent and perfectly timed. His love of history and his thoughtful knowledge was everything I could have asked for. Been on many tours in the world - this is one of the best. The best.
