Went on a walking tour with Jake from Original Berlin Walks 29/10 around Berlin. Would suggest good shoes and pack a coat incase it’s rains, this tour is about 4hrs of walking but don’t let put you off as the time goes so quickly. We stopped for a drink part way through so don’t worry if you don’t pack snacks. We went to museum island, university, Berlin Wall and many more places along the way. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable, friendly and answered any questions we had. Overall lots of interesting places and information. A great day

This company saved my trip! I already had booked a free tour with another company that unfortunately cancelled less than 24h in advance. I saw the advertisement of Original Berlin Walks and booked a tour for the next day. I booked a tour to discover Berlin for 3.5/4h and Gal (our guide) was terrific! He explained very good all the information and made the tour very personal and incredibly interesting. I did not miss any important places that I wanted to visit, which is a huge plus! Apart from historical facts he also included funny anecdotes that made us get to know the German history in another way. I specially liked the way he explained the WWII facts, from the respect and remembrance to all the victims of Holocaust. We also did a lunch break and he brought us to a very local cafeteria to chill for a bit. It was delicious. Very very recommended!

Our tour with Joel was probably the best I've been on. Despite the awful weather he kept me interested throughout. I'd definitely recommend it.

Our tour guide was Emma and she rocked! She was full of information, historical facts, and cultural tips. She really made our tour experience special. Even took some time after the tour ended to answer additional questions, provide recommendations, and pointers on what to see.
