Natalie was our tour guide and she was excellent. We found her to be very knowledgeable, enthusiastic and friendly. She had lots of information to help us understand all that we were seeing and presented it in a comprehensive manner and effectively answered questions along the way. We found the tour very informative from start to finish. We’ve booked through Viator in many different countries over the years and to this point we have not been disappointed.

Enjoyable and informative - absolutely would recommend. Rohan was supremely knowledgeable, funny, and well able to maintain engaging rapport with both individuals and the whole group.

Toured Berlin with Padraic (Patrick), great guide, very knowledgeable and with a great sense of humor with appropriate timing. Highly recommend him and the tour.

Excellent tour! Just what I needed at a business trip to wrap up the week and to really appreciate history. A must in Berlin!

Excellent tour, especially for the price, and Theo our guide was extremely informative and engaging. He was thorough with the history but kept us moving at a great pace. Highly recommend!

Fantastic tour of Berlin highlights.. Lewis, our tour guide, was terrific - knowledgeable and entertaining. By the end of the tour, we had a good sense of Berlin’s history and places we wanted to return to visit.

Tour guide Leon was excellent. He skilfully blended the good, bad and ugly aspects of Berlin’s complex history and delivered an excellent commentary in English, full of light and shade. He has a genuine interest in his subject and his presentation isn’t a recited script, as he can tailor the talk to respond to guests’ questions. It’s great value for money and thoroughly recommended. You’ll need comfy shoes for this 4hr tour as it includes cobblestone and gritted areas. Take gloves as it can be cold, especially if you’re taking the first tour of the day.

Good interesting tour, lots of interesting bits I would have missed on my own. Had tour guide Patrick, good pace for me and we did get a break in the middle. Explanations were detailed and lots of opportunities for questions, but not too heavy.
