Great overview tour of the Berlin sites - Reuben was an outstanding tour guide. He is both engaging and informative. Our tour had only 10 people in it so it was almost like a private tour with plenty of time for questions and in depth descriptions of the sites. As a fist timer in Berlin,I highly recommend taking this tour for an overview of the sites and hopefully you will be lucky enough to have Reuben as your guide!

Brilliant taster Discovering Berlin - 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!

Walking tour Berlin - 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.

Amazing journey through Berlin’s deep history - 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!

Great intro tour - Walid gave an excellent introductory tour on what felt like the coldest day of the year, Christmas 2025. We got a great orientation to the city, its history, and its landmarks. Walid did his best to keep us warm, making sure we stopped in the sun rather than the shade, and ensuring we had enough stops to warm up. His warmth, humor, and comprehensive knowledge were all appreciated.
