A brilliant all-round intro to Berlin - Maria was a wonderful guide, imbuing a real sense of the personal with the historic so that the spirit of Berlin came to life. Lots of facts and stories I was not aware of made this a powerful and special introduction to the city.

Tour Guide Eran was FANTASTIC!! - What an absolutely phenomenal tour. Eran was our guide and if I could give him 10 stars, I would. Personable, conscientious, and knowledgeable. Eran knows his history and seems to be a living history book. He is not afraid of being honest and speaks the truth as it is. I appreciated the personal stories and reflections he included in the tour and the historical places we visited. It brought the history to life and made it even more memorable. We covered The Brandenburg Gate, Checkpoint Charlie, The Reichstag, remnants of the Berlin Wall, life in the Soviet Zone, the Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe, among many other places of interest. I find having a guide for all of this history to be of great importance so that you can get everything out of your visit. It illuminated my knowledge of history.
