A Fascinating Morning Learning About the Berlin Wall - Our guide, Aurel G., was terrific and had his own personal connection with the subject matter. He shared excellent knowledge about the conditions and politics of the time, and we enjoyed his tour very much.

One of our Favorites - Steve was an incredible tour guide. Would HIGHLY recommend him. Very knowledgeable and even though it was my second trip to Berlin (first for my husband), Steve still made sure that I saw new things and learned so much! I especially loved seeing the memorial to the wall.

Excellent Tour and Guide - This tour was amazing! It was a rainy day, so our family ended up getting a private tour, as we were the only ones to show up. Steven was our tour guide, and he was simply outstanding. He was very knowledgeable and personable. Though we'd seen a couple of places we went on other tours, this one provided much more in-depth information. Also, there are several places you can see parts of the Berlin Wall, but this tour takes you to the Berlin Wall Memorial where you see much more than just the wall. Having Steven to provide commentary regarding escape attempts, successful and unsuccessful, was great; it was interesting to hear the various ways West Germans tried to help those trapped in the East. So much more; the main thing is that you can visit the memorial on your own, but having a great tour guide will significantly enhance the experience.
