About the operator
- Z8429MVmeganb00Brilliant 👏Our guide Xavier was amazing. Incredibly knowledgeable and I learned so much! He went well over and above! We saw so many important historical places and his explanations were so clear and his depth of knowledge amazing. If I had time id do his tour again just to soak more of the information in.
- mikepK5453ER00Excellent guide and visitAn extremely interesting and thought provoking visit - would highly recommend! A big thank you to Anja our guide who was very helpful with the practicalities of the day as well as delivering information in such a respectful as well as thoughtful way
- J7019ARmarkp00Great 3-hour tour of sites in central BerlinTina was a great guide; enthusiastic and knowledgeable. We saw many of the important sites in central Berlin. I highly recommend this tour.
- rachelvin00Great walking tour with a great guideHighly recommended, Paul a great guide catering for all levels of knowledge. The tour itself very interesting and had a great time.
- rogerpV8940NH00Really interesting tour, excellent organisationSuperb, informative and delivered really well by our tour guide, Paul. Paul’s knowledge of German history was excellent and he was a really engaging guide. Highly recommend.
- sharonmom00Glen was great!Glen was GREAT! He is so interesting and informative. I learned a lot! It was really a great experience.
- J L00Brilliant introduction to BerlinOren was our guide and he was superb. Loud and clear and with a great deal of knowledge. We found the tour is just right for our teenagers who really enjoyed it. I’d say a good introduction to Berlin and gives you ideas of things to further ecxplore.
- Taylor A00Great experience!Very educational and great tour experience! My grandparents came and were able to make it, but it was quite a lot of walking (which was to be expected). Our tour guide Ioana did a great job explaining each of the sites.
- ramakishoreg202300Total waste of time#Inside tour guy:The tour guide barely covered major attractions like Brandenburg gate. He spent so much time talking on his personal political beliefs and his ideologies rather than covering facts. He wasn't watching time and kept on making us wait on random street corners and he was talking endlessly. He didn't give an outline on what he is going to cover during the tour nor did he let any of us talk. I wouldn't recommend this tour to anyone. Total waste of time. I would have learnt more if I walked over by myself.
- G7310OKgordonw00Remembering HistoryThis was a goal to visit a concentration camp to appreciate the suffering of the WW2. Martin was great
- stevies39700Great intro to Berlin!Fantastic tour with amazing tour guide Daniel. He was full of knowledge and interesting facts. He was so friendly and open and made the best experience. The tour has a lot of walking but hits all the spots for an into to Berlin! Would recommend 100%. Also value for money.
- spross5700Great Tour - NOT for the Elderly / Difficulties with WalkingYou meet at the train station, walk around Berlin for an hour for a city tour, catch a train to the camp, walk another 30-40 minutes to the site and this is where the concentration camp tour begins. The rest of the tour has no opportunity for water, lunch or a break so be prepared. There was an elderly man who was exhausted just from walking to the camp he sat our front for the rest of the time. Be prepared! Tour guide was great, no issues with him!
- KWhis00Fabulous tour guideGregor was an outstanding guide. He not only showed us major historical sights mainly in what used to be East Berlin, he explained a lot of the history. I would highly recommend this tour.
- lindapS3978UX00Highly recommendedExcellent tour - Campbell was extremely knowledgeable and he managed to convey historical facts in an engaging & entertaining manner- highly recommend this tour
- Alina S00Amazing Tour with AsafThe tour guide “ASAF” was amazing! Had a great time and he showed us so much & explained everything very well! He was very care taking and made sure everyone was together. We experienced a lot and learned a lot. Had a great time / tour. :)

Although native English speakers we, being Israelis, chose to do the Jewish walking tour of Berlin with a Hebrew speaking guide. Sharon was an excellent guide, well informed, interesting and offered insight into many aspects of German/Jewish relationships.

This is a full 4 hour walk, and we had an excellent guide in 'Orr'. We saw the site of the old synagogue, and the heard the story of how the wives saved their jewish husbands from the Nazis, and the poignant sculpture of the man on the bench (if you ignore what happens, then they will come for you next). We saw the Hackenschen Hoefe complex, the Blindenwerkstaff Museum, where Otto Weidt (a sort of Schindler) helped Jews in danger. We also saw the 'missing house' - a reminder about all victims from war and bombing, and also the old cemetery where Jews were buried, and the Nazis removed most of the headstones. Also the 'new' synangogue, which partly survived the allied bombing, and the magnificent rebuilt roof of the dome. We also learned about the Jewish population and what became of many during the Nazi period. An excellent tour.

Daphna was our guide for the Jewish tour of Berlin and she was excellent. We didn't realize how good she was until we did 2 other different tours and her delivery and knowledge was far superior than the others. The tour was perfect in giving us a good understanding of Jewish history then and now. I would highly recommend this company, this specific tour and try to get Daphna.

Sharon gave a fantastic tour on Jewish Berlin. Her knowledge of German-Jewish history is amazing and her view as an Israeli very interesting and fascinating.
Additionally to her knowledge she was aware of her guests in terms of breaks and times to rest and sit down. Very good on a long walking tour!

Daphna (Fafi), was an excellent tour guide. Her tour was extremely informative and interesting. Fafi made Jewish history in Berlin come alive and she took us to fascinating places. She is passionate about her work, Jewish history and world politics. We highly recommend Fafi and this tour. Thank you! Wendy and Michele, Canada

We were part of a fairly small group on this 3 hour walking tour. Our guide Oren was terrific. He gave us a thorough review of Jewish history, life and sites in Berlin in an informative and objective manner. We covered many sites and in each case Oren was very knowledgeable and engaging. He made sure that we had enough breaks to pace the tour and the 3 hours went by very quickly. We also covered some sites of general interest that are not covered in most general Berlin tours.

These are walking tours and they take groups of people - so two people turning up is fine.

The tour does not include any of the usual tourist attractions in Berlin. We took a wonderful free tour for those sights. This tour talked about the Jewish history of Berlin from the time the first Jews came there. The sights only included those pertaining to Jews in Berlin, mostly during WW2.
