Very informative and interesting. We enjoyed the illuminating and enlightening tour - packing a lot in the relatively short time we had.
smart, fun and personalized Berlin tour
Published on Jun, 2023
We loved our private tour in Berlin with Lee. He was so smart, interesting and funny. He also asked us questions about what we wanted to see and made a few pivots on the tour to cover all of the things that he thought we would enjoy. Enthusiastic and informative - I'll be sure to pass along his info to all friends visiting Berlin.
Excellent tour
Published on May, 2022
Our guide, Lee, had an incredible amount of knowledge and good humor. I was worried that the level might not be up to my history buff cousin but she couldn't have been more pleased. We would wholeheartedly recommend this tour. Just fantastic in every way.

Our guide, Dan, was brilliant, welcoming, informed and funny. It was joy to start our time in Berlin with such a deep dive into the major sites of the city. The time flew by. One of the best tours we've ever done.
Excellent tour with Peter!

Thanks so much to Peter for the fantastic afternoon. This was the orientation we needed for our first trip to Berlin. We remembered so much from the discussion during the rest of our stay. We also tried enjoyed several of your dining and museum recs! Take this tour if you are new to Berlin and then take the East Berlin tour for another memorable experience.
