Soviet 3rd Shock Army/79th Rifle Corps Assault on the Reichstag in the Battle for Berlin. - Steve is an absolutely terrific professional guide. He is highly knowledgeable, organized, thoroughly prepared, and delivers a fun and interactive battlefield touring experience. Walking over the ground in Berlin where the final battle for the Reichstag took place was highly evocative and made me like I had a first hand account of the savage fighting in those fateful days of late April and early May in 1945. I highly recommend this tour!

Fantastic, meaningful, spirtual - Our experience last week was truly educational, deeply spiritual, and incredibly meaningful. Steve, our guide, brought everything to life with his engaging, friendly, and fun approach. Over three days, we explored key Berlin battle sites, Soviet war cemeteries, Seelow, and many significant Jewish and Holocaust landmarks across the city. We highly recommend On the Front Tours and will definitely use them again on our next visit to Berlin.

I highly recommend these tours. - I have to say this tour was excellently put together by Front Line Tours and delivered by Jochen. His ability to build a story line and deliver it is an easy and understandable way is an exceedingly rare skill. Well, done Jochen. I highly recommend these tours.

Informative and engaging - Very knowledgeable guide who tailors the guide based on the participant’s knowledge and interests. Shares before and after photos of the battle sites to give context to each stop. Additional information about the history of each location is also presented. The very definition of an insider’s guide to the battle.

Very engaging snapshot into these critical few weeks and days of the war - Our guide, Steve, was fantastic! The info he gave was engaging and he really brought to life what happened in those final few weeks and hours. We had to adapt the tour slightly due to a biblical rain storm, but that didn't really matter as we had already seen the main sites we were going to visit, it was just great to hear his narrative. My 11 year old really enjoyed it, and was recanting some facts and figures to his pals once we returned home.

Cancelled last minute - Trip cancelled night before, to continue we were asked to pay fee of additional €110 if we wished to go as a private tour. As this was too expensive we cancelled and rebooked a different tour for €18 with a different company and it was great.
