Recommended city tour with lots of background information - Irina provided our small group with a lot of information and at one point or another also stimulated discussions. Recommended for first-time visitors, a little interest in culture and history should be present.

Must see Berlin tour - I had an absolutely amazing tour of Berlin with Eran. He was such a good guide and storyteller. The walk was very helpful for me to understand Berlin as an outsider. Thank you very much.

Excellent Berlin guide with expert and insider knowledge, and engaging manner - Tobi gave us an excellent tour of Berlin, that exceeded all expectations. This was a much more vivid, memorable and insightful history lesson than I’ve had in school or university. It finally made so much sense of what we’ve only read in books or seen in films and old newsreels. A native of the former East Berlin, Tobi gave us a remarkably vivid insight into the historical and social context of the sites we were seeing: some the dark side of Berlin, but also the beautiful and resilient side of this complex city. He brought it all to life with a real talent for placing things in a wider context that people of all ages could relate to. He was extremely well-prepared, with photos of events from the past as well, which helped make the sites we saw come alive. Tobi was very intelligent, personable, thoughtful, and engaging, upbeat and funny, interactive with all the group, and obviously had a deep knowledge of the city and the wider historical, political and social realities that influenced its development, and how it in turn influenced the wider world. That’s a lot to achieve in 3 1/2 hours, but he honestly made that happen for us. The tour was also a very good value, honest, generous, well-organised, and a comfortable pace to take in a lot of information and impressions.

Original Berlin Walk with Irina - Yesterday I was on a reconnaissance tour in Berlin. A crowd of guests gathered at the meeting point. Two groups started at the same time, one under English-speaking leadership and the other under German-speaking leadership. Funny how the crowd spread out. Most (feeling over fifteen people) were in the English-speaking group, and only I and another knowledge addict wanted to talk in German.
@Irina, our guide, gave us a private tour, so to speak. She was very committed and has always given suggestions for dialogue and exchange, which was very welcome in such a small round.
Top performance!
