Berlin, oh, Berlin! Originating as a simple hamlet, it evolved into the heart of a powerful kingdom, then an empire, endured the gloom and segregation of the Nazi and Communist periods, and re-emerged in all its splendour as the quintessential capital of European erudition, fashion, and innovation - indeed, a location ripe with narratives!

Family friendly and highly recommended! - Niyema was excellent - very knowledgeable, entertaining and catered for everyone with stories and information. She was very engaging and provided just the right amount of information without overloading. Also had plenty of time to take in the sites, wander through the memorial - never felt rushed or unable to take everything in. Highly recommend!!

Brilliant experience - We recently did the Welcome to Berlin Walkative tour with Ru as our guide and he was absolutely fantastic. The tour was interesting, sad in places but Ru made it such a great experience with his knowledge about the history of the city. Absolutely recommend if you're lucky enough to visit this amazingly vibrant city!

Great tour - It was a very interesting and (thankfully) deeper introduction to Berlin than expected. In addition to Berlin's history, JR (or RJ? sorry I can't remember anymore) gave us great tips regarding free museums (and we did visit some of them and weren't disappointed). Be prepared that the tour does not end where it starts and it requires stamina :-)
