Berlin Third Reich walking tour - awesome. - Third Reich tour by Nickolai - outstanding, highly recommended. The knowledge, passion and depth of knowledge imparted throughout the tour was truly breathtaking. Given Nickolai’s background in this Arena and his origins, it’s no wonder his passion for this shines through and makes this tour one of the best we attended on our Berlin weekend. If you get the chance when in Berlin and if Nickolai is on shift - do it.

Highly recommend this tour! - Maggie was our tour guide and she really was outstanding. Her love for the city of Berlin is very evident. Her knowledge of the history is great but beyond that, she has the ability to express it to others in a way that is accessible and also gives new perspectives. I would highly recommend this tour.
