Exceptional guide, complete journey - Paul was a thoughtful, sharp and effective guide. We wandered efficiently with a pleasant group for 3 hours on key places in Berlin. Guaranteed emotions, historical facts and anecdotes abound.
Paul was fine, has remarkable historical knowledge and even took time with us after everyone left to answer our last questions and advise us on things for the 31st eve.
