fascinating tour - Will was an excellent tour guide. Very knowledgeable and friendly. As a Brit who had moved to Berlin he had a wealth of information garnered from his friends with experience of both the east and west of Berlin before the wall fell. This put him in a position to evaluate both sides alongside his extensive studying of the history of this fascinating city. I just wish I knew as much as he does about the history of this city!

Democratic Germany - Our guide was wonderful - so informative, great sense of humour and had organised many relevant sites in an easy walk for all ages. After going through the tight Communist security of Check Point Charlie in 1980, it was so enlightening to see East Germany in a liberated light and understand more recent history leading to significant memorials today. Just a must-see tour to appreciate our democratic system today.

Don't miss this especially if first visit to Berlin. Top marks!! - We are so glad that we did the 3rd reich and cold war walking tour. Our guide for the tour was Grayson, he was so knowledgeable and informative, he brought the guide to life by showing photographs throughout making this a tour about the real people that are often forgotten about. We highly recommended this tour and this guide for anyone looking to find out about the rise of Hitler and the following effects of the cold war.
