Enjoyed tour with Steve. Went to Wall and saw pictures of those who did not make it across. - Learning how people managed to get to the west and how the GDR bricked up houses etc to prevent escapes.

The best 2 hours! - Campbell was amazing on this tour - he explains history with ease and is very engaging to listen to. He showed us a ghost station, the Berlin Wall and the surrounding area and memorial and the death strip. Campbell brings history to life and is the best tour guide. You will not be disappointed with this tour. It was amazing value for money. We were in a small group of around 10 people.

Fantastic - hope you get Quincy as your tour guide - Top 1% of educational walking tours I have ever taken, but only because of Quincy. Quincy delivered the history and stories of East Berlin in such a captivating and educational manner. Truly a gifted tour guide. We met another group who also described Quincy as captivating.

Exploring the unknown part of Berlin - Quincy was a great tour guide! Been to Berlin several times, but decided to do a tour so that I could learn more about this important time in history. The tour takes you slightly out of town, and catalogues the key moments of the wall going up and coming down. We loved it! Pace was good, small group.

extremely interesting guided tour - Our guide, Glen, was both very knowledgeable and passionate about the history of Berlin during the cold war. His guided tour was a treat for anyone who wants to better understand the East-West divide in Berlin during this period in all its complexities. Glen was great at sharing interesting facts that revealed how Berliners' everyday life had been impacted by the wall.
