Lots of info! - Great guide. Very informative. Scott was great. Knowledgeable. Went above and beyond with the group. English was good. Even though he warned that he may speak quick (he didn’t). Would recommend. Had answers to all of our questions.

Very informative and interesting - Our guide was fantastic. It was an interactive tour where we were free to ask anything. We learnt so much and were in awe at the memorials which we might have missed had we not guided. Both sides. Stories of loss and triumph amidst results of misguided human egos and working from a place of fear. All this stuff is happening now, very thought provoking. The Topography of Terror museum was amazing. Well paced tour through gardens.

Interesting, informative and engaging. - What an interesting tour! I wanted to gain more information about WW2 history in Berlin and this tour did not disappoint. From start the finish, the tour was packed full of facts and detail and we were always given time to clarify our understanding and explore different monuments on the tour. Our guide also continued to check in with us to ensure we understood his Scottish accent. Great value for money.

Take the tour! - Scott was a great tour guide! We were a small group of 8. He arrived on time and spoke English clearly. He had a wealth of information and knowledge. We never felt rushed. He answered all questions and he gave us time to take in and explore the monuments. We learned a lot! Highly recommend taking the tour!
