Jimmy the legend! - Had a tour with Jimmy! What a genuine and knowledagble guy! He answered every question I threw at him with passion and more importantly, the answer!
The tour last around 4 hours or so and it flew by. It was excellent. I would personally recommend this tour. It really will answer some of those questions!

Guided Berlin walk - Very informative guided walk thanks wholly to our absolutely excellent guide Waldi. (Probably not spelling that correctly, but he is English/Bangladeshi) Cannot praise his commentary highly enough. Would highly recommend.

Excellent Tour with Campbell - My wife and I took their Discover Berlin Tour which was very good. We were scheduled to leave @ 10:30 but we had a full group of 27 @ 10:15 so we left then and finished around 1:45 at Checkpoint Charlie. (Note that some tours end at the Brandenburg Gate.)
Campbell, our tour guide, was very good - both informative and funny. He is an Australian so we didn’t have any language issues.
The tour was well-paced and we covered a large number of sights. We usually go on smaller tours but this one worked well and we got a lot out of it.

Interesting but cold - We had a very interesting but a little bit cold tour with our guide Annika who did a great job. The stop at Checkpoint Charlie could have been a few minutes longer.
