Interesting and engaging walking tour covering all the highlights of WWII and the Cold War.

This two hour WWII and Cold War walking tour by Original Berlin Walks was just about the right length for a walking tour on a very hot day and covered all the highlights without feeling rushed. Our guide, Dylan, was very interesting and engaging and dealt with the topic with sensitivity. He clearly was very knowledgeable in the subject area and was able to answer questions with depth and breadth. The group size was not too large either so it was easy to hear Dylan and felt more personal. This tour is ideal for first timers to Berlin with an interest in history. The price of the tour was very reasonable and good value for money. Would definitely recommend.
