Traveler reviews
Large Group Size... not ideal
This tour was disappointing only due to the fact that they allow large groups. Berlin has such important history, and our tour guide certainly was knowledgeable; however, when you are one of 25 people in a group, there are multiple times on the tour when you could not hear the guide or see what he was pointing at unless you were front and center, which is not possible at every stop. Some of this tour is along busy streets, at which point we just gave up trying to listen in, as car noise made it impossible. If you really want a better experience, I would find a tour that has small groups. **Full disclosure, after the tour I went back to read the fine print on the details, which clearly says groups can be as big as 30 people; I just didn't see it, unfortunately.
Interesting
Will was an excellent guide. He was so knowledgeable about the history and the places visited. A good sized group enabling us to hear everything and move from place to place with ease.
This was a very enjoyable...
This was a very enjoyable walking/history tour. We learned a lot and it was fascinating to see the locations of WW 2 and Cold War history in real life. Campbell is a student of history and really brought the story together for us. We highly recommend.
Great intro to Berlin in the 20th century
Focussed introduction to some of the key sites of Berlin and it’s history in the 20th Century. Ariel was an informative guide and had some interesting visual back ups. Was more like 2h30 which is what you need and a good pointer to places to follow up.
Best use of limited time in Berlin
Excellent tour and outstanding guide. Just the right pace and level of detail.
