A Berlin Essential for Tourists
What a high yield experience! Sion, our tour guide, was the best; he knew his stuff very well, turning a pleasant walk around the city into a full-on "edutainment" experience. Highly recommended to do as one of your first activities in Berlin, as it will give you an overall idea of the hotspots and best things to do.

Fun and informative tour with Nikolai! He made the history really engaging, and even though the tour lasted over 3 hours, time flew by. Be prepared for lots of walking.
