Punctual start on our guided tour outside and inside the Reichtag. Absolutely competent guide, whose kwowledge about the stuff was exquisite. The briefing inside the plenar hall was humouristic and satisfying. We were a bit handicapped caused by our lack of German language ability. However, most of it was understood.

Our guide was lovely, welcoming, informative and wanted everyone to feel included. He was very knowledgeable about the architecture and why certain parts were built where etc. As it was in German, I did not understand everything. Inside for our Vortrag, the speaker was at times very clear - I could understand him, but at others spoke very fast Berlinish. The dome visit was excellent and summed up our whole 4 days in Berlin - all the pieces came together. All in all I think it was well thought out.

The Guide was very knowledgeable and helpful, giving us options as we did not speak much German. Although his commentary was in German which we were expecting, he provided summaries in English. The Audio devices in the Dome were in English and were activated by where you had reached in the climb up ti the top of the Dome. We opted to skip the 40 minute talk in German the Plenary Hall.
