We got lucky with our Tour and Tour Guide Carlos. We were able to take our time and he pointed out so many things that we had seen before but didn't know the history behind it. 3 Hours may not sound like a lot but you are definitely beat afterwards.

Carlo, a native Berliner, was our guide for a group of nine friends and we all loved him. In addition to being very personable and knowledgeable, he added a lot of personal stories as he has lived Berlin's history intimately which brought this already lively city even more alive for all of us. This is not a cheap tour but it is worth every Euro and more. We ran at least 30 minutes over the three hours and he would have kept going if we didn't have another appointment. Great tour, great guide, highly recommended.

I had a tour of Berlin previously and was disappointed we were not given much opportunities to photograph the key sites. With this walking tour guide the two of us were given a private tour as we were the only two to sign up this particular day for the 2:00 PM tour. The guide gave us a spectacular one on one tour. He was highly knowledgeable and we were given plenty of time to photographic these historic sites. I would recommend this tour to anyone with the ability to walk for 3 hours.
