Our half day Tour with Guide Rob was an outstanding Berlin experience. Rob was very engaging, very knowledgeable & well prepared. This tour wrapped up our 4 days in Berlin perfectly by consolidating some of the things we already knew, new things & places we just spent 3 days experiencing, with a fully rounded German history lesson. right before your eyes. We learnt new things, and visited places that we'd missed in the first 3 days., and our Berlin vacation was all the better for it. Even if you have just 1 day in Berlin, take Rob's tour, you'll experience far more than a hop on/ off bus. I highly recommend this tour.Guide was excellent Stories were well shared and sights were well thought out Be ready for extensive walking
