This walking tour surpassed all our expectations. Suffice it to say that Markus was a total revelation and we definitely got our money’s worth by an order of magnitude. The walking tour was fresh and intriguing, the itinerary innovative and surprising, and Markus is everything that you could ever wish for in a tour guide: he’s cultivated, open-minded, funny, and aware of even the lesser-discussed aspects of German/European history. From what he told us, he has a PhD in History, which explains how come he knows so much about more niche issues, such as the Roma community and a bunch of other counter stream topics. The trivia he shared with us while walking the streets of Berlin together was as savory as the complimentary burger and fries that we received at the end of the tour. It goes without saying that this experience comes highly recommended and I would not hesitate to embark on it again the next time I’m in Berlin!dominic_negrici

Iona was very knowledgeable and answered all questions. The tour has been the best part of the holiday. I learned so much which I wouldn't have known without the tour. 100% would recommend to anyone coming to Berlin (even if you have seen the sights).
