Must do!

Maria is fantastic, so knowledgeable and will really take you through everything and bring it to life. Not too fast paced- perfect balance with stops, walking, transport and a quick take away coffee

Walking tour with some public transport!!

We met Paul at the train station. He helped us buy a days train pass which we weren’t expecting but it got us over the phobia of using public transport. We went into a small but very interesting museum about the suddenness of the separation of Berlin. Here Paul gave us a super introduction. We jumped on and off trains while we heard about the situation of Berlin during this particular era. It was super interesting!!

A fascinating insight into Cold War Berlin.

Jamie was a brilliant guide- incredibly knowledgeable, really happy to answer as many questions as we could throw at him and full of interesting stories. Cannot recommend highly enough.
