Very informative....

Very informative. Knowledgable guide. Made so many aspects of the Cold War era in Berlin clear and easy to imagine.

Exciting East Berlin walking tour with Leon

Leon was a super tour guide! Despite our prior knowledge, we learned a lot of new things, heard niche stories and fun facts, and saw places that we probably would have overlooked otherwise. Leon certainly always took time for questions and spoke with a lot of enthusiasm. I would book the tour again.

Berlin Half Day Walking Tour

We did the half day walking tour through Berlin with Viator, approximately 4 hrs. We explored every sight that was of interest to us. Our guide Eleni was so knowledgeable and engaging. At each of our stops, she gave us a little history lesson. She spoke fluent English. We highly recommend this tour!
