“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.”
