Myself and a group of 40 students booked a private tour with Sandemanns, and they were very flexible in sorting out our various booking needs. As 40 german students we still found the tour interesting and informative, to the extent that even in our hungover state we were quite happy to listen and walk around the city! We also appreciated...

Great way to spend a few hours. Myself and my girlfriend had wandered round Berlin seeing some sights ourselves the previous day, but having a very well educated tour guide in David to give us history and stories and offer up thoughts and opinions on items really made the day. Would highly recommend this if you are at all interested... More

Our free tour guide was David. He really knew his stuff. The tour was packed with loads of information about the history of Berlin and Germany in general. He made the tour really interesting with all the facts he knew about all of the places we visited. He pointed out a few places we should visit on our own too.... More

Great tour - you really get a sense of the city - it's history and why it is what it is. You see most of the sights you probably already have on your to do list and it's it's super easy to double back for extra pictures if you want. If you go in winter - bundle up!! More

Highly recommended. Sam the British history PhD student was highly informative and entertaining. Well worth a tip! Enquired about a similar tour run by some spaniard called Carlos who varies the price according to group size and sounds like a rip off, avoid. More

Excellent tour. 3 hours and I think we covered most of the main sites. I think it would have taken me days on my own to cover as much ground. Well worth doing. More

A quality New Europe tour (as usual!) in Berlin with Barry. Barry managed to give us tons of information in an engaging way. He is clearly passionate and knowledgeable about Communist Berlin. I'd recommend his tours to any of my friends. More

We did the "free tour" as an alternative view of Berlin in November. Rob from Manchester was our guide for the 4+ hour walk around historic Berlin. He is infatuated with Berlin to say the least. He even learned German to study the city in the native tongue. The tour gave an excellent view of the sad history of this... More

Loved every bit of this tour. Our guide (leen) was amazing and knew Berlin back to front. She totally clarified everything we did and didn't know about Berlin. She was able to answer all questions we had and was obviously very passionate about the city. Great way to start a holiday in Berlin as it puts everything in perspective. Definitely... More
