we went on a tour with Nigel and it was absolutely amazing. the trip there itself was insanely humourous and was a great way of getting to know each other and the tour itself was very informative and thought provoking as you are faced with scenes from history. definately something you should see!

I took my 84 year old Mum as she has always felt that you should try and have some real feeling of just how ghastly this was. It is an incredibly moving experience, made better by taking a guided walk rather than just the headphone walk I think. We went with Original Berlin Walks and our excellent guide, Ashleigh really...
