Review of Berlin’s 2-hour Third Reich and Cold War walking tour, covering the Wall, Checkpoint Charlie, Nazi sites, guides, price, and practical tips.
“Mikhail was an incredible tour guide. He was so knowledgeable about this city’s history. Would recommend to anyone wanting to learn more about Berlin’s history.”
Walk Berlin’s Third Reich and Cold War landmarks in two focused hours, from Brandenburg Gate to Checkpoint Charlie, with an English-speaking guide.
“The tour was easy to find since the guides had their pink umbrellas. Checking in with the tickets was also a seamless process. Our tour guide, Mikhail, was very knowledgeable and engaging. We learned a lot about Berlin, and appreciated how he connected history to the present. His use of historical images at certain stops also helped contextualize where we were standing and what had happened there. Seeing where Hitler’s bunker stood was unreal. The two hour timing is perfect, and the ending by Checkpoint Charlie makes good sense.”

Review of Hamburg’s 2-hour harbor cruise to Blankenese, with Elbphilharmonie views, Airbus, container docks, costs, tips, and drawbacks.
“We really enjoyed the boat trip. Lots of interesting things to see . However , we did find it difficult as non German speakers to understand everything that was seen . It was obvious that the German tour guide was being well received and entertaining , so we did feel quite left out . We were not offered audio guides .”
Review of Düsseldorf’s 2-hour evening Rhine cruise with live DJ, city views, sunset, onboard drinks, price, practical tips, and drawbacks.
“Vielleicht lag es am Donnerstag, den wir gebucht hatten + am schlechten Wetter, aber es war leider absolut lahm. Keinerlei Stimmung, niemand getanzt in- oder Outdoor alle saßen Spießig unter sich an ihren Tischen und haben gegessen und gesittet getrunken. Null Stimmung. Alles sehr sehr groß daher verläuft es sich auch sehr. Und wenn man indoor sitzt kann man sobald es dunkel ist nicht mehr wirklich rausgucken da sich alles von innen in den Scheiben spiegelt, man muss also raus. Aber das ist eben nur bei gutem Wetter möglich. Ich würde es nicht nochmal machen.”
