“Jasper was a great guide who made the tour come alive for the group. He was very informative and very responsive to our questions. The tour was well paced and Jasper was adept at keeping the group together, which was especially important as it involved travelling on the Berlin u-bahn to visit some of the sites. Although we had visited some of the sites before, Jasper gave us a deeper appreciation of Cold War Berlin.”
