“This was a great fun way to get round many of the must see sights in Berlin. We toured with Thor who was a great guide. He gave us a “history lesson” which was interesting and easy to understand. This was our first day in Berlin and it gave us an overview and an idea of the sights we wanted to visit in more depth over the next couple of days. Thor also spent time giving us suggestions of other things to see and areas to visit which were off the tourist track.”

“Had the best time at the vagabund braureri. We arrived 15 minutes early and were given a welcome beer, they were waiting on two other groups.
