“Tour guide was friendly and very knowlegeable but was not easy to follow as he walked, as he had no identification eg hat or flag. The tour could have been improved with the service of a bus to take the tourist group to each of the three markets.”

“Our tour guide was very knowledgeable about the area, and was able to give us some good information on Berlin. We enjoyed the second Christmas Market he took us to. The first was more like an American fair, so we asked to go to a traditional market, and he took us there. We had a really good time.”
