Our Day in Berlin! - We are a group of 14 friends on a motor coach of the city of Berlin. Our fabulous tour guide was Winfried who greeted us at the train station and saw us safely back to our departure. He guided through the busy sights while skilfully giving us information and answering all our questions. We appreciated his sharing his personal experiences, especially with regard to the Berlin Wall and the time period before and then after Berlin became one. The day was as we hoped it would be, much thanks to the kindness, good nature and considerable knowledge imparted by Winfried. A note about booking, all my questions were promptly and well answered. We fourteen highly recommend A Friend in Berlin and our special tour guide, Winfried. It was freude!

Outstanding - We really enjoyed seeing the sights of Berlin but the highlight was the deep knowledge of our guide Thomas. It was apparent that he was very passionate about his work and took pride in doing research on the subject so that he would not give us any incorrect information.

Very insightful 5 hours - Had a wonderful time with Thomas who provided us great insights to the history of the city. He is extremely knowledgeable about the city and it helped us appreciate the sites a lot more. He was also flexible to plan this around the places we wanted to visit, without having a set agenda - that is a true example of a custom tour. Will be sure to repeat this in near future with our family!
