Igor was special in so many ways! It’s rare that you get a guy that actually has lived the history. He gave us additional things to do during our state and a small gift of appreciation at the end. We are very well informed and our tour was very personal. We would highly recommend him!

"Crafted to interest each of us"
"Nina was exceptional. She crafted a tour to interest my two teenagers, my wife and myself. We all have drastically different interests and historical knowledge, yet Nina found a way to speak to each of us. Oh, and she did this thru constant rain! 5 Stars!"

Don’t just take our word for it
Dora was an excellent guide. Not only was she extremely knowledgeable about Germany’s history, but she was very friendly and personable. She was very enthusiastic about showing us around Berlin, but also asked us for input about what we were interested in seeing. She also gave us suggestions of places we could go later on our own. All in all, the tour was a very worthwhile experience because of Dora.
Wonderful guide. Very knowledgable
