We asked Andreas for a tour for our family that would bring the history of Berlin to life while taking us off the beaten track and giving us some street art to view. By agreement, he didn't tell us where we were going and took us on a magical mystery tour which included visiting the fascinating Teufelsberg Hill. With three kids in our group, Andreas hit the nail on the head by taking us somewhere different and away from the crowds. He was a very knowledgeable and personable guide, we all enjoyed talking and learning from him - and would absolutely recommend him and City Unscripted.

We took the tour : Berlin: Times of Love and War Alessandra Tomaselli was our guide. My wife and I did not know what to expect but had high expectations to learn about Berlin and the Cold War. We met Alessandra at a very convenient location; very prompt (kind of a big thing for me). Alessandra guided us to key Cold War historical spots and told a concise story in a timeline manner; unbelievably education for us. Alessandra also took us to several Berlin foodie locations to give us a perspective of life in Berlin today. Very delicious!!! We had a great four hours; It was having you friend guide you through their city! Awesome!! George and Kate
