Darren organized a walking tour of Berlin for us. We've organized similar tours in several European cities and this, by far, was the best. Despite the cold, Darren was able to give us so much information about Berlin, from origins, to city history and the politics and rise and fall of Berlin in WWII. He was extraordinarily informative and was able to weave history to present day and back politically and socially.. He took us to some haunting and historical milestone sites that weren't marked and was really able to portray what it might have been like living in Berlin at different points in history. We would highly recommend using Darren!

Natalia was very knowledgeable on Berlin in WWII and the Cold War. Her stories and information were very informative and enjoyable. We had a wonderful time on our 3 hour walking tour with her. I would highly recommend a tour with her when you visit Berlin.

Blake gave us all of the historical context we needed and gave as a thorough tour of the city center. Just what we needed to start our visit to Berlin. Would recommend this tour, because you can discuss the agenda ahead of time and make sure to visit the areas of interest to you.
