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!
