Our guide Natalia helped us see three different faces of Berlin (as she has been still discovering for herself and clearly falling in love with it) - beginning with the formal (governmental) district moving on to the history certainly immersing into the tragic events of the WWII, evidence (or better say - memory) of which one may easily find in abundance in the streets of Berlin (and on its buildings), and finally visiting Shpandau - an art district where the free spirit of Berlin wanders at large and makes itself seen through the impressive display of graffities (really nice ones), wall paintings, art shops with handcrafted art objects. I guess for some people a better focused tour could work better but for our (and our 13 years old daughter's) 1st visit / acquaintance with the city it was a perfect format. Even though it might be a standard route but it did not feel like following a crowd but instead looked more like a walk with an old friend who has happened to move to Berlin and is happy to show you around. Maybe the fact that Natalia is a native Russian also contributed to the atmosphere as we could easily communicate using common language. All in all it was a positive experience for us and I would gladly recommend this tour for a 1st time visitors to Berlin.

Nataly was absolutely wonderful! She brought a binder with pictures which really helped us learn what areas looked like before compared to now. We asked for her to tailor it for us—highlights in 3 hours. It included a lovely mixture of history, culture, architecture and we dropped us at a wonderful pub to experience true delicacies!
