Being able to see the actual battlefield area. It gave me a better understanding of the battle. The tour guide was knowledgeable. He had large maps of the battle to help us understand the battle. He was also very considerate of the slowest walker (me). I was impressed with his preparation, He had water for us, fruit and cookies if we wanted. I would take another tour from him.

Don’t hesitate for one more second — book a tour with ‘On The Front Tours’ now! Matt was absolutely phenomenal and exceeded every expectation we had for our tour. So much so, we booked ANOTHER tour with him a day later. My husband is a huge WWII history buff and was so impressed with all of Matt’s extensive knowledge, experience, and comparative photographs he brought to the tour. He truly makes you feel as if you are standing in the middle of all the war action no matter where your tour takes place. He was even able to keep me engaged for 7+ hours and I am not into history the way my husband is. Matt is an all around wonderful person, very easy to talk to, and makes you feel so welcome from the second you meet. I warn you not to waste your time with the €20 tour from a random person/company. I compared ‘On The Front’ to everyone and I am 110% positive I made the best decision booking them. Do not hesitate to book with ‘On The Front Tours’. There is no company in Berlin that can beat them — I promise — they are worth it!

When I booked this trip for my husband, I thought “yawn”, be the nice wife and go along! Can I say that I was not bored at all…. Matt is extremely engaging and very knowledgeable which made the day. From agreeing to a hotel pickup prior to the tour at a cost which we were happy to pay. To tea and cake in Seelow heights, water, plenty of bathroom stops and a fantastic lunch to end the day. Each stop told a story and being able to walk the battlefield and trenches gave you a greater perspective of what the Russian army had to endure. A lot is known about the western front and it was amazing to discuss the eastern front. The tour is about 7-8 hours but it flys by… disappointed now we did not book another tour with the group. I would highly recommend for any wife, but wear boots for the journey into the fields

"I first read about the Seelow Heights about 50 years ago when I read Cornelius Ryan's book, "The Last Battle" as a teenager. It has exerted a fascination for me ever since. A distant battle both in time and place. When I decided to visit Berlin on a battlefield trip, I checked out the guided tour options and was delighted to see that On the Front Tours (OFT) offered a trip to the Seelow Heights, so I booked it immediately. I wasn't disappointed as it was a full day trip expertly led by Jorge, who took us not only to the Heights and the museum, but to other memorials as well. We ended our day at Jahnsfelde where Jorge told us about the last stand there by the German 18th Artillery regiment, where they destroyed about 100 Russian tanks. On the practical side, Jorge attended to our every comfort and we were liberally supplied with refreshments at our lunch break. The tour is excellent value for money and I would recommend it to anyone with an interest in the Eastern Front". I would certainly go again when I next visit Berlin."

Matt was our guide and he was incredible. Very knowledgeable, friendly, and you can tell he has a passion for history. The tour was well-designed, as you follow the stages of the battle from the actual locations.

Fantastic Tour, nicely in depth, yet approachable for someone who doesn't know the subject. Highly recommend.

Very informative tour. We saw the key locations involved with the battle and learned much about the events that occurred there. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable, helpful, and gracious. We had a wonderful experience.

Matt was a fantastic guide, very knowledgeable and informative during the tour. He made sure everyone in the group was included; taking the time and effort to get to know us all personally. This was such a highlight of our trip, we left with a greater understanding of the battle and were thoroughly impressed by Matt's professionalism and enthusiasm.

This was an excellent tour, well tailored to small groups and solo travelers like myself. Matt is an extremely knowledgeable guide who was prepared to answer in depth any question you could have. He also did a good job of keeping us moving so we could see everything.

This was an awesome experience! You don’t need to know anything before you come as Matt is is knowledgeable and passionate about this war! It was so surreal to see everything first hand and stood where the battle took place. Matt then took us to an authentic German place for lunch and it was the best meal I’ve had in forever! Could not recommend this tour enough!

Beyond their knowledge and passion, our guide possessed a natural charisma that fostered a strong sense of camaraderie among the tour group. They managed to create an inclusive and friendly atmosphere, which enhanced the overall experience. I left the tour with a newfound appreciation for history and a deeper understanding of the sacrifices made by those who fought in the Battle of Seelow Heights. Our guide, Matt, showed his dedication to preserving and sharing this pivotal moment in history left a lasting impression on me. I wholeheartedly recommend The Battle of Seelow Heights tour to anyone with an interest in history or a desire to connect with the past. Matt’s expertise, passion, and charisma made this tour an unforgettable journey through history that I will cherish forever. Thank you for an exceptional experience!

So much knowledge and well worth the journey to a area little written about but absolutely vital , our guide answered every question but sometimes rudely interrupted, food in our restaurant was fantastic unlike the weather raining ☔️ guide had umbrellas ☔️ for us lovely touch

Wonderful tour! Matthew, the tour guide, was very funny and knowledgeable. At each stop, a complete timeline was explained to help understand the events that took place during this battle. The restaurant that we stopped at for lunch was amazing! Would recommend this tour.

Very amazing tour. Only 1,5h and you are in a beautiful landscape. Difficult to imagine the dark past of 1945. One of the most bloody battles of WWII - the last resist of Germany towards beeing occupied by the Red Army. You also learn about all the fails in that war - on both sides. We all went home full of impressions. Matt is an expert and knows how to transfer his knowledge also to less professional people.

Exceptional, thorough tour of Seeliow Heights battleground!. Highly recommend! Excellent lunch! Matt was fantastic!

Matt was an exceptional guide, extremely familiar with the battleground, the commanders and the experiences of the civilians in the area. My wife and I rate this the best tour we took in all of Berlin. We will gladly book other events with his company the next time we are in town.

The tour was terrific, and Matt was outstanding! He is very knowledgable in the subject matter and conveys it in a way that really draws a picture of the sites, sounds, and people involved in the battle. He also lays out in detail the events that lead up to the battle, as well as the aftermath and the eventual end of the war. He welcomed questions and discussions. He recommended additional reading and sources of more information for those who might want to know more, as well as other interesting tours that we might want to consider. If we had more time in Berlin we would definitely book another tour. Don’t try to tour this battle field on your own. There is no way you will be able to get as much out of it without Matt as your guide.

This tour was so unlike all the other tours available that I just had to book it to see what it was about! And it certainly did not disappoint. This tour was fantastic and so well thought through and organised. You can tell Matt (tour guide) has a serious passion for the history of these battlefields and provided the history in a fun and interactive way. Would highly recommend this tour to all. After the tour we really wanted to re-book with Matt for another tour, he was just that good!

Matt was a very knowledgeable guide. Wear sturdy footwear as you do go off the beaten path in places.

Matt and this tour was incredibly engaging and Matts knowledge of the Seelow Heights battle and the wider WW2 conflict was endless. I would highly recommend anyone to go on this tour and would suggest you consider Matt from On The Front Tours for all of his tours. Absolutely exceptional.
