Unfortunately my wife and I didn't connect with the guide assigned to our tour (which was not the 5 star Miha that shows up in most reviews - so if you book this tour, I strong recommend you ask the guide that is 5 star all over the reviews not the other one that has only 1 five stars review). Our guide was on time, but did not seem professionally. Facts: 1) she spoke several bad words (fuc.., cra.., dame...); 2) all other tours we did in Berlin in Nov/2021, at the beginning of the tour, the guide outlined the plan for the tour, she didn't and we started to walk without knowing what we would see; 3) she was concerned about bitcoins and her boy friend as she was texting and making such comments for nearly 5 minutes. 4) it was not 20 euros tour, we paid for a private tour (only me and my wife) so we expected the guide would at least introduce herself and ask our names (I know our names are in the app and she knew it, but a basic European etiquette was not there). Maybe this guide is a good person, but she definitely should not be a guide for WWII History. We stopped the tour after 15 minutes.Jose_A

Boyd was wonderful! He tailored the tour to our specific tastes after getting a feel for what we’d be interested in. We saw parts of the city that we never would have seen just exploring, and it provided a version of history through the eyes of the common person that is not explored much in history books. He was extremely personable and was open to any and all questions we had about the city. 10/10 would recommend him to everyone!
