“My mother and I really enjoyed the Final Days of World War II walking tour with Ciarán. He was knowledgeable, well spoken, and gave clear explanations that made complex historical events easy to follow. He guided us to several important sites connected to the last days of the war and provided valuable context without overwhelming the group. The pace was comfortable, the route was well planned, and Ciarán answered every question with confidence and depth. My mother and I both felt we learned a great deal in a short amount of time. We would definitely recommend this tour, especially with Ciarán as your guide.”

“The tour was great. It took me to spots I would have never seen in Berlin. I have been here 4 times previously. So much has changed since 1992! AD was a great guide. Full of a wealth of knowledge and passionate about what he was presenting. We had a great diverse group of people for the tour as well. My only complaint would we should have had a 30 min break midway for people to grab a quick bite, use a bathroom, and rest. We had to improvise in hour 3 by popping into a shop. They let us use their facilities as long as we purchased something. More…”

Urbanism, Architecture, History (and nott only WWII or Cold War), Culture, Arts but also local and nowadays buildings. Tobias is an excellent and very kind guide, which whom you can exchange ideas, remarks or simply ask questions. You will be through Kreuzberg without knowing it could have so many differences in it! Thanks tobias…”
