Podraic’s sense of humor gave a welcome contrast to the stark realities and absurdity of war. He gave facts, insights, and pop culture references perfect for the mix age group. Loved the guided tour. Love how the city feels both historic and lived-in.

I highly recommend this trip to the Berlin concentration camp! The tour guide Lewis is from the UK and has lived in Berlin for many years. His professionalism and enthusiasm are impeccable! He knows the history of the concentration camps very well. When explaining, he has both rigorous historical facts and vivid details, which makes people feel as if they have traveled back to that heavy period. The itinerary is planned very carefully, and no important place is missed. He was very considerate along the way, always paying attention to the status of the group members. After the end, he personally took us back to the city until everyone was settled before leaving. This trip not only gave me a deep understanding of history, but also made me feel full of warmth and touching on my first day in Berlin. Friends who want to experience the history of Berlin in depth must choose this group. You will never be disappointed with Lewis!

The experience of this half-day tour in Berlin was beyond expectation! I especially want to give full marks to the tour guide Philip! He is a graduate student, but he has amazing knowledge and a detailed understanding of Berlin's history. From ancient buildings to urban changes, every story is at hand. Philip's explanation is so vivid! There is no boring rote reading throughout the whole process. Instead, it is like chatting with friends. He tells the history and culture of Berlin in an infectious language. I am completely immersed in it, as if I have traveled back to a different era. The trip lasted more than 4 hours. Even in the face of traffic noise, he always remained enthusiastic and took the initiative to raise the volume to ensure that everyone can hear clearly. There was no slackness throughout the whole process. I was worried that I would be tired after a long tour, but I didn't follow Philip at all! His humor and professionalism made the time pass quickly, and I was even reluctant to leave at the end. This trip not only gained knowledge, but also felt the unique charm of Berlin. I strongly recommend everyone to choose this trip! If you have the opportunity, you must join Philip's group, you will never be disappointed! Thank you again Philip for the unforgettable experience!
