We booked the tour but came to meeting point quite late in the late afternoon but the tour guide and driver accepted drive us a half tour program and bring us back to the first meeting point especially they had also asked us coming back the next day for a free tour as a compensation for us. Honestly, They are very kind and friendly during the sight seeing tour which made us very warm welcome during Winter time in Berlin Good choice if having time in Berlin for such services and I will choose it again for the next opportunities. Thank you and goodbye.

This was easy to book, the driver and guide were friendly, helpful and informative and we had a lovely day out finding out all about Berlin. We'd love to do the trip again and look forward to seeing Berlin in all her glory in the summer.

Despite the grim weather, our boarding was efficient and we were made welcome. We appreciated the opportunity to have a warming drink on board

The driver was very nice and friendly, explained us well the technical side of the trip.

Great commentary, easy to book and helpful attendants
