”Highly Recommended“

Moses Mendelssohn Centre of European Jewish Studies

”The big stories but also the subtitle and unexpected ones that make walking tours so much fun.“

Anne Frank Centre Berlin

”Not only the stories but also the complexities of Berlin, in particular the famous East-West divide, came to life during the Storyline of Berlin... This is a tour of unparalleled wit and clarity.“

Wall Museum, House on Checkpoint Charlie Guest Comments

”Bjorn, sorry to take so long answering your email. We just returned home from a great trip. The tour was excellent. Absolutely no complaints. We very much enjoyed the guide - he definitely seemed to know his stuff and was very responsive to our requests. Our only regret was that we had only one day.“

Mr. and Mrs. Luce - Warnemuende-Berlin Tour

”Dear Mr Awe, Thank you for organising a superb tour guide. He was hugely interesting and knowledgeable. I got to understand the architectural history of Berlin in a way no guide book could ever have explained. It was pitched right. I look forward to booking another tour. Please pass my appreciation onto him.“
