Really enjoyable.
I'm so glad I booked a few hours with Fabian in Berlin. I got some great photos in places I would have never seen otherwise. The weather was terrible and he still managed to help me find some magic. I learned new ways with my camera also. He is also a gentleman and he was fun and pleasant. I will definitely go back to Fabian in the future.

An expert guide!
Martin was an excellent guide sharing his extensive knowledge about Berlin, GDR, the Cold War and any other questions we had about this country! He is friendly, engaging and considerate. Even though it was a bitterly cold morning as we walked around, we loved our time with Martin! Thank you and we hope to return for another tour.
