This tour was absolutely fascinating, focussed on the Cold War and East Berlin. Forrest has such a great demeanour, he has a wealth of knowledge and relayed it in a relaxed and intelligent manner. I would highly recommend this tour and thanks for a fantastic experience.

This tour is an excellent way to truly understand what life was like behind the wall. Because it is so thorough and concentrated in a three-hour period, you are fully immersed and left with a very strong impression of life in East Berlin during the post-war years. I wouldn’t change a thing about the tour and would highly recommend it.
It was a very interesting tour. Another way of enjoying this amazing city!
