This was our second walking tour with Insider Tours (did the Famous Insider Walk with Tarek last Sept) and we were again extremely pleased with the content and pace of the tour. Michael is a superb, very knowledgeable and enthusiastic guide. I would recommend these tours to anyone wanting to know more than the basic holidaymakers info provided by the normal tourist books. Once again thanks Michael and Insider Tours - we hope to see you again one day.
Michael had great depth of knowledge and an obvious passion for his job. When the bus timetable did not work out due to the crowds he seamlessly adapted the tour,giving extra information en route. For us in particular he proved a saviour when the ticket inspector hauled us off the train for not validating our ticket.....saved us a big fine or at the very least a stiff wigging! Thanks Michael.
Very entertaining and informative tour. He managed to deal with sensitive issues in a tactful manner and with no obvious bias. The tour was the perfect balance of the inconsequential and the factual.
This tour is definitely the way to start your Berlin adventure. It gives you a good sense of where everything is, geographically, but you also come away feeling as though you have a far greater understanding of the history of this amazing city. Jamie is brilliant - he clearly knows his stuff and wants to share his Berlin passion with everyone who visits. Thanks Jamie!

The tour was the perfect introduction to Berlin. We would highly recommend it and if you are lucky you will get Michael. Michael was not only enthusiastic, but great at telling the stories of Berlin and it's people in a captivating way.
The tour added sparkle to our hoilday. Thank you Michael.
Excellent tour from Michael. He kept it both lively and also very interesting. The Famous Insider Walk is a great way to start your holiday in Berlin as it covers pretty much all of the main sights. Would definitely recommend to do this tour at the start of your trip.
Pen was absolutely brilliant :) The tour was really facinating, we were only in Berlin a couple of days but would highly recommend this tour if you want to see the main sights and learn the history of Berlin. I would especially recommend Pen as her enthusiasm for Berlin is infectious and I'll definitely go back.
