"Nigel was one of the most informed guides I have ever met and I like that he treated us as friends rather than clients. I was also so impressed with the courtesy and the ease of the tour."

Absolutly amazing. Colin from the get go was making sure everyone was set for lunch and travel passes. He made sure we were ok every step of the way. His patience was amazing for those lagging behind and he has a depth of knowledge that really helped understand the camp. Colin was funny and really kept us interesed the whole time. We loved the way he even brought his own book to show extra things along the way. The way he made sure eveyone got off to their destination at the end of the tour was definatly above and beyond what he had to do !!!! We would recommend him as a guide to anyone. Thankyou for a very amazing day.

Excellent value for money and a real incite into the history and suffering that all those people went through, Colin is an excellent ambassador for the company. He was a superb host and kept us informed and quite disturbed at what had taken place in that location. I would happily recommend the tour to anybody. It can be quite a sobering thought to realise what people did to others such a short time ago. Thank you Colin for your time and tour.

Excellent value for money and a real incite into the history and drama that Berlin has been through. Heidi gave a terrific tour with many unusual anecdotes and stores from early Berlin’s History right up to date. She was a pleasure to listen to; and a young lady who knows her stuff. We were also helped to get back to our hotel area which was above the call of duty.

My daughter and I, along with Jason and Darlene, went on the Cold War Berlin and Sachsenhausen Concentration Camp tours with Mike. Mike's in-depth knowledge of dates and facts of 20th century Germany history is amazing. His passion and enthusiasm for the subject was infectious. Before leaving for Berlin I decided touring a concentration camp would be too sad and depressing during the Christmas Season. However, Mike’s somber and compassionate presentation made this significant and poignant time in our history one of the most memorable experiences of my life. I would highly recommend these tours, and especially Mike as your guide.

Being a student of Military History I was always keen to walk around Berlin to get a feel of the city which has defined contemporary History.
I am very lucky that i had the opportunity of undertaking The Famous Insider walk with the most awesome and knowledge Guide David. Under his Expert hands we got to feel the city for what it is. Not just from the time of The Third Reich but from even the times of Fredrick the Great. Most important thing was that he is involved and passionate about the city and that feeling rubs down ...I finished the tour all inspired. I could not get myself to go to Kudamm by bus or metro when there was so much of this beautiful city still to walk and hence Walk I did.I have also been recommending these tours to all people I know who go to Berlin. A compulsory activity in my opinion
Thanks a lot David. I will come back some time and I hope that I will again have the privilege of going on another walking tour with you.

I was on both the Cold War Berlin and Sachsenhausen Concentration Camp tours with Darlene and Jason. I echo their comments regarding Mike's extensive knowledge of German history, as well as his enthusiasm for the subject. I was the only one in our group that had the opportunity to take the Potsdam tour with "another tour company". I enjoyed this tour as well and the guide was very knowledgeable about the facts and history, however the enthusiasm that Mike brings to his tours was missing. I highly recommend any of the tours offered by Insider Tour with Mike as the guide.

The previous day my group and I had been on the Cold War tour with Mike, we received such an education and enjoyed ourselves we decided to take his next tour to Sachsenhausen. We were not to be disappointed. Mike's knowledge is unlimited for German history. Amazing how he brings all the history together. Excellent!

What a pleasure it was to spend what turned into an entire day with someone who exuded such love and knowledge of Berlin and its past. By far the best tour I have ever done and I wouldn't hesitate in recommending it to anyone! Not only did we have Nigel's expertise guiding us around the city and its history, but we even warranted a few more bonus', should we say, cultural, experiences... can't beat a bit of gluhwein and bratwurst and a masterclass in how to haggle for a Russian hat! Nigel, thank you for a fantastic day, not one which will be forgotten!

A wonderful tour, Mike was able to bring to life the raw details of the cold war. His depth of knowledge and understanding was greatly appreciated by all. He engaged us in the tour and brought realism by reminding us of the human side of the cold war, East and West. Even in the extreme weather he never lost momentum for his passion of history. I can and will honestly recommend this tour with Mike to anyone visiting Berlin. Well, done.

Absolute highlight of our trip! The tour was funny, informative and great fun. I have bored my friends and family senseless since I got back because I wanted to share everything I had learnt with them, it was so interesting!
My only disappointment is that you don't run tours in other european capitals! I'll just have to come back to Berlin and do some of your other tours!
