"We got to see and learn a lot of things we may have missed if we had not taken the tour - definitely made the day trip to Berlin one to remember." Mike, Auckland, 28th Aug'10
We had a great time on this tour. Dan was very informative. Our only regret was that we didn't have more time in Dresden. We totally agree with Mansi Joshi's comment about how efficiently the time was used, and how good the guides were. We would definitely book with Insider Tours again.

Our trip to Sachsenhausen was amazing - Colin knew loads about it, and we were still interested 5 hours later.
Colin helped everyone find their way home and recommended places to eat, etc.
We'd definitely recommend this tour to others!
Brian was fantastic. It is obvious that he loves this city and is passionate about its history and people. He cried at least three times during the tour and we cried with him. It was his first tour of the season and it lasted six hours. We definitely got more than our money's worth.
The day trip with Insider Tours to Dresden was the perfect ending to our 9 day trip to Germany. From the time the guides, Dan and Amos, introduced themselves to us at 9 in the morning to the time we bid them goodbye at around 7 in the evening, we were kept constantly entertained, either with bits and pieces of relevant or odd and funny stories about Dresden and Germany or just generally chatting with the guides.
The tour group was split into two, under Dan for the English speaking tourists (a category to which my family and I belonged) and under Amos for the Hebrew speakers.
Dan was the best guide we could ask for. An intelligent conversationalist with a good knowledge of Dresden, he led the group through an interesting walk into the historical past of the city.
We usually do not go in for conducted tours and prefer exploring new places by ourselves. However, a friend who had been to Berlin before our visit, suggested that a Dresden Day trip with Insider Tours would be the most efficient option we could get, considering the limited time in our hands. After our trip, I would say, it is also the best option. Approximately half the time in Dresden was a guided tour, and in the remaining half we got to spend our time exploring the city independently or visiting museums in Old Dresden.
With guides such as Dan and Amos, convenient schedules and the excellent tour plans, we definitely want to return to Germany for a few more trips with Insider Tours.

I had the incredible good fortune to have Brian as a guide on this tour. A 4 hour tour that became 7 hours, plus drinks then dinner and much dancing at the famous Clärchen's Ballhaus is a day that I have been telling many people about already. I really really appreciated Brians passion and knowledge - and yes, he will bring tears to your eyes, in both laughter and sadness. I would also like to commend Brian for his dedication and care of his tour group, even once off-duty. A truely fantastic guide and an amazing ambassador for the city. Thanks Brian!

We did our touring a little bit in reverse and probably should have taken this tour first, but later is better than never (we took the tours to Sachsenhausen and Dresdan before this one) and along with the other two tours, this was excellent as well. Barnaby, the tallest tour guide, and native of England, was wonderful -- his height made it easy to follow him and we especially enjoyed his animated "show" when he performed a brief geographic history of Berlin by drawing Germany in the dirt with a stick in the shade of a tree -- it was informative and entertaining! Barnaby's knowledge of Berlin and his enthusiasm in sharing it with our group was wonderful. We highly recommend Barnaby and this informative tour -- be advised, wear comfortable walking shoes -- you will cover a lot of ground! Highly recommended!

We went on the Dresdan day trip on a gorgeous sunny and warm Sunday and there were two guides who accompanied us. We actually had Dan as our English speaking guide, and Amos who provided the Hebrew to the large group from Israel on this day. We can't say enough about Dan -- he was enthusiastic, informed, and intelligent and we thoroughly enjoyed our visit. We just wished we could have stayed in Dresdan longer! What a beautiful and fascinating city. One of the highlights on the two-hour return trip, was the time both Amos and Dan took to personally stop and speak individually with anyone wishing to do so. Dan, a handsome young man who is a native of Israel, was a delight to speak with and we had an interesting time conversing with him. His insights and historical knowledge were fascinating.
Highly recommended!

We have nothing but praise for New Zealand Mike and the tour he led to Sachsenhausen -- this was the first tour we took from Insider Tours and we subsequently took two more during our 8-day stay in Berlin. Mike is a walking encyclopedia of information, delivered passionately and with great knowledge and charm. He speaks fast and with clarity -- very easy to understand. We learned so much from him -- this tour will stay with us for a long time to come. We would highly recommend Mike and Berlin Insider Tours to anyone lucky enough to visit this fascinating and historic city.

The tour with Barnaby was very interesting and Barnaby really made the tour an incredible experience. Even though the tour lasted more than four hours, the time just flew because of Barnaby's enthusiasm and ability to make history come alive. I find the tour VERY recommendable

Oh! What a wonderful 4 hours we had with Barnaby dancing and drawing in the sand and making sure we will remember at least one thing about Berlin, Karl Friedrich Schinkel!
So good to have history come alive with humour and passion! We looked for Insider tours in Munich and thankfully did not go on any of the English guided tours there: listened in on some passing us and how boring they seemed!! Please start in Munich as well!!!Next time we are in Berlin we will try go on ALL your tours, definitely better than any theatre!
