We visited Berlin as part of a Viking tour. We added on 2 days post cruise extension. We knew we wanted to see as much as possible and a walking tour appealed to us. Reading the resumes of the guides, Martin Sauter’s caught our eye. We were not disappointed. We emailed several times about what Viking was showing us, and what we wanted to see. We finally decided on a 5 hour walking tour.
It was raining, then sleeting and oh, wait, a protest rally and all while we first met Martin. He couldn’t have planned a more enticing introduction. Our booking experience, deciding what areas we wanted to visit and meeting point couldn’t have been easier. Martin gave the 4 of us ( 2 couples traveling together) an incredible 5 hour tour. His insight and narrative provided an incredible background for us. We even stopped in a unique coffee shop with the most wonderful coffees and teas. He took us to varied areas of the city. When we went by the building where Angela Merkel lives, he went with me to even take a picture of the door bells. He’s amazing!
If we get back to Berlin, Martin will hopefully, still be a guide and take us to more places.
