Last-Minute Lifesaver – Exceptional Berlin Walking Tour

Published on Jan, 2025

I can't recommend Birchys Berlin Tours enough! When my original tour fell through at the last minute, Aaron came to the rescue, curating a personalized walking tour within an hour. His deep knowledge of Berlin’s modern history, combined with his engaging storytelling, made for an unforgettable experience. Even though I’ve visited Berlin multiple times, Aaron provided fresh insights and fascinating details that added new layers to my understanding of the city. His ability to weave together historical events, cultural context, and local anecdotes kept me captivated throughout. If you’re looking for a well-researched, engaging, and highly flexible tour of Berlin, Birchys Berlin Tours is a must. Thanks again, Aaron, for turning a near-miss into a trip highlight!

Best walking tour ever! Worth the money!!

Published on Jan, 2025

The absolute best tour of our trip! The day was rainy and cold but Paul was amazing and knowledgeable about all things Berlin. Met us at our hotel and had a little history lesson before we headed out and was greatly appreciated. Enjoyed the entire tour and highly recommend to others!!

This was a private tour...

Published on Jan, 2025

This was a private tour and our tour guide (Paul) was great. Although he is of Irish heritage, his knowledge of Germany/Berlin was quite impressive and his comprehend of the German language was likewise. We continued to ask him questions on both subjects throughout the tour and he provided logical and when necessary detailed responses. There was no area which his knowledge did not extend too. Not like other walking tours in other capital cities we have previously undertaken, his responses did not feel like that it was just another tour and he was just going through the motions. He has a welcoming and accomodating personality. He tailored the tour to our pace and areas of interest. No aspect was not addressed by him. For a couples/ small groups I would highly recommend the tour. We are in our 60's and have travelled extensively.

Worth doing!
