Last week, when in Berlin, we went on a Walking Tour with Andrew as our Guide. The 4+ hour tour was outstanding! We saw much more than a bus tour could allow, and found certain sites that we returned to the next day for a more indepth review.
Andrew's knowledge greatly facilitated the tour. His insight into WWII, the holocost, the Communist rule, the Berlin Wall and more was excellent.
He also helped us understand the "value" of the 100 and 200 trains, which we also used the next day. I must say that Andrew's Tour was the highlight of our stay in Berlin.
Thank You

I've been to Berlin several times but have never taken one of these tours. I regret that since the Famous Insider tour given by Brian was amazing. He brings a lot of excitement, comedy and passion to his tour, and wants you to know and love Berlin the way he does.
These tours are definitely the best! The guides are so well informed. On my second visit to Berlin and third tour, this time my tour was led by Nigel and I can only say thank you Nigel for a day I will never forget in my entire life. Everything was so clear and interesting. Nigel was so well informed on every aspect of the tour. Nigel, please don't ever leave as I want to come back every year. I have told everyone about these tours.

My sons and I visited Berlin in June 2006,with the aim of deepening our knowledge of the place that served for 12 terrible years, as the World Capital of Terror. I am a VIP guide at the Yad Vashem Holocaust Museum in Jerusalem and my sons have visited the death camps in Poland and are well versed in the History of that sad period.
We were all most impressed by Nigel's guiding on the Third Reich Tour. His deep knowledge of the Nazi era, his ability to use his sense of humour to lighten the burden of this difficult subject and, most of all, his sincerity in not glossing over the gory details, left us with the feeling that the visitors to Berlin are in good and responsible hands.
Every good wish for your continued important work, Nigel and congratulations to Insider Tours for their rich programme of getting to know Berlin and its History.

Hi Kenny,
It has taken me a while to write you. I should start by saying we really enjoyed the tour last month with you. I'm noticing how so much of that information actually stuck in my head.
I was to let you know when I'm doing a public event. Hhhhmm I should also reintroduce myself. I was (still am) the singer from LA but living in Berlin. I'll be doing a concert at Club Havanna. With a band called "JCB". That's on Okt. 7th. Let me know if you'd like to come I'll put you on the guest list. Thanks again for a great tour.

Absolutely Fantastic, Kenny , Thank you , you saved me from sitting on a bus tour which would have lasted about an hour. Instead I thoroughly enjoyed a superb informative 4hr walk which will be remembered for a very very long time. value for money!!!??? you need to up the price :-) Cheers. Keep up the excellent work.
Heiko was awesome. I really didn't know much behind the history of Berlin, other than east/west and checkpoint charlie. But touring with Heiko left a passion in my belly that I am certain will take a long time to satisfy. His insider tour was full or history and the occasional joke to lighten a heavy load. His approach was very engaging and made me wish I had the time to buy him a beer and sit down for hours. If you get Heiko as your guide, consider yourself lucky, I do.
Potsdam is listed as a World Heritage site by the UN and it is no small wonder. Not only is Potsdam incredibly picturesque with many palaces, lakes, manicured gardens, statues and water fountains dotted over hundreds of green acres but it is brimming with an equally fascinating history.
