“Sam was our guide for this 4 hour tour and he was brilliant. He had a real passion for European history and it was obvious that he knew the subject very well. The tour started with a precis of how Hitler came to power and Sam then took us around Berlin highlighting some of the major events, impacts on different parts of German society and landmarks from Hitler gaining power to the end of the Second World war. No hesitation in recommending this tour.”
