I did the Sachsenhausen Concentration Camp Memorial with Chris (the Canadian Chris). Chris was amazing! Very passionate about the tour and very informative. I would've booked all of my tours with him, if possible. The tour is very heavy. A lot to take in. I felt like throwing up as soon as we set foot on the property. I would do the tour on your last day in Berlin - not a good way to begin your trip. It's a long tour so they ask you to bring snacks and drinks. I bought some snacks last minute, but didn't even eat them as I would've probably thrown up immediately thereafter. Make sure to buy your metro ticket with the C connection. It was good to experience the tour, but definitely a heavy tour.

Wow. The best word I can use to describe our Cold War tour with the amazing Nickolai, is simply, wow. Nickolai is a true gem. From being open in sharing his own storied past with to being immensely knowledgable about the vast history of Berlin, Nickolai was for us the true star of our entire three-day trip to Berlin. In addition, Nickolai did an amazing job giving us unique insights into both sides of communism, Berlin's history, "Ostalgia", and the Cold War itself. We all felt his perspective was well-founded, well-researched, and well-explained - allowing us all to see things from multiple sides and come to our own conclusions (or inconclusions, even!) More than all of that though, it was his contagious passion and clear excitement for the city's history that truly made our four hours with him memorable, enjoyable, and something we were all instantly eager to recommend to our friends and family. I cannot recommend this tour and Nickolai enough. Basic info: tour: Cold War Walking Tour; guide: Nickolai; time: Saturday morning, early September; weather: chilly when standing around; group: we were three people and the overall group was 16 (max. 20); walking: we didn't actually walk very much - we stood around a great deal listening to Nickolai and we took the subway multiple times (price is not incl. in tour ticket).

I reserved the Cold War tour a couple months ago for our trip to Berlin. We didn't arrive until 12am Monday night and somehow managed to make our tour at 10am yesterday. Finding the meeting point is really easy. It's literally down the steps from the station. We had a small group of probably 7 and our guide was Barnaby. He was great! Although a 4 hour tour seems like a long time, it went by really fast and was great to learn the history of the Cold War. It's also a great way to become familiar with all the public transportation systems which is why I chose to do this tour first thing. Highly recommend!

Our Cold War Tour could not have been more perfect. Being a history nerd, and a return visitor to Berlin with 3 first-timers, I wanted to focus more on the Cold War aspect of the city, since WWII was a major part of my last trip. Barry was awesome! It was a blast zig-zagging around the city on the U-Bahn seeing the sights, and have history come alive. Barry's actually originally from Ireland, but clearly loved Berlin and it's history and culture and had so much to share at each site. I would absolutely take another tour with this outfitter.

Wow Amy, thank you for the review! We are so happy we were able to welcome both you and 3 newcomers to Berlin. Barry is a really great guide, we are lucky to have him on our team! Thank you!

FAMOUS WALK - FIVE STAR The Famous walk tour with Barry is very informative. Barry is a young Irish man from Ireland who studied law in school. He has been living in Berlin for 3 years now and is very passionate about the city. He brought us all around to the major sites in Berlin including the Berlin Wall, Checkpoint Charlie, the Memorial of the Memorial Jews in Europe, the Reichstag, and the Brandenburg gate. He provided loads and loads of info with much passion. I was not a huge fan with his talking style. He spoke way too fast that he was difficult to follow at times. I would have enjoyed the tour much more if he spoke a bit slower. The tour was supposed to be 4 hours but ended up being 5+ hours. I appreciated his thoroughness but wouldn't mind if he provided a little less info and spoke slower. That way the information would actually stick in my brain. Overall, I still had a wonderful time on this tour and highly recommend it. PUB CRAWL TOUR - 2 STARS The insider tour pub crawl is not all that great. The level of fun obviously depends on your crowd however the set up is seems like a money making scheme. For 12 Euros, you get 1 crappy beer (not even at a bar) and a few cheap fake shots. The one beer they give you is just on the street when you are waiting for the group to come together. If you think about it...the one Berliner beer they provided outside, probably cost them 0.25 Euros and the 3-4 very mini shots cost 0.75 Euros total. Therefore Insider Tour pockets 11 Euros. Multiply 11 Euros by 40 people and you get a nice profit of 400+ Euros per night. What a wonderful business for them but no value for you. Beer is honestly so cheap in Berlin, so they could have provided a few more beers at the bars. The way that a pub crawl should function is that you should get 2-3 beer tickets. Therefore when you get to the bar you can go get your beer quickly with your ticket and relax. During the Insider pub crawl, there's 40 people who all enter the bar at once and you wait in line for 20 minutes to get your drink because people order different things and have to pay etc. A ticket system would be more efficient. Another option is for the guide to actually provide us with the drinks. That way we could just sit down and chat while we are served beer. Maybe that's too much to ask for. As for the bars that Linda brought us to, the first two were laid back dive bars. They were chill and fun. The third bar was more of a club which was one of the grimiest places I have ever been to in my life. The music was super loud and the floor was all sticky from spilled drinks and chewed gum. I left within 5 minutes of arriving because it just was not my scene. Several others on the tour agreed that we all wanted to go back to the previous bar. In my opinion, the guide should have brought us to 3-4 chill pubs and 1 optional club as clubbing is not for everyone. After all, it is called a PUB crawl. Pubs appeal to all different types of people and clubs appeal to a select type of people. Then at the end, she could bring those who are interested in clubbing to the club and the rest of us could spend the rest of the night at the pub. Despite the flawed setup, Linda was an excellent tour guide. She did a great job giving us a 10 minute warning. She went around providing cups for those who wanted them. Overall, this is an okay pub crawl. It seems more like a money making tourist rip off scheme. The tour guides are very nice and friendly, but the value just isn't there. The selection of bars could have been much better. The first two pubs were awesome but the fun ended there. If you have a group of 3+ people, you are better off looking up cool pubs and doing your own pub crawl.

Did the Sachsenhausen Concentration Camp tour with Jamie today and despite the frigid temperatures it was awesome. I highly recommended this tour to anyone that is visiting Berlin. We were hesitant to go to Sachsenhausen at first because it was a 6 hour tour and we are only here for two days but am so glad we decided to book. Jamie was very knowledgeable and funny and made sure everyone got everything they wanted out of the tour. On the train ride back he individually asked everyone where they were going next and gave them a map and the best way to get there. For people that didn't know he made suggestions. We may book another tour through Insider Tour for tomorrow and can only hope the next tour guide is as good as Jamie!

We did the Famous Insider Walking Tour with Jared and loved it. It's such a great way to see the city, you learn a lot of what you need/want to know, and is reasonably priced. Jared is super knowledgeable and entertaining and we had a great time. Highly recommend it!!

Visited Sachsenhausen Concentration Camp today with our tour guide, Ronan. It was such a somber day. Thank you, Ronan, for the amazing history lesson and your compassion, while asking some tough questions and helping our group understand such tragic time in history.

Best tour learning about the Third Reich in Berlin! Nicholai was professional, passionate and explained everything in the most interesting way with facts, stories and photographs. Highly recommend. He knows his stuff and is eager to share! No problems hearing everything he had to say!

Bryan not only knows his history but is also passionate about it which brought so much to this tour! Highly recommend

Thanks for the review Julie, and for joining us! Great to hear you enjoyed your tour with Brian!
