Our tour guide Kyle was fantastic. He showed us every you needed to know about the history of Berlin, he was very passionate and enthusiastic, and made sure that we were all welcome. And will certainly come back again.

Our first experience (on recommendation) with Free Tours, we did the New Berlin Free Tour with Sophie. WOW!! This was such a great way to spend 4 hours (11am to approx. 3pm). Sophie had such a passion for the history of Berlin, but more particularly the Berlin Wall, that it was impossible not to be swept up in her enthusiasm.... More

Rob Shaw was our guide for this tour and he was fantastic! Very enthusiastic and knowledgeable, made the history come alive and explained things very well. This tour takes in all the major sights in Berlin and is very interesting and Rob made it humorous where appropriate. This was our first Sandemans tour, will defiantly be doing more!

Very enthusiastic guide, Taylor showed us the city, the main things to see, he gave us tips on "free must things to do" in Berlin. A lot of humour, a lot of knowledge about the history and about entertaining people, he managed to keep his huge group together all along the visit. It lasted around 3.5 hours but never felt... More

A fantastic way to learn and see more of this interesting city. Simon was our tour guide and was extremely friendly and knowledgeable. He is from England but speaks as though Berlin is his home town. No need for any notes, he knows the history very well. The tour is a walking tour, 3 1/2 hours, and free! We and... More

I took the free walking tour with Leen on my first full day in Berlin. It was well worth my time and tip. I really got a feel for the city and its history in a few short hours that flew by. She has a passion for everything Berlin and the (large) group was engaged throughout the hundreds of years... More

This review is for the free tour of old town Edinburgh and the paid tour of the castle, both with Alan. He brought the very complicated history alive and put our previous bus tour guide to shame. I recommend him highly. We will go on a third tour tomorrow.

The free tour of Berlin was great. Lewis was very knowledgable and definitely kept the group engaged. My friends and I also did the tour of Sachsenhausen. I wouldn't recommend the tour of Sachsenhausen, but I would recommend that you go out and see it on your own. It is a quick train trip and an easy walk from the... More

Seriously, it was so so good. Amy was amazing. We learned so much history, went to so many sights, and it was funny! I haven't ever taken a tour that's so information rich, it was so in depth and now we know what to do on our short time in Berlin! The guides work on tips, and we ended up... More
