“Jakob” brought tears to my eyes”

“I went on the "Discover Berlin" with » Jakob. The tour was fantastic, and it was the best introduction to Berlin I could have asked for...the information he presented was extremely thorough, fascinating, and both historically and personally relevant. Not only was his knowledge of the city and the sites very extensive, but he was able to provide personal background that made the information both more interesting and more poignant. Seeing the Wall for the first time brought tears to my eyes as I listened to Jakob describe its fall.”

Meaghan C., Atlanta, GA 11.01.12

“better than the competitor’s tour”
