Indispensable to soak up the neighborhood and capture the pulse of this high place of history. Our guide's explanations set the scene and set the scene for the rest of the visit to the Bundestag. Our (American) guide also told us a few amusing anecdotes that made this first part of the visit lively. Then a guide dedicated to the Bundestag took over and allowed us to understand the main lines of the functioning of the government in Germany, to discover the history and architecture of the monument and its sublime and very interesting dome made by Norman Foster. Also amusing details. A beautiful and rich visit.

We had a very nice American tour guide, who spoke excellent German. It was fun going with him through the district and to learn a bit about the history. He had a sense of humor. The guided tour in the Reichstag was also very interesting. There, we had a different guide who was very competent. When we were finally free to go up the stairs to the top, it was dark already, so I couldn't really see the buildings the audio guide was talking about. That was the only downfall, so maybe I'll come back another time!

We had a great expert who was able to convey a lot of interesting information in a charming way. The time flew by, it was very entertaining and the small group of 6 people allowed us to ask and answer many questions. Clearly, we definitely recommend this tour. You get a lot for your money here.
