Hi there, we’ll be in Berlin this fall. I was wondering what was the name/company of the free walking tour that you did in Berlin?

I think I went on the exact same walking tour with school! I remember telling the guide that room filled with light for the lost books was bad for the environment and he should think about the polar bears not the books.. ha. I loved the Book Thief too! We are heading back to Berlin this weekend and I think we’ll go on the tour again, but this time not hassle the tour guide..

Hey, Rachel – loved the stories and the pictures. I live in Berlin and didn’t know some of these details!
Here’s another walking tour recommendation for the next time you’re in town. It’s centered on local food (but there’s lots of history and interesting stories along the way!) eat-the-world has four walking tours in different neighborhoods of Berlin. You can find more info here: http://bit.ly/1dPanje Would that be your cup of tea?

Enjoyed reading your blog but please stop referring to yourself as a nerd for enjoying history – patronising

A walking tour of Berlin sounds like a great idea for the very reason you described – it’s such an important and historical city that it helps to have someone explain the points in digestible, bite-size chunks. I’ve been to Berlin twice, and LOVE it more each time I go but I also get a niggling feeling at the back of my head that’s itching to know more about the ins and outs of its history pertaining to WWII – it looks like I’ve found my answer. Thanks :D

I totally love doing walking tours as they are affordable or even free and you get to know the history and some cultural backgrounds of the city and that’s great especially in cities with such important histories. I can also recommend the Alternative Tour in Berlin (http://bit.ly/18O1lRY) if you are into arts. It brings you to a lot of art centres within the centre of Berlin and I really loved these spots. I didn’t know them before even though I have spent quite a few days of my life in Berlin.

Been to Berlin in December and I walked through the city for 3 days visiting different places. It was a great lesson of history and yes, it was absolutely worth going there.
