Florence
We only had a long weekend to do the city and so your tour really helped us get our bearings. There's just so much to see there! I know we only scraped the surface but it worked really well for us.

Venice
This was a great tour that took you everywhere you needed to go. Particularly liked the walk through of the mosaic frescoes on the front of the Basilica.
We had a great time in Venice, made all the more special by this evocative guide.
Like the speaker's voice too - one of the best I've listened to.

Berlin
Our guide to Berlin starts at the magnificent Reichstag where we talk about its war torn history - and its exciting modern incarnation.
Over the next four or five hours, depending on how many breaks you take, we then direct you round to the Brandenburg Gate where we explain not only what you’re looking at but we also put this historic symbol of Germany into context. Afterwards, we pay a visit to the new Holocaust Memorial, and our Berlin guide explains the thinking behind it - and reveals why it's proved to be so controversial.
We then wander down Unter den Linden, hear about what the name means and take a short detour down to Checkpoint Charlie. Afterwards your Berlin guide takes in the impressive architecture of Bebel Platz but also talks about the most shameful episode in the square’s history – and the points out the simple but moving memorial to that awful event which so many visitors miss.
After the glorious Berlin cathedral, the Berliner Dom we finally we arrive at the TV Tower and we’ll tell you why it was such an embarrassment to the Communist regime which built it.
We’ll also tell you about the coolest bars, restaurants and shops in Berlin and show you how the past, present and future converge and sometimes clash in the Berlin of the 21st century.
