Firstly he is not German, not fluent in English and we had difficulty understanding him. When he did speak clearly he only gave superficial information. It was supposed to be a custom tour, but he seemed to have difficulty navigating the area and insisted that we go to sites we asked to skip. He became angry when we were not interested ingesting out to see something we already visited or asked to skip. We were visiting a German friend and he became angry when she talked about anything related to Germany on the trip. He would get angry, say there is only 1 tour guide - then storm off and smoke cigarettes. The taxi reeked like smoke. He was very unprofessional and inappropriate. Skip this one - a big waste of time and money.

Itinerary
The starting point for the tour is Germany's tallest structure, its iconic TV Tower, located in the vibrant square of Alexanderplatz. From here, we pass the Red Town Hall, Marien Church, Neptunes Brunn, and arrive at the Museum Island.
One of the most important museum complexes in the world. The UNESCO World Heritage Site of Museum Island. We see Berlin's beautiful historic boulevard of Unter den Linden. You can capture the Berlin Cathedral, the unfinished reconstruction of the City Palace, the Old Museum, the Old National Gallery, the Pergamon Museum, and the Bode Museum.
Just after the island, You see the Forum Fridericianum, which consists of the State Opera, the Law Faculty of Humboldt University, Humboldt University, the State Library, and the first Catholic Church in Berlin St. Hedwig's Cathedral. You are now in the middle of the forum on Bebelplatz – famous as the 'Nazi Book(25.000) Burning Square, where you find a memorial in remembrance of the burning of the books in 1933.
Shortly after, we arrive at the spectacular Gendarmenmarkt, where you find the former Royal Concert Hall flanked by the German Dom on its south side and the French Dôm on its north side. The square is one of the most beautiful in Europe today!
The next stop of our tour is Checkpoint Charly: one of the most famous border crossings of the Berlin Wall, which almost ended up as the starting point of a third world war.
Along the former border strip, you will see original parts of the Berlin Wall and the site of the "Topography of Terror," one of the most frequently visited documentation centres on the period of National Socialism, the former site of the Headquarters of the SS and Gestapo. Right next to it, you find Martin-Gropius-Bau, where exhibitions of the well-known Chinese artist Ai Weiwei and the international exhibition David Bowie have taken place amongst others. In its front, the Prussian Parlement.
The square of Potsdamer Place has been Europe's largest construction site ever since. It appears as an ensemble of skyscrapers and futuristic buildings, including the Sony Center.
Following the border strip, we reach the Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe, also known as the Holocaust Memorial, which opened in 2005, commemorating the murder of more than 6 million Jews during National Socialism.
Afterwards, the tour will take you to one of the most famous landmarks in Berlin: the Brandenburg Gate.
Then we leave the former Eastern part of Berlin and enter the Memorial to the Murdered Sinti and Roma, the Government District consisting of the Reichstag/Bundestag and Chancellery,
Riding along the Tiergarten, Berlin's largest inner-city park, and the Spree, Berlin's longest river, we are about to reach Bellevue Palace, the Federal President's official residence.
You can already see our final destination: the Victory Column rising golden in the middle of the Tiergarten!

Levi was a fantastic guide. Extremely knowledgeable about the area and the history of Berlin. This was a great way to spend our first afternoon in Berlin. The minivan was very comfortable and clean.
We had an excellent private tour in a comfortable minivan with Hans and his driver. He is extremely knowledgeable and passionate about Berlin and its history. We saw parts of Berlin we would have otherwise missed and were very happy with the experience. Highly recommend taking this tour!
It was awesome experience. Nice information shared by the tour guide. He is very friendly person. And was very committed on the time
Levi was knowledgeable and gracious. We covered much of Berlin’s historical locations and had great conversation along the way. A good investment if you only have a few days in Berlin and want to cover the highlights.
I recently traveled to Berlin for work. I had the afternoon off after my last meeting, so I hired Levi to show me around, and I am so glad that I did. I booked the tour online, then I had to message Levi to ask that the tour start at 2pm, after my meeting was over, and not at noon as was stated in the tour description. Levi responded within 10 minutes and told me it would not be a problem at all. Then, one week before my trip, my colleagues were looking for a tour guide to lead us to our team dinner and give us highlights along the way, but because the tour would be short (one hour) and there was no flexibility on the day and time we needed it, my coworkers were not having any luck finding a guide. I thought of Levi and asked him if he could help us out. Again, he responded quickly that he would be happy to assist. He showed up early and walked my group of 30 colleagues to the restaurant not quite two miles away. He also stopped us at key points and provided insights into what we were seeing, and he got us to dinner on time. My colleagues were so pleased and the evening was a success. Two days later, Levi provided the private tour for me and one other coworker I invited along. The tour by itself would rate five stars, as Levi is incredibly knowledgeable of Berlin and its history. But the day of the tour happened to be the same day that King Charles and Camilla were visiting Berlin, and that meant road blocks and traffic nightmares at the end of our tour, when the last thing we had to see was the Brandenburg Gate. My coworker and I were assuring Levi that it would be okay if we missed seeing the gate given the traffic, but Levi was determined that we not miss this important icon. I was so impressed with the confidence and doggedness of Levi and his driver as they maneuvered us through the traffic jams - and they managed to get us one block up from the Brandenburg Gate. We jumped out of the vehicle, headed to the gate on foot, and found ourselves at the front of the pack waiting to see Charles drive by on his way back to the hotel. Of course we stopped, hoping to catch a glimpse of Charles, and we did! Not only did we see all the important sights in Berlin, but we saw the British monarch as well! It was an afternoon I won't ever forget, and it was Levi's resourcefulness and tenacity that made it happen.
Hi berlin excursions, thanks. My family and I enjoyed the Tour, the organization, support and flexibility before the Tour. For friendly, informative guidance, Deniz showed us a lot of Berlin while Hans drove us safely in his clean and comfortable Minivan. I enjoyed learning about Berlin's history and all the highlights and other sights not mentioned in the tour program. We will strongly advise every small group on your excellent minivan tour to start the Berlin visit.
We had an amazing sightseeing tour with Levent. Great sights, perfect service! Highly recommendable!
Our guide, Levent was extremely excited and passionate about Berlin! We thoroughly enjoyed our 3 hour tour!! Picked up and returned to our hotel with so much knowledge. He gave us opportunities to ask questions and we were able to hop out and walk more than we expected… which was nice. We were in a very nice vehicle and were provided with water and candy. I’m writing this while still in Berlin and have returned to several stops and extended our sightseeing. Great service!!
Levi was a warm hearted gentleman. His English wasn't perfect but good enough for our tour. He recommended we do the rickshaw ride to see all the interesting sites of Berlin and that was an suggestion. We were able to weave through the busiest parts of Berlin in just 3 to 4 hours. The ride was comfortable and enjoyable. If you don't like to walk to do too much physical work then this is the tour for you.
Levin provided a pleasant and enjoyable tour. He went out of his way to accommodate our requests and shared personalized local details and answered all of our questions with care. I highly recommend this tour!
Levent Aydin was excellent and very informative as a tour guide. He comes with high and excellent recommendations.
Notre Guide nous a emmené aux endroits les plus importants de la ville, avec des arrêts fréquents pour pouvoir prendre des photos ou voir certains détails . Nous avons passé deux heures formidables en compagnie de Levant.
El guía Levi y su chofer personas muy atentas , profesionales . Es la mejor opción para conocer la ciudad de Berlín y sus puntos más importantes. Muchas gracias a ambos por un excelente tour .
Una excelente experiencia. Total dominio de conocimiento de todos los lugares por parte de los guías. Amables, muy agradables. Personas muy cultas. Una maravillosa experiencia.
Our second trip to Berlin and our second super weekend in Berlin If I were too weak in online presentation for their site to matter. All my questions were answered with Whattsapp and we were in full transportation with our guide. Not the same Guide last time, but we were very pleased with the Sea too. Our guide, Sea, greeted us with a sign with our names in the airport lounge. Hans and the van were waiting for us Driver kind kind very nice someone who was very courteous they were preparing us a bottle of water in each seat. The Sea gave us an overview and schedule. An in-depth description of our question about the Berlin art gallery and shopping. On Saturday morning, we had the perfect time with Hans and Sea on the Half-day tour in our Van. We’ve seen Brandenburger Tor, the Wall, Checkpoint Charly, the Holocaust monument, and more. On Saturday, half a day after the tour, we left to make our own way. We visited the German History and Bergama museum and had some Shopping and returned to the hotel on our own. We slowly started learning ourselves where the historic buildings are, thanks to our guide at sea. On a Sunday morning, Hans and Deniz picked us up from the hotel, and Kreuzberg, East Side Gallary, and Gene were on show. We finished Sunday afternoon tour and we wanted to hang out in Kreuzberg again, and we love art, cafe, Sunday. For a great lunch, we knew Kreuzberg was the perfect Sade Turkish cuisine not the perfect World cuisine choice. Our guide taught us well about the Kreuzberg region so we could find our own way. No Google Maps😊 On Monday morning, they picked up for our pickup on time. The van arrived on time and we arrived at the cozy airport. Excellent service, information, timing and organization. Sea and Hans have done a great job, and you have a great experience. Once again, I’m sure you’ll discover Newbie spots.You Recommendation to anyone looking to see Berlin for the first time thanks for this delightful organization. FIGHTING
Was the best idea from the beginning to start the Berlin Weekend with a rickshaw tour with guide.. Our experienced friendly guide David had given a lot of interesting facts with humor. We had in 4 hours a good overview of most of the sights from the center of Berlin . We felt very practical with the rickshaw very close to the action.. So we had plenty of time for the next day to Enterprise a lot outside the center. We liked this so much that the next day we had a Have booked Kreuzbergtour to get to know the cultural life in Berlin, of course with the same guide David.See you next time in Berlin. Thank you!
