“Thanks and praise for a WONDERFUL day-tour of Berlin. We arranged for a van to pick 8 of us up from our cruise ship in Warnemünde and take us to Berlin for a full-day tour in mid-July 2009. Our guide, Johanna, was the best guide I have EVER had (and I've been in the travel business since 1981). Her knowledge, enthusiasm, and charisma were excellent. And...she had Euros cent coins to give us for the WCs!”
