Heiko took us on a whirlwind history, political and architectural tour of Berlin. On our first day of Berlin we received an invaluable orientation of the city, not only geographically but politically and artistically. This tour allowed us to make the best judgement of what and where we wanted to spend the rest of our stay in Berlin. Our guide was amazingly knowledgeable and helpful. He made the difference between a mediocre and an incredible Berlin experience.
