Lee was a fabulous guide. The tour went by in a flash. He was erudite and knowledgable about Berlin and gave us a good introduction into the history, politics, society and culture of Berlin/Germany at the time that Bowie lived there. We then headed off to visit various key sites in West and East Berlin and discovered a lot about Bowie, his homes, his bars and his music - not only about where he wrote/recorded his songs but also about many of the places referred to in his lyrics as well. Lee enhanced the tour as we went along with film and photos on his ipad and even with songs and riffs played from the sound system in his backpack to illustrate points that he made as we went along. He told us about German bands' influences on Bowie's oeuvre and how this influence was then picked up from Bowie's work by other UK/Irish bands. We learned so much in a short space of time and could have spent many more hours with Lee, such was his knowledge of Bowie in Berlin. Lee is truly on another level. Fabulous guy, great tour, thank you Lee.
