SANDEMANs New berlin tours
The tours that this company run in berlin are just soooooooo amazing the tour guides are fantastic with so much information and history that they give you through out the whole of the tour I have so far been on ,most of the tours since I have been here before i left Berlin, I first went on the
Third Reich tour which was super, Sadie was the tour guide for this tour, I loved the way she gave to tour by splitting it into 3 parts, the first was of the different memorials to the different people effected during the third reich, the second part looked at the 4 major leaders and lastly was the old Jewish Quarter of Berlin.
The second tour was the Sachsenhausen Concentration Camp memorial tour, this was another really great tour, with just so much information about every aspect of the camp from the beginning until it was liberated, the tour guide for this was Rob from Manchester another great tour guide, this is a worthwhile tour to go on while you are in Berlin, this tour was nearly a full day tour.
Third tour I finally decided to do the Free Walking Tour and on this tour we went around to some of the great sites around berlin, loved this tour so much history was given, the tour guide for this was called George, awesome guide, so worth doing especially as it is free but you get some much extensive history of Berlin within it :)
For the fourth tour this was the Red Berlin tour, this was great has you had a look at east germany that was being run by the soviets at the time, how they lived and so on, looked at how the wall come about and ended the tour at the east side gallery longest remaining part of the wall tour guide was brilliant as well called Lewis.
Another tour I did was with Leen she was quite super as well as a tour guide, the tour I did with her was the Alternative City Tour it was awesome going around looking at all the different street art, and so much more
Potsdam this was the last tour that i did, which was just great it was pretty much a full day tour but so worth it, you start at the meeting point where you then take the transport with the guide to where you are going, the tour starts whilst waiting for a bus, but talks a little about the history of Potsdam and the area surrounding it, afterwards you walk across the bridge at lake Wannsee, and while you are doing that you are also crossing the border line of where east and west Berlin once stood,
The second tour was the Sachsenhausen Concentration Camp memorial tour, this was another really great tour, with just so much information about every aspect of the camp from the beginning until it was liberated, the tour guide for this was Rob from Manchester another great tour guide, this is a worthwhile tour to go on while you are in Berlin, this tour was nearly a full day tour.

and then walking around the garden learning more about the history, and also seeing many different palaces around the area, seeing the old dutch quarter and then finishing the tour at the lovely Sanssouci palace. My tour guide was actually the same as my Red Berlin Tour Lewis.
These tours are just so amazing full of history and everything, the tour guides are also just brilliant, i would so recommend this tour company and tours if you ever go to Berlin
or if you wanted to go in other countries the SANDMANs new Europe do these tours in Many places.
There were too tours that i didn't go to were the Royal Berlin tour and Pub Crawl
