Daniel gave an informative and astounding narrative of Berlin during the Nazi regime. He has a wealth of knowledge about the Third Reich and how Berlin was torn during the WWII, and is deeply passionate about the subject matters. The route is very well planned - that is particularly the case with the final stop where we are left with a moving and resounding note on the brutality of war and the importance of world peace. Highly recommended!
