That’s right–a 2.5 hour Sandemans walking tour of the city with a professional, insightful guide won’t cost you anything but a tip. Since this was my first time in Berlin I wanted to see a much as possible. But I was a little nervous to get around on my own since I was by myself for the first few days of my vacation. So being part of this tour was great. I didn’t have to worry about where I was going. I just followed the guide for the Sandemans free tour around and I got to see the main highlights of the city. In addition, I learned so much about the history, which I didn’t know before.

Duarte was my guide for the Sandemans free walking tour and he was really knowledgable about the city. He talked in-depth about historical events that took place in Berlin and was very friendly. He always made sure everyone in the group was together and was super easy to talk to.

My one minor complaint about the Sandemans tour was that I didn’t feel like we had enough time to take photos. For instance, at the Berlin wall, we didn’t actually walk down to it. We stood nearby and listened to Duarte as he gave interesting details about it. But we didn’t get to see it up close. We weren’t given time to explore, however it did look like it was about to rain. So we rushed through a few things in order not to get caught in the bad weather. It is a free tour, I saw so much of Berlin and I loved the guide, so can I really complain? No!
Everything else was wonderful though and I enjoyed my time with Sandemans. I’d absolutely recommend doing the tour, which is easy to set up. Go to the site and choose the city you want. Sandemans free tours are offered in 20 cities around the world, so make sure to select the right one for you. Sign up and then you will instantly receive an email with your ticket. Once you arrive at your meeting point, show it to your guide and you’re all set. At the end you tip your guide. I suggest at least 10 euros per person.
