Notre guide était historien et sa visite était très bien construite, il a su nous donner les infos essentielles et faire de chaque étape une pièce de son récit. Il était attentif à nos questions et à se faire comprendre de tous même des non anglophones (nous sommes français). Les deux heures sont passées très vite ! Seul point d’amélioration : mieux indiquer le lieu de rencontre sur l’invitation, ce n’est pas évident quand on arrive sur une grande place comme la porte de Brandebourg de se repérer.
