I would highly recommend Daniel's walk tour. Like he said, he does it only for nostalgia but its amazing to do it. He is a bundle of knowledge and you just have to prod him a bit to recieve information about old and contemporary Germany.
Very friendly person, good sense of humor (yes, even for a German) and cannot stress enough how much he knows.
