Michele toured us on the hottest June day in Berlin… without wilting! She brought history to life, put the aftermath of WWII into a humanistic perspective, and mixed history with contemporary Berlin. Prior to our tour Michele was in contact several times to shape our tour. She even changed our tour route so we ended at an amazing flea market so we could have time to wander on our own. Because we’d been in frequent contact before our tour, I felt like I was meeting a friend — which we were by the end of our visit! Enthusiastic Expert

Our tour of Berlin with Michelle was nothing short of outstanding. We’ve been fortunate to have taken many guided tours over the years, but Michelle stands out as the best guide we’ve ever had. Her deep knowledge of Berlin’s rich history, culture, and landmarks added so much depth and meaning to our experience. Michelle was not only incredibly well-informed but also warm, courteous, and genuinely kind. She answered every question with patience and insight, and her enthusiasm for the city was infectious. Her thoughtful approach and personalized attention made us feel welcome and cared for throughout the entire tour. We truly can’t say enough about how much we enjoyed our time with Michelle. She made our visit to Berlin unforgettable, and we would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a top-notch guide. Thank you, Michelle, for making our trip so special!

This was a first visit to Berlin for both my husband and myself and Miha was the perfect guide. His love for the city and his extensive knowledge shone through and he was endlessly patient with our many questions. We enjoyed his company and his willingness to share facts, anecdotes and personal experience. Thank you Miha for a great start to what had been a wonderful stay in Berlin!!A great introduction to Berlin!

Seth was a charming and knowledgable guide. He took us round Berlin at a leisurely pace but we saw so much of the city. He wore his scholarship lightly but talked with great sensitivity and insight about memory and trauma. We visited a beautiful library, the Catholic cathedral, the opera house and a stunning 1920s shopping gallery ( with incredible chocolate shop) as well as the important historic and political sights we had specified. At the Holocaust memorial he was especially careful and respectful. A great trip and a lovely guy! Enjoyable and informative

We are both History teachers (from US and UK) - we thoroughly enjoyed Claudia’s well-informed, well-organised, and very fun tour of Berlin. We spent five hours with Claudia and it went by so quickly. She invited our questions, gave thoughtful answers, knows her history, annd also knows local communities as they have developed over time. A lovely person with a great sense of humour we highly recommend Claudia. We would certainly hire her again!A fun, thoughtful, well-organised guide!

Oh Elisabetta, you were a highlight of our visit to Berlin! As an artist your eye for what to see in the street art was spot on— we now look at street art with a practiced eye. The stories about the artists, evolution of the medium—value of paste ups— made for a delightful experience. Lunch recommendation was amazing! I hope whoever is reading this books you!!!A new appreciation for Street Art

We very much enjoyed our afternoon with Alex, showing us around Berlin. He is a hive of knowledge and full of love and enthusiasm for the city. Alex was able to bring so much lived experience when describing life behind the iron curtain, which really brought the Cold War era to life for us as we visited the well known sites of the time. We can heartily recommend this tour. You will not be disappointed. Best way to see Berlin

Elisabetta packed a lot of Berlin magic into a brief stroll! She really worked with our time constraint but gave us a fabulous tour nonetheless. In just a short time she led us to some real highlights, shared fascinating stories, and happily answered every question we threw her way. The sunny weather helped, but it was her enthusiasm and deep knowledge that truly made the walk memorable. Highly recommend her tour if you want an engaging, information-rich overview without losing half a day.Can't go wrong if you choose Elisabetta!

I was traveling with my elderly husband, who is 90 years old and he has some energy and mobility issues. Elisabetta absolutely rolled out the red carpet and made our fascinating, curated tour of Berlin easy and fun for him. He was sat in the front seat next to her, and she made sure he was involved and enjoying himself. I can't say enough how special Elisabetta is. And even more, she showed us a side of Berlin that we never would have seen, and shared her personal story and point of view with us, which added to our understanding of the art scene in Berlin. It was a morning so well spent. I can't recommend Elisabetta enough. Absolutely Perfect for Our Needs

My two boys and I had the great fortune of spending the day with Seth. My kids enjoy history and have a keen interest in WWII and our experience with Seth blew their minds and opened them to new ideas and perspectives. It was a life changing experience that expanded our understanding of people and place, promoting deeper conversations. As a result, Seth has set us on a path of discovery, altering our travel plans so that we can explore more of the places we discussed during our tour. Top notch guide!

Great that she ended the trip by sharing an overview of the highlights to do oer neighborhood! We enjoyed our time together very much. Tip: schedule a tour by bike with Michele to cover more ground.

My 14 yo grandson and I loved our tour with Seth. He told so many pertinent stories to our discussions on what happened in Berlin in WWII and showed us many photos of the original buildings that we discussed that were no longer there. We definitely got what we paid for and more - Seth showed us the Jewish Quarter, many beautiful memorials, talked about the damage that occurred as the Soviet’s arrived, told stories about many events during the war, and captivated us for the entire morning. The tour was well paced (including a stop at Starbucks for some sustenance for my grandson) and the rain didn’t stop him or us for a minute - in fact we hardly noticed it was raining (not!). On a special note, I asked Seth about Jazz clubs as this is a special interest of ours and he went above and beyond, doing research and giving us a list before arrival. I’ll call Seth again the next time we are in Berlin!! So many stories

My husband and I had the absolute pleasure of taking a private tour of Berlin with Michèle last weekend, and it was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment we met our guide, we knew we were in great hands. Her deep knowledge of Berlin’s history, culture, and hidden gems brought the city to life in a way we never could have imagined on our own. Michèle was so warm, professional, and incredibly engaging— we completely forgot about the less than ideal weather. She answered every question with enthusiasm and tailoring the experience to our interests with thoughtful recommendations along the way. We explored iconic landmarks, lesser-known neighborhoods, and even an amazing tucked-away doughnut shop we'd never have discovered otherwise. Our tour was, without a doubt, one of the highlights of our trip. Highly, highly recommended!A Truly Unforgettable Berlin Experience!

If you’re looking for the perfect way to experience Berlin’s beauty and history, look no further than a private bike tour with Miha. I had the pleasure of doing just that, and it was easily one of the highlights of my trip to Germany. From the moment I met Miha, I knew I was in great hands. Energetic, knowledgeable, and full of charm, he guided me effortlessly through the heart of Berlin — from iconic landmarks to hidden gems I would never have found on our own. It was the ideal balance of storytelling and sightseeing: Miha brought the past to life with gripping anecdotes and a great knowledge of history, all while making sure I was enjoying the ride (literally!). Loved it!!!!!!Miha Made Berlin Shine!

I’d told myself I’d return to Berlin once all the pandemic stuff settled down, and I finally made it back in October 2022. Alex really knows his way around the city. He was flexible and accommodating when my cousin and I had some last-minute changes, which we really appreciated. Even though this was my third time in Berlin, there was still plenty I hadn’t seen. We got a great view of the city from a hilltop and popped into a second-hand bookstore that had tons of charm. Alex’s humor and energy really brought the experience to life. We walked away with a deeper appreciation for the city. Highly recommend his tours—even if you’ve been to Berlin before. Leslie and Hector a great view of the city

We booked Michèle through a word-of-mouth suggestion and it was a great call. Michèle was exactly the right blend of knowledgable, relaxed and helpful. She didn't rush, she listened to our needs and preferences and tailored our tour so well. It was much more like being with a friend than a "tour guide". Not knowing Berlin really at all we were slightly apprehensive at the prospect of biking in a big city, but it was perfect - most of the tour is not on busy streets, and even the busier bits were relatively calm. It never felt risky or stressful at all, especially with Michèle on hand. Book her today, you won't regret it!Michèle is amazing
