Heerlijke wandel tocht gemaakt met Urgur (en zijn 12 jarige dochter). Begonnen bij Anne Frank museum om een indruk te krigen van de vele streetartists hun manier van communiceren. Duurzaam, effectief en heel inspirerend. Uygur's dochter wist de artisten op de muur tussen al die duizenden afbeeldingen feillos aan te wijzen ! Jmmy C, maar ook Mimi the Cat. Het museum is aan te bevelen, weggestopt in een steegje. Zegt dat wat? Vandaar op ons verzoek naar Kreuzberg, daar waar UYGUR als (voormalig?) bewoner veel van wist. Het " little Istanbul" , waar Engels en Turks de voortaal zijn. Veel geschiedenis en een wijk nog steeds in beweging. Wilt u een ander beeld krijgen van Berlijn, doe deze wijk aan. Een rondleiding met gevoel en empathie. Berlin, city of many faces

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

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

We scheduled a kickstart tour with Miha while in Berlin recently. Found him to be very knowledgeable about Berlins history and showed us a lot in the amount of time allotted for this tour. We especially liked that he helped us navigate the subway - so helpful! Don't hesitate to use him for your next tour!

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!

He provided not only the city’s history but shared stories that gave us a deeper understanding and perspective. And he was kind enough to answer all of our questions.

Michele was an amazing guide for us. We walked most of the tour to see the highlights of the city. Great background knowledge about the history but also relevant details about the Berlin of today. 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. Amazing & Passionate guide!

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!

Juan introduced me to the unique history of this area and showed me how this is very much present in the atmospheric, beautiful, iconic and thought provoking streets and buildings we walked through. Juan's knowledge and passion for Berlin was my very great luck to share in. Thank you Juan for a very special afternoon in Kreuzberg. Unforgettable visit to Kreuzberg

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

This was my first time in Berlin and I didn’t choose the tourist highlights although even on this ‘off the beaten track’ tour there were large groups of tourists going through these areas. Miha was very knowledgeable and helped orient me to the area and point out the street art. We had a beautiful sunny spring day to explore Berlin and I appreciated the artisanal coffee shop he took me to. The only downside was that he arrived late and could have been better at communicating this to me. He did answer quickly once I messaged him on the app. Great street art tour

Spent a wonderful day with Seth visiting the house where the Wannsee Conference was held, then we went to see the KGB Prison at Leistikowstraße, and finally walked through Potsdam, visiting the Dutch Quarter, having lunch and hearing great stories about WW2 and the Cold War. Seth helped us plan our day and set our itinerary around what we suggested and then made his own recommendations so the logistics of our travels made sense. He is well versed and personable and an an overall great guy. My 15 year old son said our day with Seth was the highlight of our trip to Berlin. Reach out to Seth and schedule a day with him. You will have a great time! Great day with Seth in Berlin and Potsdam

We have a 12 & a 5 year old so It is not easy to lead a tour with children. But he was very patient & tried to tailor the tour to suit the family needs. He brought us to the key attractions and he took into consideration where we like to visit and dropped us off at our first x’mas market. ( we were doing a road trip in Germany) My son left his phone at the Holocust memorial he was quick to offer to go back to look for the phone. And by the grace of God, we found it! Thanks to the staff onsite who kept it safe for us. Overall, it was a great trip by Miha , thanks Miha!! A patient & experienced guide.
