He went above and beyond, even bringing us to the train station himself to make sure we get back to our hotel. Thanks Miha for making our short stay in Berlin memorable! Must book y'all!

Spent a lovely day exploring Potsdam with Tiago. Tiago was friendly, enthusiastic and knowledgeable about the Potsdam area.
With hindsight we would have liked to have visited the Bridge of Spies and the Potsdam Conference Centre but quite a large area to cover.Grrat day at Potsdam

Really enjoyed our tour with Tiago. He was lovely and very knowledgeable. We did however, feel that it ended rather abruptly and we weren't informed that we were walking back to the station. 40 plus minutes of travelling to and from Potsdam cut into the 4 hours allocated plus we finished with half an hour to spare. It would perhaps be better to meet at Potsdam thus allowing more time for the tour. It would also have been nice to have had the opportunity to stop for refreshments or even been told that the tour was close to finishing so that we could have perhaps decided to stay in Potsdam to have lunch or a drink.Informative tour

I have been to Berlin a few times before but now I had the time to explore the city a little more. I booked the Gems of Potsdam Tour with Miha and - due to a public transportation strike - we quickly decided to do a Gems of Berlin Mitte Tour :-)
Miha is very open and it has been so easy to start a conversation with him. You can tell from the first minute that he loves Berlin and loves what he is doing. He tailored the 'improvised' tour exactly to my taste. He is talkative and knows so much about history, (street) art and those little stories that only locals know. I really enjoyed the time exploring the city with him a lot.
I will definitely come back to Berlin to do the Potsdam tour with Miha!
Thank you Miha for your time, your stories and for the wonderful, multifaceted person you are!Miha, you are awesome!

Whit is very congenial, flexible and knowledgeable about the area as well as about the history, art and architecture of Potsdam. He loves to share his ideas and experiences on any subject, not just about Potsdam and its kings and castles. We also enjoyed a lovely stroll through the mature gardens of the SansSoucci Palace and a very pleasant walk through the central area of Potsdam. Along the way, we learned many historical facts about Peter the Great and his exploits.
A very worthwhile excursion. Thanks Whit!

We had the best time touring Potsdam with Miha! He was very engaging and entertaining. Most of all, you can tell that he has a real love for traveling, history, and culture. Miha is certainly able to give you a first- rate tour of the most popular sites in a given area, but what makes him stand out is that he is also very adept at tailoring a tour to your own preferences. If you are reading this and wondering if you should book a tour with Miha for Berlin or Potsdam, do it! I promise that you will walk away with a much better understanding and far greater appreciation of these cities. Around Town with Miha!

Betty was just incredible! I would say our trip to Potsdam was easily the most fun & memorable of our eight days in Berlin because of her. She has a great sense of humor, is very lively, enthusiastic, flexible, and very, very knowledgeable. I found her to be a natural story-teller, bringing to life such characters as Frederick the Great and his father and the uniting of Germany so as to help make sense of everything we were seeing around us. She could point things out about the art, architecture, sculpture, and layout of the city around us, how it came to be, the thinking behind it, how it was impacted by the war. This was only topped, perhaps, by her insightful, loving, and sometimes wry perspectives on Berlin itself as we traveled by train to and from Potsdam; I learned more from Betty's thoughts and observations about Berlin and what has made it what it is today in a few short hours than I did in all the rest of our time there. Warm and easy to be with, always thoughtful, Betty is a guide I would enthusiastically recommend to anyone who wants to learn anything about Berlin!Amazing tour guide

We had a lovely time in Potsdam with Miha. He was really friendly and so knowledgeable. Potsdam really is a must visit place and so easy to get to from Berlin. Miha had organised all our train and tram tickets so all we had to do was look at the amazing palaces and listen to Miha’s stories. Highly recommended.

This was the best way to get to know Berlin on our first trip to the city. Pablo showed us the big sights, but took us to less well known places that we would not have otherwise visited. He told us the history and stories behind the sights which was exactly what we wanted from the tour. He was super friendly and fun to be with for the afternoon and patient and accommodating when I wanted to stop to take photographs.
I would have no hesitation in recommended Pablo as your tour guide.Under the skin of Berlin with Pablo

Martin was fantastic. Provided us with insights into East Berlin and the political and social culture of the time. Brought the not so distant past into sharp relief with stories and interesting facts that we would never have had the chance to experience or understand. The private tour is well worth the money as we were able to ask lots of questions and interact with him.
He made us feel comfortable right away. I did the tour mostly because of my husbands interest but I left feeling invigorated. Plan on watching all the movies he suggested and learning more about the Cold War because of Martin’s tour. His restaurant recommendations are also spot on.
Highly recommend it. Thank you Martin. Converted me into a history enthusiast

What a breath of fresh air and inspiring enthusiasm Betty brought us whilst showing us “artsy Berlin”. Not only is Betty very knowledgeable and is she up to speed in what’s new and happening in Berlin, she is proved to be a great source of Berlin’s history and facts. Add to all this Betty’s pleasant and bubbly personality and you can guess what a wonderful time we had exploring Berlin. Betty; Bliss in Berlin

Touring Berlin with Martin was an absolute DELIGHT!! I booked five hours with him and the time flew by. He is extremely knowledgeable, great company, a wonderful storyteller, and answered my myriad of questions in a thorough and thoughtful way.
He could tell what my interests were and customized the tour accordingly. I truly felt like I was exploring the city with an old buddy of mine. By the time our tour ended, I felt like I gained a deep understanding of the culture, both past and present. I wish I was in Berlin for a longer amount of time so that I could book additional tours with him! I will recommend him to everyone I know!!!The best tour guide EVER!!

We enjoyed our food tour of ‘ten tastes’ in Berlin with Thiago who did a good job considering he explained he wasn’t feeling great when we started the tour.
In heavy snow (beautiful!) we wandered the suburbs of Berlin and ate a variety of foods.
There were some interesting tastes included on the tour, which wasn’t quite what we expected.
We had expected the best of traditional German cuisine but Thiago explained that much of the fast food was traditional.
Overall we felt the
Experience was a little expensive but interesting.
Ways to improve the tour would be include some drinks (even water) as lots of the food was high in salt.
On previous European food tours seating was reserved ahead of arrival and food was higher quality, but in hindsight the cuisine in Berlin was unlikely to match the likes of Thailand or Rome!Food tour in Berlin

had the absolute pleasure of spending four hours with Betty on a tour exploring the history of Berlin and World War II, and I couldn’t recommend her enough! Betty is not just a guide; she’s an incredible storyteller with a fun, energetic personality that makes history come alive.
What stood out the most was how effortlessly Betty wove historical facts about Berlin and its architecture into fascinating stories. She has a knack for presenting information in a way that’s engaging and easy to follow, even for those who might not typically find history exciting. Time flew by as she brought each monument and historical sight to life with insights you won’t find in history books.
Betty also went beyond the typical tourist trail, taking me to hidden spots and little-known gems that gave the tour a unique, personal touch. Along the way, we had great conversations that made the experience even more enjoyable.
I learned so much, had a fantastic time, and left with a deeper appreciation for Berlin’s rich history. If you’re looking for a tour guide who’s knowledgeable, entertaining, and truly passionate about what they do, Betty is the one. Highly recommended!insightful fun and engaging

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.
