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!

The most wonderful afternoon tour! Miha’s skills, knowledge and abilities were absolutely the best. His insights certainly has made our experiencing Berlin an everlasting memory. 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. It was our honor to meet and share this time with Miha. Outstanding walking tour

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

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!

Miha was great. He met us at our hotel and walked us to all the sites we were hoping to see. He provided tons of personal insight, including restaurant recommendations – we tried two; both were fantastic. Would highly recommend Miha for anyone looking for a unique and insightful tour of BerlinWonderful Experience

We found the culinary tour very surprising. The food was diverse and more than plentiful, and it could be adjusted at any time to suit personal preferences. Dietary requirements were no problem at all. Seth is a pleasant man with a lot of knowledge about Berlin's history and shares fun and interesting facts. We really enjoyed it.Relaxte en orginele cullinaire ervaring

We were 6 ladies on a birthday weekend in Berlin and had the best time with Miha being our tour guide. He told us so many stories and historical facts about Berlin , related to the places , buildings we were passing, it was very interesting and fun at the same time. We also took many little side streets where Miha showed us such nice hidden spots, we absolutely loved it and want to come back for another tour with Miha!Awesome tour with MIHA

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

His knowledge of Berlin and its history is exceptional and he gave us great insights that we didn’t expect. We should have booked him for the Sachenhausen tour! Highly recommend Seth and With Locals tours. Seth from With Locals is awesome

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.

I can’t say enough good things about my tour with Miha! It was an incredible & amazing tour. Miha is very knowledgeable & geared my tour towards the history of Berlin & lots of fun facts along the way. He was so kind & it was a pleasure to tour with him. Miha even taught me some things I did not know about the S bahn & U bahn (such as the differences in the tickets and how to tell when the approaching train was full or semi full through the red lights.) Miha took me to the roof top of a building (I can’t remember the name) & we viewed beautiful Berlin from a different perspective. It was amazing! Miha even offered to help me purchase tour tickets and restaurant recommendations. He is a phenomenal & brilliant tour guide. I would highly recommend Miha as your tour guide. Excellent tour guide!

"I recently had the pleasure of exploring Berlin with Seth, and I cannot recommend him highly enough! As a history enthusiast, I was blown away by his in-depth knowledge and infectious passion for the city's complex past. From the Berlin Wall to the Brandenburg Gate, Seth brought every landmark to life with fascinating anecdotes and expert insights. His ability to weave together historical context, cultural nuances, and personal stories created a rich tapestry that left my husband and I with a profound appreciation for this incredible city. What sets Seth apart is his gift for storytelling. He has a unique ability to convey the emotional resonance of historical events, making the past feel so present Seth's expertise extends far beyond the typical tourist attractions. He took us to hidden gems and unexpected spots, revealing the lesser-known aspects of Berlin's history. His knowledge of the city's cultural landscape, from art to architecture, added depth and complexity to our tour. If you're seeking a historian guide who will transform your understanding of Berlin, look no further than Seth. His tours are a must-experience for anyone interested in history, culture, or simply gaining a deeper appreciation for this remarkable city. Don't miss the opportunity to explore Berlin with Seth. Book his tour and get ready for an unforgettable journey through the city's past, present, and future. Unforgettable experience

We enjoyed a personal tour with Miha, who knows Berlin extremely well. He took us all over the city while explaining the significance of various landmarks as they relate to WWII. Miha knew the answer to all our random questions and was fun to be with. The tour gave us a lot to think about and discuss later. The following days we were able to visit some of the museums and sites that Miha showed us during our exploration of Berlin. We also enjoyed an excellent Vietnamese restaurant recommended by Miha called King King. If you are planning a trip to Berlin I recommend you tour the city with Miha!!Berlin Live
