We did the children tour allong the wall with Uygur. We had our two children, aged 9 and 12, with us and had a wonderfull two hours. Uygur was nice, helpfull and really great at engaging the kids. One of the highlights was drawing with chalk on the wall. Highly recommend!!!Fantastic tour and guide

Abbiamo passeggiato per vie e quartieri di Berlino vistando angoli della città che se fossimo stati da soli non avremmo mai visto. Elisabetta è un'autentica appassionata ed oltre a spiegarci in modo impeccabile tanti dettagli della street art e dei suoi artisti, ci ha dato una visione unica e dall'interno delle metamorfosi che sta vivendo la città. Grazie anche per l'ottimo ristorante che ci hai consigliato!Bellissima esperienza

Uygur was a great guide - very friendly and with lots of ‘insider’ advice about the aspects of Berlin we were most interested in. We did this on our first day in Berlin and it helped to orientate us and help us decide what else we wanted to prioritise. We also really appreciated the sensitive overview of Berlin’s very troubled history. A great intro to Berlin

Lee was extremely knowledgeable and we had a great time being toured around Berlin with him. He was able to field all our questions and he was patient while we juggled our 4 year old along the way. Lee helped us set up with the local travel app and provided the best advice on how to use the public transport and to onward red recommendations for the remainder of the stay. Lovely time in Berlin

Por favor no duden en reservar u tour con Pablo!! Realmente cambi toda su visita a Berlín! Pasamos por los mismos lugares que habíamos visitado solos pero tomaron una profundidad, una riqueza que nunca hubiésemos logrado sin él. Pablo es sumamente culto, informado y, a la vez, ameno, cálido, cercano. Fue mejor de lo que podríamos haber pedido. Respondió todas nuestras preguntas, adaptó el recorrido a nuestros intereses, fue super generoso con su tiempo. No suelo dejar reviews pero realmente quiero transmitir lo importante de hacer esto, cambia todo!!!!! Como una viñeta representativa: ayer pasamos por un lugar que, pensamos, era una biblioteca refaccionaría. Hoy, con Pablo, no esteramos que en realidad era una sala homenaje a la quema de libros nazi y toda la historia por detrás. Es eso: conocer la ciudad o solo caminar sus calles. Arreglen con Pablo y conozcan de verdad Berlín. Gamechanger in your visit!

This tour was a high point of our trip to Berlin. Our guide Uygur was very knowledgeable about the art we examined and gave us interesting background information about the the street art scene in Kreuzberg. He even gave us restaurant recommendations and some fascinating info about the Turkish community of Berlin. All in all it was a great tour and everyone in my party enjoyed it very much. We would recommend this very highly! Outstanding Kreuzberg Tour

Elisabetta was fun and engaging and knowledgeable, but also able to listen. The tour was not so much about the museums, but more about the more hidden history of Berlin. Thus, it turned out to be much better as a result. She showed us areas of Berlin off the beaten track, which turned out to be a highlight of the tour and to be highly recommended before the other tourists find it! Gracie Elisabetta.Excellent tour

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

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

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

Elisabetta was outstanding and so much fun to be with. We had some last minute (same day) timing and location changes and she worked with me to be able to maximize our tour and meet our timelines. Saw amazing sites that we would have never found on our own. Highly recommend Elisabetta for a tour, especially if your interested in an artist’s flair. Berlin with Elisabetta

Lee was very knowledgable and generous with his time. We took the kick start tour and off-the-beaten-track. Lee was happy to tailor things to our requests and introduced us to many ideas and sights we would otherwise have missed. It was a very short visit for us and we definitely got a lot more from the trip because of Lee’s input. It was also my first time in Germany and he kindly helped me work out a few valuable travel logistics for our trip which I really appreciated.

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

Lee was excellent in introducing us to some of the main aspects of the modern history or Berlin. A really friendly and engaging style using historical photos to compare what we saw on the tour with pre the wall coming down. Our first time in Berlin and we were keen to spend sometime with a local to get an overview of Berlin and some thoughts of things to do / see, Lee was really informative, our only regret was we hadn’t booked a longer tour. Lee - many thanks for the Berlin introduction, have a great trip. Mark & PippaFab introduction to Berlin
