It was great to see and hear about parts of Berlin we wouldn't normally have experienced on a big tour. Lee was interesting and informative and was happy to answer our questions. He gave us a chance to taste a good selection of food including vegan donuts, Vietnamese spring rolls, currywurst and apple strudel. Thank you Lee! Interesting and personal

Juan has lots of knowledge and history of Berlin and shared in an entertaining way. We visited 4 different Christmas markets along the way. The tastings were not the expected result- one pretzel, one beer, one hot drink and one bratwurst and shared berliner…. Not what a sampler tasting of 6 would suggest for the price of 95 euros a person.Great knowledge but lacked value

We had a nice time together with Anastasia, and we visited parts of Berlin that we wouldn’t have visit otherwise. Good guiding Though, a bit far to expensive for what we got during these two houres. Nice but expensive

A big thank you to Michele who stepped in last minute when another guide became unavailable. We had a lovely tour with Michele exploring the East side. Michele took us to places we would never have found on our own. The street art was amazing and Michele definitely ‘knew her stuff’, giving us lots of interesting information and personal stories. We would definitely recommend Michele for a walking tour of Berlin. Thank you Michele for making our day.Lovely tour with Michele

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

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

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

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.

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!

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!

I had an amazing visit to Kreuzberg which will live on as a very special memory of my trip to Berlin - the very best of a number of good experiences. 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

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.
