Claudia did a fantastic job of modifying our tour to reflect the freezing cold temperatures and slightly distracted teenagers. She was knowledgeable and considerate, with excellent English, sharing stories and facts for 3 hours. I especially appreciated her pit stop for hot chocolate and her willingness to keep tweaking the route for her audience. I would not hesitate to recommend Claudia. Enthusiastic and flexible guide

Alex kennt seine Stadt in und auswendig und zeigt einen die besten Orte in Berlin. Obwohl ich selbst regelmäßig in Berlin bin, hat mir Alex den ein oder anderen interessanten Ort zeigen können der mir selbst unbekannt war. Eine Tour mit Alex ist ein absoluter Muss für jeden der ein kulturelles Berlin abseits der Touristenströme entdecken will.Bester Tourguide in Berlin!!!

Miha was lovely. So informative too. Gave us a refresh of school history too as we were a little confused 😵‍💫 at times with Germanys and Berlin’s history. We loved it. Saw some awesome artwork on the walk too. Would recommend Miha as your tour guy. Really enjoyed our 3 hours with him. Thank you from your Aussie guests. Fun art and sights tour

We booked last minute and early on the day and were pleasantly surprised that Seth was available. He tailored the tour to our interests including providing excellent general knowledge. 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.

Alex tried his best in showing and sharing stories of Berlin. He was not our chosen guide - our original guide Minha was unable to make it (despite confirming he could) and we were transferred to Seth who then bounced us to Alex. Honestly, was disappointing and was thrown off. On hindsight, I should have cancelled when Minha couldn’t make it. It was our first visit to Berlin and our first tour upon landing on Berlin. Was hoping the tour gave us insights and insider tip to Berlin but experience was in line with expectation despite it being a private tour. Berlin - discovery

Seth is a very knowledgeable, easygoing guide that has a chill vibe and tailored a walking tour for us. We visited sites we didn’t know existed and saw many more places than we would have discovered on our own. He also taught us how/where to ride the Berlin subway!Knowledgeable, fun tour of Berlin

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

Seth was great. We all really enjoyed the walking tour. He is extremely knowledgeable and pointed out many things we had walked past the day before and didn’t realise its significance. His explanations were really clear and kept us all engaged for the three hours. My teenage children really enjoyed the tour and said they all learnt a lot. Thank you! Excellent walking tour

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

I was met by Alex at the hotel who was waiting for me. He introduced himself gave a brief outline of how he knew Berlin so well and the exciting thing we were going to explore. Alex is an encyclopaedia of information on Berlin from its architecture to the politics around the fall of the wall. Alex was extremely well informed to the events of the war and the main areas of interest. He was sensitive to past and excited for the future of Berlin. Alex has a magical storytelling ability so as your are consumed with the tour. I can not recommend Alex enough, if you are looking for an amazing tour please book Alex you will not be disappointed.

I had the pleasure of spending the day with Claudia who kindly took the time to introduce me to the beautiful city of Berlin and its rich history. Every moment was enjoyable and truly unforgettable, thanks to her warmth and engaging personality. Claudia kindness and enthusiasm made it easy to connect and feel at ease. It’s rare to meet someone who leaves such a lasting impression in such a short time. As I prepare to return to Oman, I sincerely hope for another opportunity to meet again. I’d also love to return the favor and introduce her to Oman’s peaceful atmosphere, stunning nature, and unique landmarks like the Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque, Jebel Akhdar, and the Wahiba Sands. Thank you for such a memorable day—it was an experience I’ll always treasure!Wonderful Day in berlin

We had just a short window of time in Berlin with two friends who had never visited before, and I was so happy to find Michele to give us this quick tour of some of the highlights. She was such a pleasure to spend the afternoon with, like running into a super cool opera singer friend in Berlin! Having spent quite a bit of time in Berlin myself in the past, I thought her route and highlights and explanations were a great mix of old and new, history and what’s happening currently in Berlin. She gave us some good suggestions for finding a bite to eat and followed up in With Locals messenger with more - much appreciated! I would definitely book another longer tour with Michele next time. And hope to see her at the opera someday.Perfect express tour with Michele!
