This was a first visit to Berlin for both my husband and myself and Miha was the perfect guide. His love for the city and his extensive knowledge shone through and he was endlessly patient with our many questions. We enjoyed his company and his willingness to share facts, anecdotes and personal experience. Thank you Miha for a great start to what had been a wonderful stay in Berlin!!A great introduction to Berlin!

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

13 April 2025

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

11 April 2025

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.

(About local Miha)

3 April 2025

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

First visit to Berlin, and we booked this experience for day one. What a phenomenal walking tour with Pablo. He made us feel relaxed and we built an instant rapport. Great facts and trivia about Berlin and German history. We would recommend this experience and especially Pablo, who even managed to organise a stunning sunset (lol!) at the end of the tour. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Heavenly historical hike!

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

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!!!

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
