We recently booked a 3-hour tour with Violeta for one of our colleagues visiting from Dubai, and it was an incredible experience! Violeta's deep knowledge of Berlin's history, culture, and hidden gems made the tour both informative and engaging. She tailored the tour perfectly to our colleague's interests, providing a fascinating mix of iconic landmarks and lesser-known spots. Her friendly and professional demeanor made the entire experience enjoyable. Our colleague was thoroughly impressed and left with a newfound appreciation for Berlin. We highly recommend Violeta to anyone looking for a top-notch tour guide in the city!Exceptional Berlin Tour with Violeta

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

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

We had great time with Miha for our Berlin tour. He has been very knowledgeable and adaptable considering that we had already visited certain sightseeing the day before. I especially appreciated the time he dedicated to our 9 year old son, answering with patience to all his questions! It has been a good combination of classic historical facts, combined also with many insider tips ! Highly recomendable!Family tour

26 October 2024

My wife and I live nearby Berlin and had two Chinese/American visitors over for whom I had mainly booked the tour. We were all extremely impressed with Juan's tour and his abilities as a guide. It turned out, even I did not know the majority of the sites and attractions myself, and - if I did - Juan always had a take on things that shone a new light on them. He is super enthusiastic, lives in Berlin for 25 years and has a profound knowledge of Berlin's history, architecture, arts, culture, libraries etc and obviously loves the city. He is very communicative, answers all your questions, also says when he does not know something (hardly the case though), and often shows you pictures on his tablet. on what places looked like in the past so you can compare them to what you see, today, so you can really get a very good impression of the changes that Berlin underwent throughout history. Juan also suggested two restaurants, one of which we went to after the tour, which was exactly the right thing and reasonably priced. This was a great 3 hour tour through Berlin which deeply impressed us and we can only wholeheartedly recommend Juan as a guide!Outstanding tour and guide!

Michele gave my husband and I a fascinating tour of all the main sites in central Berlin. We'd arranged this for the first full day of our trip, and I would recommend this timing as she also provided great suggestions of things to do on the following days. We learnt so much about the city and its history in a really enjoyable way, plus some great pointers as to where to find good craft beer. And we were lucky enough to manage to buy seats for the Berlin State Opera's wonderful production of Nabucco and watched Michele performing in the chorus! Brilliant & thought provoking tour.

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!

We spent a very pleasant day touring Berlin with Seth. Seth is eager to share his knowledge of this very interesting city. We did a walking tour and covered a lot of territory, without it ever feeling like we were rushed. The history/content is difficult to comprehend but so worthwhile. An education for sure. An educational day in Berlin

Juan was ABSOLUTELY GREAT! He adjusted the tour to our pace (we have 2 boys ages 9 & 12). Juan gave us the right mix of highlighting the main buildings and the history behind each of them, while also showing a couple of hidden gems along the way. I strongly recommend booking Juan for your Berlin tour!Best kick-off to our Berlin Experience!

He is very knowledgeable on all things Berlin, he is very good on explaining things in a way that my kids were engaged and understood everything that was being explained. Seth did a great job of understanding when we were getting tired and shaped the tours to get us the most of our time without getting us bored. If your considering any tours in Berlin Seth is your guy! Amazing Tour Guide

We spent a great morning with Seth. Seth took us on an off the beaten track tour. He was very knowledgeable and he made the tour very interesting with a lot of local back stories which really brought our understanding of the city to life. We started in the Tiergarten to the Victory column. Then a bus to the Kaiser-Wilhelm church and then to Die Hackenschen Hoefe (where we had an excellent coffee stop), over to Museum Island, Lustgarten, Neue Wache and finishing at Bebelplatz. We had a thoroughly brilliant morning and we would highly recommend a private tour with Seth to get the most out of your time in this amazing city.

Miha created a special tour for us based on our professions (architect and urban planner). We never would have seen all the special buildings, courtyards, parks, and memorials in 4 hours without him. He knows the history and details of everything. He loves what he does and it shows. Don’t hesitate to book him! Amazing 4 Hour Whirlwind Tour!

We were delighted with our morning in Berlin, guided by Seth. He was able to give us a general overview, as well as taking us to places of interest that we would certainly have missed without him. He was knowledgeable, had interesting views and was good company. His recommendation of the Jewish Museum, which we saw the following day, proved to be a major highlight of our visit.A morning with Seth

A very good tour for someone who wants to have highlights of the city in three hours. Miha knows the city very well, and has some good stories to tell. He was very nice to recommend an exhibition that was soon to close and helped me buy ticket. We used the underground and the bus which is really helpful as he taught me how to use the transportation system. He is a very nice person, and we had great conversation during the three hours. It went by fast!A very personal rating

25 April 2022

This was the very first time that I booked through withlocals and I have to say that I probably will only want to engage in tours like this one going forward. Miha was an amazing tour guide. He was very engaging and you can tell that he loves showing people around Berlin. His knowledge of old and new Berlin was vast; like an encyclopedia of information. It was the perfect tour for a first time traveler to Berlin who wants to learn about some of the most important events and their associated locales. To start, the meeting location was perfect; right by the train station in front of the Ritz Carlton. Miha then takes you on a journey through the city and weaving all of his knowledge into the experience. Whatever question I had, Miha had an answer for. I learned so much about what Berlin was like before, during, and after the Nazi regime, as well as before and after the fall of the Berlin Wall, and how present day Berlin continues to evolve and build. It was also interesting to learn more than what I already knew about the government structure of Germany and the socialized nature of society in comparison to my country, the United States. The other great part is that being the only other person on the tour, we were able to talk about other things outside of Berlin and I liked learning more about how Miha came to live in Berlin and how he lives and what his interests are. It made the experience much more personalized and something that I will forever remember. I definitely recommend and will book through withlocals in other countries I visit. Thanks Miha for a great experience. Amazing Tour for First Timer to Berlin

We've used Withlocals before and didn't hesitate to hire them again. And we weren't disappointed! Miha gave us an excellent tour of areas either not mentioned or briefly mentioned in tour books. He knew his history and made it come alive. The tour of the Holocaust Memorial was especially moving because of the experience he gave us. He was especially helpful to us, first time American tourists, in navigating the city, the public transportation systems, and city protocols. I would hire Miha again. Thank you, Miha.

We came to Berlin as a last minute, unplanned trip and had no idea what there was to do here. Christian was the best guide. He was very friendly and easy to talk to, as well as extremely knowledgeable and able to answer our questions. The tour was really fun and personal. He completely altered the second part of the tour and tailored it to our interests. We also really enjoyed getting inside knowledge on where the locals like to hang out and get food. He has awesome recommendations for other places to check out on Berlin. I highly recommend getting Christian for your private tour of Berlin if you want a fun and informative day with a really lovely guide. Christian was the best guide

Miah also helped us to purchase our train tickets, accompanied us on part of our journey, which set our minds at ease and gave us confidence to use the public transport system on offer. We would advise everyone to book a tour with Miha on their first day of their holidays. It's a must!!

Jim was very knowledgeable about all aspects of Berlin, despite having lived there only a short time. He knew how to explain sites in an interesting and. humorous way. We started at Potsdamer Platz, passed through Sony Centre, toured the Holocaust Memorial, saw the Brandenburg Cate and then took a U-barn to the Jewish quarter, which was fascinating. We came back past the Berlin Cathedral, crossed over Museum Island, saw Homboldt University and the memorial to the book-burning, which was amazing, and returned to our hotel near the Brandenburg Gate. He always had an interesting story to tell about everything. 10 out of 10. It really was a Berlin highlights and hidden gems, as it title implied. Jim is a superb guide.
