Miha was a wonderful guide - it was a great way to learn about Berlin to help shape the rest of our visit. Miha shared history, backstories and local secrets. We so enjoyed our conversations - we could ask anything and got an honest local perspective. Great way to start a vacation

I recently did a 4-hour walking tour of Berlin with Miha, and it was nothing short of incredible. Miha brought the city to life with a perfect blend of history, culture, and local insight. From iconic landmarks to hidden gems, he made sure we experienced both the must-see sights and the soul of the city. What truly stood out was Miha’s passion and depth of knowledge—he shared stories that were both powerful and thought-provoking, while keeping the tour engaging and accessible. Whether it was discussing Berlin’s complex past or pointing out the best local spots, he made every moment count. If you’re in Berlin and want more than just a sightseeing trip—something meaningful, informative, and inspiring—this tour is a must. Highly recommended! An Unforgettable Berlin Walking Tour!

We very much enjoyed our tour with Miha. He provided a lot of information and was very happy and able to answer our many questions, including questions about Berlin more broadly and not only the 'topic' of the tour. He was friendly and was flexible in his approach to the tour, taking into consideration what we had or hadn't already seen.Friendly and informative

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

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

We had the pleasure of being guided through Berlin by Juan, and it was an absolutely fantastic experience! Not only was he incredibly knowledgeable about the city's rich history and landmarks, but his enthusiasm and energy made the tour feel lively and engaging. On top of that, he was extremely flexible, adjusting the tour to make sure it worked perfectly around our dinner plans. We learned so much while also having a great time. Highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Berlin!A blend of history and architecture

Very knowledgeable about the history of Germany, the Kreuzberg area, and the food we were experiencing. We wish we had more room for all the amazing food we tasted. We would do it again, recommend it highly!!!Fantastic day with Uygur!

If you’re looking for the perfect way to experience Berlin’s beauty and history, look no further than a private bike tour with Miha. I had the pleasure of doing just that, and it was easily one of the highlights of my trip to Germany. From the moment I met Miha, I knew I was in great hands. Energetic, knowledgeable, and full of charm, he guided me effortlessly through the heart of Berlin — from iconic landmarks to hidden gems I would never have found on our own. It was the ideal balance of storytelling and sightseeing: Miha brought the past to life with gripping anecdotes and a great knowledge of history, all while making sure I was enjoying the ride (literally!). Loved it!!!!!!Miha Made Berlin Shine!

He told us so many stories and historical facts about Berlin , related to the places , buildings we were passing, it was very interesting and fun at the same time. We also took many little side streets where Miha showed us such nice hidden spots, we absolutely loved it and want to come back for another tour with Miha!Awesome tour with MIHA

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

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

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.

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

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!

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!
