We spent two hours with Miha as he took us on a walking tour of Berlin and into The Reichstag. Unlike other tour guides we’ve had in the past, Miha stayed with us, listening along to the audio tour and adding additional information and context to what was on the recording. He was also generous with answers about his family’s experiences with events in Europe over the last 80 years that really brought the history out of names and dates into the impact it had on people and their descendants. A friendly, knowledgeable guy, I’d highly recommend Miha. Making history personal

Uygur was a great guide - very friendly and with lots of ‘insider’ advice about the aspects of Berlin we were most interested in. We did this on our first day in Berlin and it helped to orientate us and help us decide what else we wanted to prioritise. We also really appreciated the sensitive overview of Berlin’s very troubled history. A great intro to Berlin

Juan was fantastic from start to finish! From our very first contact, he was attentive and accommodating. The day before the tour, he asked if we had any special preferences and even arranged to start directly from our hotel – a thoughtful touch that was both convenient and far from obvious. During the tour, he adapted his original plan on the spot to follow our interests and satisfy our curiosities. His knowledge of the city and its history is impressive, and he brought everything to life with unique, unexpected anecdotes that made the experience truly memorable.Friendly, Knowledgeable, Tailor-Made Tour

We did a WW2 tour with Miha, with a group including our kids (9, 13), and in-laws (70's), and everyone had a great time. We got an amazing introduction and overview to all of Berlin, but the best was the personal stories and getting to know Miha. He was obviously a very passionate guide, well-informed, and very personable. The pace was perfect for us, and the time flew by. We would absolutely recommend this, or any tour with Miha.Wonderful guide and experience.

Juan is a superb guide who has a wealth of knowledge of Berlin. We were visiting Berlin in a quest to find my father’s home in Charlottenburg. Juan located the house and spent time acquainting us with the area. He was prompt picking us up. Neither my husband nor I are youngsters and he paced the tours beautifully. We learned so much from Juan and would highly recommend him to anyone wanting to get a good appreciation of Berlin and its history.Making Memories with Juan

Lee was extremely knowledgeable and we had a great time being toured around Berlin with him. He was able to field all our questions and he was patient while we juggled our 4 year old along the way. Lee helped us set up with the local travel app and provided the best advice on how to use the public transport and to onward red recommendations for the remainder of the stay. Lovely time in Berlin

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!

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

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

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.

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
