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

Spending a few hours eating and drinking with Sara was an absolute pleasure. She accommodated my pescatarian teenager, despite Berlin not being a terribly seafood friendly city. Extremely knowledgeable and interesting throughout, not just with food, but also with respect to culture, history and politics. Learnt a lot, and a great introduction to the Kreuzberg district. Thoroughly enjoyed our time with Sara. Positive feedback from 2 teenagers as well!Excellent guide and food

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!

Por favor no duden en reservar u tour con Pablo!! Realmente cambi toda su visita a Berlín! Pasamos por los mismos lugares que habíamos visitado solos pero tomaron una profundidad, una riqueza que nunca hubiésemos logrado sin él. Pablo es sumamente culto, informado y, a la vez, ameno, cálido, cercano. Fue mejor de lo que podríamos haber pedido. Respondió todas nuestras preguntas, adaptó el recorrido a nuestros intereses, fue super generoso con su tiempo. No suelo dejar reviews pero realmente quiero transmitir lo importante de hacer esto, cambia todo!!!!! Como una viñeta representativa: ayer pasamos por un lugar que, pensamos, era una biblioteca refaccionaría. Hoy, con Pablo, no esteramos que en realidad era una sala homenaje a la quema de libros nazi y toda la historia por detrás. Es eso: conocer la ciudad o solo caminar sus calles. Arreglen con Pablo y conozcan de verdad Berlín. Gamechanger in your visit!

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

Elisabetta was fun and engaging and knowledgeable, but also able to listen. The tour was not so much about the museums, but more about the more hidden history of Berlin. Thus, it turned out to be much better as a result. She showed us areas of Berlin off the beaten track, which turned out to be a highlight of the tour and to be highly recommended before the other tourists find it! Gracie Elisabetta.Excellent 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

Oh Elisabetta, you were a highlight of our visit to Berlin! As an artist your eye for what to see in the street art was spot on— we now look at street art with a practiced eye. The stories about the artists, evolution of the medium—value of paste ups— made for a delightful experience. Lunch recommendation was amazing! I hope whoever is reading this books you!!!A new appreciation for Street Art

Elisabetta packed a lot of Berlin magic into a brief stroll! She really worked with our time constraint but gave us a fabulous tour nonetheless. In just a short time she led us to some real highlights, shared fascinating stories, and happily answered every question we threw her way. The sunny weather helped, but it was her enthusiasm and deep knowledge that truly made the walk memorable. Highly recommend her tour if you want an engaging, information-rich overview without losing half a day.Can't go wrong if you choose Elisabetta!

I was traveling with my elderly husband, who is 90 years old and he has some energy and mobility issues. Elisabetta absolutely rolled out the red carpet and made our fascinating, curated tour of Berlin easy and fun for him. He was sat in the front seat next to her, and she made sure he was involved and enjoying himself. I can't say enough how special Elisabetta is. And even more, she showed us a side of Berlin that we never would have seen, and shared her personal story and point of view with us, which added to our understanding of the art scene in Berlin. It was a morning so well spent. I can't recommend Elisabetta enough. Absolutely Perfect for Our Needs

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

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

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

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.
