Booked the 3 hour Berlin tour with Juan. He was a great guide. Knew all the history of each destination we visited, plus he answered numerous questions from me, recommended a great restaurant at the end of the tour and emailed me a list of other sites to see during my visit based on my interests. I highly recommend Juan.Great experience with Juan

This was our first visit to Berlin and we were looking for a general orientation to the city plus a deeper look at its history. Seth was terrific. He was flexible and responsive to our preferences (we are seniors and took it a bit slow on a very hot day.) He conveyed a huge amount of information to us in 3 hours, covering and weaving in past centuries of German history, the world wars, the division of Germany in 1945, and the post-reunification period. Fascinating! Excellent guide!Intelligent, Knowledgeable, Insightful

Michelle really loves her adopted city. Her knowledge of the history and importance of what happened in Berlin was very clear. She took us to all the key sites we had asked to see and shared many stories in details we would not have read or heard of. She also helped us with reservation ideas and what to do after the tour. It was a great day.Michele is an amazing guide!

We took a three-hour walking tour with Michele. And, although my feet were a bit sore by the end, it was worth every minute. She was extremely knowledgable and interesting. The depth and breadth of her knowledge was very impressive. It was great to meet someone who actually lives in Berlin and get to ask her all the questions that we'd been wondering about. Plus her own career and how she got to Berlin made for some fascinating anecdotes. Great tour guide

We had a great walking tour around Berlin with Seth. Despite being a comparatively large city, he walked us through all of the main highlights that we were keen on seeing and exploring, and shared much of his knowledge of the country's and city's rich history with us. Seth also thoughtfully shared a few locations for us to check out more local attractions and authentic cuisine. Recommendations on point, and good company to get to know the city of Berlin!Intriguing exploration of Berlin with Seth

We had a fantastic tour with Pablo. We are so impressed of his knowledge and how engaged he was. Our wish was to visit the eastern and north eastern parts of Berlin and to learn about Berlin during the Cold War.
This tour were lots more than we had expected. And it covered exactly the things that we wanted to see and discover.
We had a great day!
Many thanks, Pablo.

Wow! What a great morning walking and touring Berlin with Seth. He was perfect for us. We learned so much about history, saw some well known sites but also a number of things that we would not have had the opportunity to see without his guidance. Many hidden gems. He was personable, knowledgeable and really fun to hang out with. Next time in Berlin, I am booking Seth to see more. Thank you Seth for a great experience.Amazing walking tour of Berlin with Seth

Really great tour - we opted for an alternative option rather than the standard sites will not suit everyone if they only have one day in Berlin but we opted for this alternative tour missing out the more obvious tourist sites as we had a free day on Sunday (no shopping either so loads of time to do the obvious stuff). Milena was really helpful making the most of our time by tailoring the tour to what we were doing before and after. Her knowledge of the cultural, underground and food scene in Berlin was really helpful and we saw a side and parts of Berlin we would never have experienced. Thanks Milena.Berlin with Milena

Upon meeting Milena the first time, I already felt comfortable talking to her. She is like a friend you are meeting on vacation. She is very down to earth and she radiates a positive energy. I was glad I chose her to take us around some sites in Berlin. She also suggested good places to eat and most importantly taught us how to use the train. I will always remember her and that smile when I think of Berlin!Passionate

I don’t usually write reviews unless something stands out, good or bad. Our walking tour with Seth was so good it needs to be highlighted. Seth was great about asking us about places we wanted to see and have a handful of suggestions that we wouldn’t have otherwise noted. He was extremely knowledgeable and shared a lot of why things were the way they were. He was also very easy to talk to and made asking questions easy. His knowledge of the transportation system let us cover a lot ground in a short time. We easy used train, tram and bus for short hops to different destinations. Excellent Experience with Seth

We very much enjoyed our 'tour' with Anastasia - which was much more a conversation than a simple re-hashing of Berlin history. We all engaged in a variety of subjects and the meaning of each landmark we visited. History, art, society, governance structure, and conflict were topics that provided wonderful fodder for our time with Anastasia. Well done!A conversation in Berlin

Martin was a delight. He is well versed in German—and Berlin—history and culture and explains it through a contemporary lens, informed by life experience before and after the Wall. He is witty and charming—a natural at his job. He communicated promptly and professionally before the tour. He speaks English like a native. Highly recommend!Knowlegeable and fun

Martin showed us around Inner Berlin Mitte on our arrival in the city for the first time. We saw a lot of the major historical landmarks and Martin was very knowledgeable about the history and significance of the city. Martin took us to some out of the way areas that were of interest to us including the major theatres and cultural centres and a lovely stroll through the Jewish Quarter. My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our time with Martin and I would highly recommend to anyone interested in a deep dive for a short visit to Berlin. Such a pleasure. Thanks so much Martin.

From the moment we met Martin, we knew we were in for a great day. Martin brought his dog Wylie along and being dog lovers missing our own dog, it felt very local wandering around with a dog in tow.
Martin was extremely accomodating and knowledgeable. We covered everything we wanted to see and more, with great background and history as well as conversation.
Martin knew his history in detail as well as where to go and what to see.
I’d recommend a tour by Martin to anyone, either Berlin first timers like us, or even those who wanted to see more and get more history.Fantastic walk around Berlin

We were on a Baltic Sea cruise and booked Seth to show us around Berlin for the day. He was very flexible with our booking as we didn't have details of our times in the city until that morning when we docked. He met us at the train station and spent the next 6 hours showing us around, telling us interesting info about the city, taking us to an awesome Kebab place for lunch, and helping us find spots for hydration breaks in the 90 degree heat. I would highly recommend booking Seth if you want a great tour of Berlin!Amazing day in Berlin!

Our tour with Michele was fantastic. She was warm and friendly and took time to get to know us. She shared her love of the city and her personal story and connection to Berlin which made the whole experience much richer. She adapted the tour to our preferences and perfectly balanced what we wanted to see with what we should see. We especially enjoyed the little facts and stories that brought the tour to life. Michele has great energy and and a good sense of humor and was able to impart a lot of great information without it ever feeling that we were overloaded with information. We especially appreciated learning about her experience living in Berlin and what she loves about the city and seeing where she works. At every site we got the things we needed to know and some little tidbits of lesser known fun facts too. Overall we would recommend Michele to anyone and any group who wants explore and learn about Berlin. So many high notes

We had such a meaningful, interesting & fun time hanging out with Martin in Berlin! I was uncertain about paying for a guide as this was my first withlocals experience, but I am SO glad I did (a friend who travels a lot recommended withlocals). Martin is a fount of information about German culture and history. Nothing we asked him stumped him! He is passionate about the history of his city and country. He clearly spends a lot of his free time continuing to build and deepen his knowledge about Berlin and German history, particulary WWII. I was so engaged and found our conversation really compelling. The time few by. I would without reservation recommend a tour with Martin: you're not just getting someone to point out the sites to you; you are getting quality time and a rich, free-flowing conversation with a German citizen who knows and cares so much about his country. Our time with Martin was a true highlight of trip to Berlin.Martin: The best!
