Inspiring walk
Walking through the Jewish history with Miha was a great start of my stay in Berlin. While the stories were serious, there was enough space for reflection and a good laugh now & then. If you want to know more about the Jewish part of Berlin I can only say...get in touch with Miha!

Berlin from a local perspective
We enjoyed our time with Miha. He took us to all locations, as planned ahead, and also was patient when we needed to stop to feed hungry teenagers! He was lovely to talk with, and learn about his family history also. We are very glad we made the afternoon journey together.
