I am passionate about the history of Berlin. It is such a fascinating city and I want to share it with you! I am a student here in Berlin studying history for my master's degree, and eventually a PhD.

Seth was both professional and knowledgeable. He tailored our tour to give the right amount of detail and was both factual and give fun learnings that we would not have otherwise known. The weather meant some rescheduling but Seth was adaptable in all aspects and we truly appreciated him. I would definitely recommend Seth if you are looking at any type of tour. He made the whole experience and we thank him for showing us Berlin.Great Experience

Seth was the perfect tour guide for our Sunday morning bike tour! He was very knowledgeable about East and West Berlin facts and was able to span many different time periods! He told us about interesting city and wall stories and details we would not have known. The bike ride was such a great way to experience Berlin like the locals do! Consider hiring Seth if you want a chill ride full of info! Knowledgable & chill tour of Berlin’s wall

As for me who has been already to Berlin Seth gave me new info background and stories. His knkowlegde as a future PhD historian gave enough food for interesting talks. My partner and me want to thank you for letting us feel Berlin. That was the expression which gave my partner to you. He was very impressed about the walk. Keep on the good work and toy toy to

My family and I did a food tour with Seth and it was definitely a highlight of our time in Berlin. We tried eating so many different things with his guidance, it was a a great experience overall.

Seth was a fabulous guide on our Off the Beaten Track walking tour around the fascinating area of Kreuzberg! Despite knowing Berlin reasonably well we learnt a great deal about the neighbourhood of Kreuzberg and Seth delivered his insights with great knowledge, enthusiasm and humour. Seth is truly a lovely guy to spend three memorable hours with. Following our walk we went back to a couple of places he had taken to us, locations that we might probably have never found ourselves. Thank you Seth for a great time and wishing you every success for your future study and endeavours!Great Kreuzberg Walking Tour with Seth!

Seth is your guy! He’s a transplanted Texan with a great perspective on Germany history and culture. He calls himself the nerdy historian and you can really nerd out on a variety of topics with him. A truly delightful human and great tour!12 out of 10 tour with Seth

Seth was a charming and knowledgable guide. He took us round Berlin at a leisurely pace but we saw so much of the city. He wore his scholarship lightly but talked with great sensitivity and insight about memory and trauma. We visited a beautiful library, the Catholic cathedral, the opera house and a stunning 1920s shopping gallery ( with incredible chocolate shop) as well as the important historic and political sights we had specified. At the Holocaust memorial he was especially careful and respectful. A great trip and a lovely guy! Enjoyable and informative

My two boys and I had the great fortune of spending the day with Seth. My kids enjoy history and have a keen interest in WWII and our experience with Seth blew their minds and opened them to new ideas and perspectives. It was a life changing experience that expanded our understanding of people and place, promoting deeper conversations. As a result, Seth has set us on a path of discovery, altering our travel plans so that we can explore more of the places we discussed during our tour. Top notch guide!

My 14 yo grandson and I loved our tour with Seth. He told so many pertinent stories to our discussions on what happened in Berlin in WWII and showed us many photos of the original buildings that we discussed that were no longer there. We definitely got what we paid for and more - Seth showed us the Jewish Quarter, many beautiful memorials, talked about the damage that occurred as the Soviet’s arrived, told stories about many events during the war, and captivated us for the entire morning. The tour was well paced (including a stop at Starbucks for some sustenance for my grandson) and the rain didn’t stop him or us for a minute - in fact we hardly noticed it was raining (not!). On a special note, I asked Seth about Jazz clubs as this is a special interest of ours and he went above and beyond, doing research and giving us a list before arrival. I’ll call Seth again the next time we are in Berlin!! So many stories
