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.

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

We found the culinary tour very surprising. The food was diverse and more than plentiful, and it could be adjusted at any time to suit personal preferences. Dietary requirements were no problem at all. Seth is a pleasant man with a lot of knowledge about Berlin's history and shares fun and interesting facts. We really enjoyed it.Relaxte en orginele cullinaire ervaring

Seth facilitated a fantastic, four-hour tour for our family of three. He has a fun personality and struck a perfect balance of being passionately engaged while also seeming relaxed. His knowledge was impressive. He showed & taught us several fascinating items that I don't think we would have known without him. We highly recommend Seth.Seth - highly recommend

Spent a wonderful day with Seth visiting the house where the Wannsee Conference was held, then we went to see the KGB Prison at Leistikowstraße, and finally walked through Potsdam, visiting the Dutch Quarter, having lunch and hearing great stories about WW2 and the Cold War. Seth helped us plan our day and set our itinerary around what we suggested and then made his own recommendations so the logistics of our travels made sense. He is well versed and personable and an an overall great guy. My 15 year old son said our day with Seth was the highlight of our trip to Berlin. Reach out to Seth and schedule a day with him. You will have a great time! Great day with Seth in Berlin and Potsdam

We had a really amazing walk with Seth around the centre of Berlin. We were all interested in the history of the city and Seth knows so much. Both our teens liked the tour as well. Really well worth och an excellent guide. Amazing and interesting tour!
