Extremely worthwhile Berlin experience. Seth is an outstanding guide who brought the history of Berlin during the wars into clear focus. The 4 hours went quickly as we explored Berlin’s many known and less known places of historical relevance. Seth throughout the tour explained the significance of places with thorough knowledge and welcomed all questions. So pleased we did this tour.

Seth was fantastic from our first contact, personalising a half day tour to include all the things we wanted to see, and making other suggestions we perhaps wouldn’t have thought of. His knowledge of the city and planning meant we were able to see everything we wanted to during the tour. Seth was personable, knowledgable, and respectful of our time at the landmarks/monuments we visited. His broad knowledge of Berlin history gave us insights into the city that we wouldn’t have gotten had we just visited these places ourselves. He was also more than willing to answer questions, give recommendations, and take photos. Thank you Seth for a wonderful tour.

We had a really entertaining walk with Betty. We had only 2.5 hours and she managed to show us a lot. She was funny, had great energy. Would have liked a few more details in some places (my daughter and I are history buffs!) but we got a lot of information which we would not have otherwise known. She was also very helpful about what else we should do and see in the city and responsive to all our questions. Definitely recommend.

We had a lovely time with Claudia. She adjusted the tour to our requirements (injured back, not too much walking) and made it very relaxed but still full of sights and interesting stories. As a local, teacher and traveller she has a lot of personal stories to share about the history of Berlin and the GDR. I really enjoyed her sense of humour and her easy-going way of connecting with us, as if we've been friends. I would recommend to anyone to book a tour with Claudia as I think she can create a great experience based on individual interests. Thank you Claudia!

Our family recently spent half a day with Boyd on a historical tour of Berlin and had the most wonderful and fantastic time. Boyd was simply a veritable fountain of knowledge on all things Berlin be it the city’s history, buildings, culture, things to do, etc. Boyd isn’t a guide that simply points out what building you are seeing on “your left”, rather he skillfully weaves a narrative throughout the tour that puts what you are seeing into a historical context which leaves visitors to Berlin with an understanding and appreciation of the complex history of Berlin and he ties it all to the Berlin we see and experience today. Being history geeks, we peppered Boyd with questions, and he expertly, carefully, and patiently answered every single one. Our group included a couple of teenagers and Boyd easily managed to keep their interest also. We would not hesitate to book another tour with Boyd and would highly recommend anyone visiting Berlin to do so.

We were fortunate to get connected with Michelle and she was amazing. It’s worth every penny to do the private tour as you really go at your own pace, delve deeper into interesting topics etc. Michelle was energetic, engaging and wicked intelligent about everything historically. She engaged in deep discussions in the meaning of the events and the people of Berlin. Highly recommend.

Violeta was our tour guide for this 4 hour tour. Her knowledge of the history was excellent and we came away well informed. Violeta is very personable and answered all of our questions perfectly. I would recommend this tour and Violeta without hesitation.

Boyd was a great a host. He took us to places that interested me and my family. He is very knowledgeable, a pleasant person to be around, and an overall great guy. Boyd interacted very well with my son and kept him engaged. He will take you on a historic tour of Berlin that will leave you fascinated with the city.

An off the beaten track look at socioeconomic history, architecture and much more which was delivered with the gravitas of a man who has made Berwin his home for decades. Highly highly recommended. Boid is somewhat of a cultural and historical polymorph. Clearly very well read and highly engaging. My boy (13 yrs old) learned a lot.
