Seeing an understanding Berlin in a morning - Visiting Berlin with Michele was a tour de force in seeing the important sights in the present day city center and understanding the events and forces that shaped it over the centuries. In one amazing morning Michèle walked us around the key cultural, educational and political sites and enabled us to navigate the city. She was flexible with accommodating our interests. She even gave us some excellent recommendations for restaurants. I highly recommend her tour to first time visitors and returning visitors who want to get an in-depth understanding of the city.

A great afternoon of with Betty - Betty took us on a tour of Berlin and almost immediately it felt like old friends being taken around to see the history and highlights of this fascinating place. Betty provided great background and pointed out things we wouldn’t have known about (such as the checkpoint station). We talked about lots of things from the war/Cold War history to how Berliners see themselves now. She was great company and very accommodating when we decided we had to look at everything in the museum at the Berlin Wall. It was a great day and if we get back to Berlin we’ll definitely be booking Betty on another tour

Energetic - Betty was a great companion for our tour— she was both knowledgeable but also gave real world context for a lot of the history we were learning about. In many ways, her own life experience informed a lot of our tour — in a good way. The four hours flew by and we covered a lot of ground. I highly recommend Betty.

A day with Seth - Seth was punctual, kind, engaging and showed us many corners of Berlin that we never would have seen on our own. He answered all of our questions and told us plenty of stories about the places we were seeing as well as the historic perspective on the city. A great day! Thank you!

Fab Tour with Sara - Sara, is such a lovely guide. Gave us lots of background information about Berlin and Germany. We had seen some of the main attractions so she gave us additional information on them. She changed the tour and got to see lots of off the beaten track areas and interesting information. Our teenage kids throughly enjoyed the tour. Would recommend Sara to people to get an understanding of Berlin and German history.

Wonderful tour and guide - I lived in Berlin for one year in the early 90's. I've been coming back on a regular basis for 12 years now, to meet my friends and breath Berlin's air and vibes. I booked a tour with Sara for me and my 3 quite grown up daughters, who love Berlin and are interested in history and like to learn new stuff. Sara is a wonderful guide. She explained us in a very easy going way and very pedagogically how Berlin turned into the important and very special city she now is. She told us many vivid things about WWII, the raise of Nazism, how Germany became Germany. She took us to places random tourists never go to. Sara is a professional but in no way a "boring teacher". She brought up a critical view on the German history. Furthermore she's a very nice person. And she suggested us a wonderful restaurant she particularly likes for our lunch. We absolutely recommend Sara as guide and thank her very much.

Totally recommend this tour! - 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.
