Reviews from guests about our tours and locals
"Boyd was an absolutely fantastic guide, blending deep knowledge of the city and his history with an engaging style. My two adult daughters and I enjoyed every minute of our four hour tour. We covered a lot of ground, but never felt rushed. Boyd clearly knows his stuff and he has a vivacious personality that makes the minutes fly by. "
"We did a WW2 tour with Miha, with a group including our kids (9, 13), and in-laws (70's), and everyone had a great time. We got an amazing introduction and overview to all of Berlin, but the best was the personal stories and getting to know Miha. He was obviously a very passionate guide, well-informed, and very personable. The pace was perfect for us, and the time flew by. We would absolutely recommend this, or any tour with Miha."
"I had a great time with Seth. He is very knowledgeable and flexible. He tailored my tour based on my interests and didn’t dwell on sights that I had already extensively toured such as the Reichstag. In addition to a comprehensive tour, Seth had very interesting insights and perspectives on several of the major events that occurred in Berlin while the Third Reich’s was in control. I would recommend Seth to anyone interested in a tour of the Third Reich and Hitler’s Legacy."

Feel the pulse of German democracy in the Berlin Government Quarter. This is where history is made! A private tour of the Berlin Government Quarter with a local reveals stories the monuments can't tell.
The Reichstag is the heart of the Berlin Government Quarter. After severe damage in WWII, it stood as a ruin for decades. Its stunning glass dome, added in the 1990s, symbolizes political transparency.
The 'Band des Bundes' or 'Federal Ribbon' is a striking architectural concept in the Berlin Government Quarter. It's a series of buildings connecting East and West over the Spree, symbolizing German unity.
Angela Merkel, one of the world's most powerful women, led Germany from the Chancellery in the Berlin Government Quarter. Locals affectionately nicknamed the modern building the 'washing machine'.
While touring the Berlin Government Quarter, do as the locals do and grab a Currywurst! This iconic Berlin street food is a favorite, quick, and delicious snack for everyone, from tourists to politicians.
The Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe is a short walk from the Government Quarter. Its 2,711 concrete slabs create a powerful, disorienting space for reflection on a somber part of German history.

"We spent two hours with Miha as he took us on a walking tour of Berlin and into The Reichstag. Unlike other tour guides we’ve had in the past, Miha stayed with us, listening along to the audio tour and adding additional information and context to what was on the recording. He was also generous with answers about his family’s experiences with events in Europe over the last 80 years that really brought the history out of names and dates into the impact it had on people and their descendants. A friendly, knowledgeable guy, I’d highly recommend Miha. "
"Lee was very helpful & knowledgable during our tour in Berlin. My son & I are very interested in history, & Lee provided us with considerable background about Berlin’s history during WWII & the Cold War. It was a very enjoyable tour for us. "
"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."
"We really enjoyed our experience with him. He incorporated more general facts about Berlin like I asked and he spent almost 4 hours with us. He's super knowledgable and I learned so much about where I live in Mitte, would love to go other places in Berlin with him too. "
"We had a great time exploring historical sites of Berlin and social aspects of post war civilization. Exploring the hidden gems of Berlin was a highlight!"
"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!! "
"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."
The Spree River is central to the Berlin Government Quarter's design. A boat tour offers a unique perspective of the Chancellery and Reichstag, revealing how water is woven into the city's political fabric.
