Reviews from guests about our tours and locals
"We enjoyed a great 2 hour tour with Miha exploring the Berlin Wall. Miha was very knowledgeable, explaining some of the landmarks that we would have overlooked if we had been on our own. Miha navigated us seamlessly through Berlin’s transit system and gave us a deeper understanding of what it must have been like to be in Berlin both when the wall went up and living in present day Berlin. We had a really enjoyable afternoon with Miha - thank you!"
"Seth was engaging and knowledgeable - delivering the tour in an enjoyable and responsive way, patient and clear when answering our questions. Everyone in our group got what we wanted from it! Thank you, Seth!"
"We enjoyed our bike tour with Miha. He took us around to some key highlights and showed us a great time! "
"That tour was worth absolutely every penny! I can barely describe how good the experience was. Seth was an insanely knowledgeable guide, went at my pace but still saw a ton, showed me how to use public transit, ordered my food at a Turkish kebab place because it's overwhelming... I'm looking up this company or an equivalent in any new city I visit!"

Feel the powerful history of the Berlin Wall. Walk along its remnants and hear the incredible stories of a city divided and reunited. A private Berlin Wall tour is more than a history lesson; it's a moving experience.
On the night of November 9, 1989, a mistaken announcement led to the unexpected fall of the Berlin Wall. This single event marked the end of 28 years of division, reuniting a city and the world.
The longest remaining section of the Berlin Wall is the East Side Gallery, an open-air art gallery. It features over 100 murals celebrating peace and freedom, a powerful symbol of the city's reunification.
Imagine standing where President Reagan famously declared, 'Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall!' Your local guide can take you to the Brandenburg Gate, sharing the impact of these words on Berlin's history.
Checkpoint Charlie was the most famous crossing point between East and West Berlin during the Cold War. It was the site of tense standoffs and dramatic escapes, a true icon of the divided city.
The area between the two barriers of the Berlin Wall was called the 'death strip.' This heavily guarded zone with watchtowers and obstacles was a stark reminder of the risks people took for freedom.

"Very knowledgable and friendly guide. Went the extra mile to make if a good experience."
"Je vous recommande chaudement un tour avec Seth! Il a des connaissances très poussées de l’histoire et s’est adapté rapidement à notre niveau de connaissance et nos besoins! C’est un bon pédagogue. Il a adapté notre visite à nos intérêts. Il est calme et respectueux. Merci Seth!!"
"We had a very nice tour with Lee through Berlin, learning everything about East Berlin during the Cold War period. Lee was very knowledgeable about the topice, and also just a nice and smart person. We would recommend the tour to anyone who wants to learn more about East Berlin, and four hours might seem long, but it went by pretty fast for us!"
"We had a fantastic tour with Sara. Entertaining, knowledgable and friendly. A perfect guide for a family. Highly recommended. "
"We loved the tour and got to see many new spots in Berlin. Miha was very service minded, knowledgeable and easy going. It was a perfect afternoon. "
"Learning more about the Berlin Wall and seeing it from a very different perspective with Elsbietta made this tour very special and most interesting. We would definitely tour with her again. "
After exploring the Berlin Wall, grab a currywurst! This iconic Berlin street food became a symbol of the city's everyday life and resilience during the Cold War. It's a taste of local history.
