Reviews from guests about our tours and locals
"We had an excellent experience exploring Berlin with Boyd, a knowledgeable and engaging local guide who truly brings the city to life. From the very beginning, he made the tour feel personal, relaxed, and full of insight. Boyd has a real gift for storytelling — he blends Berlin’s complex history with everyday local details in a way that’s easy to follow and genuinely fascinating. What we appreciated most was how he tailored the experience to our interests, making sure we saw both the major landmarks and the hidden corners that only a true local would know. If you are looking for a guide we highly recommend Boyd. "
"Incredibile tour by an amazing host. So knowledgeable about the art and the City. "
"Seth was the best! I was able to see all the historical ares of interest and he knew so many more details than I could have imagined. I enjoyed walking and talking with him. Not only did he swing by typical Berlin areas of interest, but he also took me to areas along the way that I probably would not have seen in a large group or by myself. I can’t recommend him enough to anyone looking for a local guide. It also doesn’t hurt that he was an alum of the same university as me. Thank you Seth!! I enjoyed our day!"

"We had a great experience on our tour with Christelle-Ahia. She was very engaging, went at whatever pace we liked, and showed us galleries and spots we never would have found by ourselves!"
"Boyd had fascinating historical stories for every location we went to. Learning more about the details of a city as historically significant as Berlin was a joy. Also, Boyd was extremely accommodating with us. Unfortunately, our train to Berlin was heavily delayed due to weather events and we weren't able to make it to our initial time. He said that he had availability a few days later and allowed us to do the tour on a different day with no charge! If I had the ability to give Boyd 11 stars, I would."
"It was a good day"
"First time ever using this service and I have to say I'm going to do it again, especially if the experience is like with Lee. Lee took time to really go in depth with the area of Berlin, the history and the challenges of Berlin modernising. We also learned a lot about the area we were in, he recommended an amazing local artist shop, and he helped us learn about the complex history of the Berlin Wall. Finally, he introduced us to an excellent restaurant and we finished the walk with a coffee and chocolate at a local Berlin place. Berlin is an absolutely massive place, so maybe it's hard to say what we missed or would have wanted more of, but we look forward to do it again. Thank you Lee!"
"Ein unvergessliches Erlebnis mit Miha! Miha hat sich unglaublich viel Zeit genommen und beeindruckt mit seinem umfassenden Wissen. Man spürt sofort sein echtes Interesse und seine Leidenschaft, Geschichte lebendig zu machen und mit Begeisterung weiterzugeben – auf eine wunderbar leichte, sympathische und humorvolle Art. Unsere beiden Jungs (12 und 13) fanden die Tour spannend, und auch wir Erwachsenen waren trotz des schlechten Wetters völlig begeistert. Vielen Dank, Miha, für deine Zeit, dein Wissen und deine Art, Berlin für uns so lebendig und greifbar zu machen. Immer wieder gerne! 👏🏻 "
"Miha was a great guide! He was very knowledgeable and the pace of our tour was just right. Highly recommended!"
"The most comprehensive and enjoyable extended walking tour of Berlin that we could imagine. We covered pretty much everything on our ‘hit list’ and took Seth’s excellent advice on which locations would be worth us revisiting based on our interests. Seth’s knowledge around the history of Berlin through the ages, and of our the war periods is unsurpassed. We thoroughly recommend Seth to anyone researching walking tours of Berlin."
