Experience Art & Culture Tours in Berlin with Withlocals

"Juan was friendly, knowledgeable, and took his time to answer all my questions. I wish I had done the tour at the beginning of my trip and not on the last day. I learned so much about Berlin from him, I wish I'd had more days to explore based on his recommendations. I highly recommend the tour and Juan!"

"One if the nicest guides I have ever had. The time we spen with him was the best. He was kind and informative. Kept the pace for my 81 year old mother. Don't know how he did it, but we even got a full rainbow at sunset. "

"It was incredibly inspiring to cross Berlin with Martin, following the trail of persons resisting the national-socialist ideology and instead chose to do the right thing in the 1933-1945 period! Martin has extensive knowledge about this part of German history and shared this with stories, a nice list for further reading and recommendations for films and documentaries. In summary: highly recommended if you want to learn a about this less known part of Berlin history!"

"Martin is an excellent guide - he personalised a day tour of Berlin for my wife and I, combining elements from a number of different tours. In particular we were interested in the German resistance. From the way he talks about this topic, you get a sense of his great passion for the heroes and heroines of the resistance, and his deep knowledge and expertise on the subject. He also showed us around neighbourhoods that were less frequently visited by tourists, and had many anecdotes and interesting facts about the different neighbourhoods. At the end of the tour when we had to part ways, my wife said it felt like we’d just been hanging out with an old friend for the day, and I don’t think you can give a better compliment than that, to be honest. Highly recommended!"

"Our family did the German Resistance tour with Martin.  Martin was passionate & ethusiastic to share his knowledge of the subject with us, which made the tour amazing. We appreciated the background context and historical information to help our understanding. We learned so much and, more importantly, discovered the hidden voices of a movement which have not necessarily been front & center in history books. Thank you, Martin, for your thoughtful & informative way of imparting this knowledge and for our wonderful tour. It was everything we wanted & we thoroughly enjoyed it :) "

"I can’t recommend Martin enough. He is friendly, knowledgeable, and funny. The two-and-a-half-hour tour just flew by. He really knows his stuff and you can tell he’s a fan not just a tour guide. We really enjoyed spending time in his company, the conversation never stopped throughout the whole time. Even as a pretty big Bowie fan I learnt a lot from the tour, and he really helped to bring Bowie’s time in Berlin to life. If you are looking at a Bowie tour, then this is the one you need to go on. I was really looking forward to this and Martin didn’t disappoint. Just as an aside, we had only just landed in Berlin a couple of hours before the tour, Martin was even able to recommend a couple of restaurants near to our hotel. Can’t argue with that. Thank you, Martin! This tour was a key reason for us coming to Berlin and you really delivered."

" Our family of three, including a 13 year old boy interested in all WWII history, thoroughly enjoyed our two separate private tours with Martin. We had a Berlin city tour focusing on history, as well as the Resistance Tour on another day. We finished our tours feeling as if no stone was left unturned. Martin was friendly and every-so knowledgable. Even off the wall things we asked, that really had nothing to do with our specific tour, were answered. We think he must know every building in every sector of Berlin! When asked, Martin was willing to share his opinions and his own family history throughout Germany, which added so much to our understanding. The night prior to meeting us, he brushed up on some specifics about the resistance just as a refresher for himself. He did his homework, literally! We left Berlin inspired to learn more, order a book, and watch a certain movie to supplement our experience and increase our knowledge and awareness of such recent history. We highly recommend Martin as a guide who will tailor any of his tours to your wishes, doing more or less, as you wish. The price is extremely reasonable for a private personalized tour. Wear comfortable shoes! "

"Excellent walk and talk on the development of German architecture in Berlin. It’s not an art tour but a talk about each of the buildings and the overall model of Berlin in the Markisches Museum is fascinating. Boys is knowledge and warm hearted. We thoroughly enjoyed our time."

"My mother, brother and I had a tour with Boyd on the museum island! The tour was two hours and despite the cold November weather we had such a nice time talking and learning with Boyd! I highly recommend taking a tour with him, would definitely do it again!! 10/10!! "

"Martin is a fabulous and friendly guide, very passionate about his subject. We toured the city visiting sites linked to the German resistance, which I knew little about previously. I have come away wanting to understand more about this ‘forgotten’ history. I would thoroughly recommend this tour and wish I’d had more time to do another of Martin’s tours. Thank you! "
