"We loved every minute of our tour and Michèle put together a brilliant tour! Exploring Berlin with bicycle has so many advantages too.
So if you’re in Berlin go ahead and book!
We are Germans and it was a pleasure to listen to her passionate talks about our capital city!
We will be back!"

Betty’s tour a great start for Berlin
"Betty was friendly, her English was great, and she opened her eyes to so many things that we would never have thought of seeing, and gave us insights that we would not otherwise have had. She picked up on our interests and emphasized these as well, and referenced things that we might enjoy later. Throughout our trip, we recalled her recommendations. We would recommend her 100%, and especially good way to start your first visit to Berlin—Jeff, Rebekah, and Jonas

"Seth is your guy! He’s a transplanted Texan with a great perspective on Germany history and culture. He calls himself the nerdy historian and you can really nerd out on a variety of topics with him. A truly delightful human and great tour!"
"Michèle was the perfect tour guide!
She was friendly, informative, flexible and extremely knowledgeable.
She clearly loves Berlin and that comes across with her contagious enthusiasm.
Booking with Michèle is simply a must; she's among the best tour guides we've ever worked with!"
"We had truly enjoyed our day with Boyd.
Myself and 12 year old son.
He approached our curiosity on history with sense of artistic touch and step by step we where introduced history about of Europe, Germany and Berlin - zooming in with details but always with big picture in contrast.
As well very much we appreciated discussing various views and perspectives on modern topics while cycling around parts of Berlin.
For all who love to be with professional historian and gifted story teller with warm heart and at the same understanding for modern European evolvement in politics.
Strongly recommend Boyd. "
"Michele was an amazing guide for us. We walked most of the tour to see the highlights of the city. Great background knowledge about the history but also relevant details about the Berlin of today. Great that she ended the trip by sharing an overview of the highlights to do oer neighborhood! We enjoyed our time together very much. Tip: schedule a tour by bike with Michele to cover more ground. "
"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!! "
"My husband and I had the absolute pleasure of taking a private tour of Berlin with Michèle last weekend, and it was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment we met our guide, we knew we were in great hands. Her deep knowledge of Berlin’s history, culture, and hidden gems brought the city to life in a way we never could have imagined on our own.
Michèle was so warm, professional, and incredibly engaging— we completely forgot about the less than ideal weather. She answered every question with enthusiasm and tailoring the experience to our interests with thoughtful recommendations along the way.
We explored iconic landmarks, lesser-known neighborhoods, and even an amazing tucked-away doughnut shop we'd never have discovered otherwise. Our tour was, without a doubt, one of the highlights of our trip. Highly, highly recommended!"
"If you’re looking for the perfect way to experience Berlin’s beauty and history, look no further than a private bike tour with Miha. I had the pleasure of doing just that, and it was easily one of the highlights of my trip to Germany.
From the moment I met Miha, I knew I was in great hands. Energetic, knowledgeable, and full of charm, he guided me effortlessly through the heart of Berlin — from iconic landmarks to hidden gems I would never have found on our own. It was the ideal balance of storytelling and sightseeing: Miha brought the past to life with gripping anecdotes and a great knowledge of history, all while making sure I was enjoying the ride (literally!).
Loved it!!!!!!"
"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."
