"Betty was a perfect companion for a day of touring around Potsdam. She was knowledgeable of local history and made sure to fill every minute with engaging conversation. I appreciated her flexibility when I wanted to explore two locations that caught my attention along the way, two short side quests. She even handled the train tickets, giving me a chance to observe how to use the rail system. We easily coordinated our meeting spot and itinerary via the app's chat feature. Betty's offer to recommend other notable places to visit after our tour was incredibly helpful. I thoroughly enjoyed my time with Betty and would choose her as my guide again."
"To cut it short, Miha was amazing! He made our tour happen even on a short notice and an unannounced transport strike in Berlin. He went above and beyond, even bringing us to the train station himself to make sure we get back to our hotel. Thanks Miha for making our short stay in Berlin memorable! Must book y'all! Mabuhay from your friends in the Philippines! 🫶🫶🫶"
"We had just a fabulous outing with Miha to Potsdam! Miha is so easy to be with and has great knowledge of Germany and the area. It was so relaxing to be driven to the city and the castles, and Miha told us right away that the day could be whatever we wanted it to be. We enjoyed lunch in the Dutch Quarter. He drove us back through Berlin in a route we had not seen and really enjoyed. Really one of the best days of our vacation because it was so relaxing! Thank you Miha!"
"Chris was a very friendly and entertaining guide. He was cleary passionate and had endless knowledge about the history of the camp and even more anecdotes. His way of explaining made history come alive.
We learned a lot and had a nice day! "
"Tiago was great!!!
He customized whole trip for us, made reservations for audio tours accordingly and also have us experienced amazing food too:):)
Whole trip went without hiccups and we really enjoyed whole trip to Potsdam!"
"Really enjoyed our tour with Tiago. He was lovely and very knowledgeable. We did however, feel that it ended rather abruptly and we weren't informed that we were walking back to the station. 40 plus minutes of travelling to and from Potsdam cut into the 4 hours allocated plus we finished with half an hour to spare. It would perhaps be better to meet at Potsdam thus allowing more time for the tour. It would also have been nice to have had the opportunity to stop for refreshments or even been told that the tour was close to finishing so that we could have perhaps decided to stay in Potsdam to have lunch or a drink."
"I have been to Berlin a few times before but now I had the time to explore the city a little more. I booked the Gems of Potsdam Tour with Miha and - due to a public transportation strike - we quickly decided to do a Gems of Berlin Mitte Tour :-)
Miha is very open and it has been so easy to start a conversation with him. You can tell from the first minute that he loves Berlin and loves what he is doing. He tailored the 'improvised' tour exactly to my taste. He is talkative and knows so much about history, (street) art and those little stories that only locals know. I really enjoyed the time exploring the city with him a lot.
I will definitely come back to Berlin to do the Potsdam tour with Miha!
Thank you Miha for your time, your stories and for the wonderful, multifaceted person you are!"
"We were extremely happy to have the opportunity to meet Miya and spend two days with him in and around Berlin and Potsdam. He tailored our tours exactly as we requested and made the best use of our limited time. He is a pleasure to be with so we highly recommend him as a private guide. "
"Pietro was wonderful! He made our tour well informed and truly memorable. We would definitely book again with him. Visiting the camp is really sobering and Pietro was such a Professional. Thank you!"
