"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

Very Knowledgeable
"Miha provided great insight into the plight of the Jews prior to and during WWII in Berlin. He shared stories to provide context at each location. We also appreciated the information he shared about current day Berlin and the restaurant recommendation."
"We had the best morning with Martin learning about the art and culture of Berlin. Martin is a wealth of information and has so many great stories. We went to some fascinating and eclectic off the beaten path sites. It really helped us to understand the unique and quirky side of the city. Highly recommend this one!!"
"Such a great tour with Betty. She’s full of positive energy and great fun personality. It’s was good time strolling around knowing the history of Berlin, visiting hidden gems, local spots and even beyond by recommending more places to check out. She’s very knowledgeable about the city history and art. Got to see nice stores for shopping as well. I really loved the graphite area. recommended tour with Betty. "

Fun art and sights tour
"Miha was lovely. So informative too. Gave us a refresh of school history too as we were a little confused 😵💫 at times with Germanys and Berlin’s history. We loved it. Saw some awesome artwork on the walk too. Would recommend Miha as your tour guy. Really enjoyed our 3 hours with him. Thank you from your Aussie guests. "
"The best experience by far .. seeing the art and the neighborhoods that would not typically have seen were the best part of trip . From the history to the markets , completely amazing day . Uygur was an amazing guide through the history of Berlin to the local neighborhoods …his knowledge and excitement of the area made the whole day …"
"Really enjoyed hearing about the local artists and the art scene during our walk around Kruezberg. Miha was great adding touches from his and his friends experiences. Definitely recommended."
