      Such a wonderful person!

      "Oh Miha, dear Miha... thank you for showing us your wonderful neighbourhood, Friedrichshain. Not only did we enjoy the people, surroundings and atmosphere there, but most of all, we have enjoyed your company. You were so kind, had patience and we loved your open mind. Having you as our guide was something we will not forget. Thank you, with love from our hearts, from The Netherlands, Hans, Helena & Ro."

      We enjoyed it!

      "Elisabetta was our guide in Kreuzberg, on a night to remember in August. She really knows a lot about the all the art in this neighbourhood. We have enjoyed her personality, she is friendly and took the time to explore and elaborate. Glad we didn't miss out on Elisabetta during our days in Berlin! "

      On the Road with Chris!

      "Chris walked us all over the city making us feel like locals ourselves! He pointed out interesting tidbits of information, good places to get food and drink, and the stories of the city (historical & cultural). Took us to some really wonderful spots that I don’t think we would’ve seen on our own, which is exactly why we chose his off the beaten track tour. We found him really knowledgeable not only in the history of Berlin and Germany, but also in the more colorful history of the art/music world here! We walked for three hours and never stopped talking. It was great getting to know Chris and I highly recommend his casual, but very detailed oriented style. We felt like we were walking around with an old friend! And we finished understanding the city in a way you can’t get through Guide, Books, and the usual historical tours! "

      Review about Christelle-Ahia

      "What a great day with Christelle-Ahia! It truly was an 'off the beaten path' experience. She taught us so much about the various areas of the city as well as the lifestyle specific to each area. We saw so much art that we would have never known about or known where to look for. The tour never felt rushed -- we moved about areas of the city in a very relaxed manner and we had a lot of fun. Of course as is often the case, the most artistic areas of a city often get gentrified over time, and Christelle was able to show us the different stages of that happening in each area. Of course the least gentrified were the most fun! We even got to dance in one of Berlin's very tiny discos! And she showed us several things worth returning to on another day. Such a terrific tour!"

      So Amazing

      "Miha was great. The tour was a tough topic (Jewish history in Berlin) and he was very cautious on how to broach the subject with our 8 year old. I can’t say enough good things about Miha. He knows Berlin well. He was able to relate personal information that corresponded with the topics he covered. We learned a ton. The time absolutely flew by, and each moment was filled with information and of course kindness. "

      "Miha is so kind and knowledgeable, we had a wonderful time touring Berlin while my husband was working. I felt instantly comfortable with him and he was super communicative before the tour. He planned everything so I just had to show up! He also gave me the step by step instructions how to use the public transit (which was super helpful for me, lol). I felt like I was with a friend that just knew everything!"

      Second time booking with Betty

      "Betty was so good we booked her a second time . Her bright, eclectic , playful, interesting and thoughtful approach was perfect for my artistic and historic interests and my daughter’s sense of fun and adventure. Betty was generous, very knowledgeable and a lot of fun. Her recommendations for future eating and exploring helped us enjoy every minute in Berlin , even when we weren’t with Betty "
