Reviews from guests about our tours and locals
"Boyd was an absolutely fantastic guide, blending deep knowledge of the city and his history with an engaging style. My two adult daughters and I enjoyed every minute of our four hour tour. We covered a lot of ground, but never felt rushed. Boyd clearly knows his stuff and he has a vivacious personality that makes the minutes fly by. "
"We did a WW2 tour with Miha, with a group including our kids (9, 13), and in-laws (70's), and everyone had a great time. We got an amazing introduction and overview to all of Berlin, but the best was the personal stories and getting to know Miha. He was obviously a very passionate guide, well-informed, and very personable. The pace was perfect for us, and the time flew by. We would absolutely recommend this, or any tour with Miha."
"I had a great time with Seth. He is very knowledgeable and flexible. He tailored my tour based on my interests and didn’t dwell on sights that I had already extensively toured such as the Reichstag. In addition to a comprehensive tour, Seth had very interesting insights and perspectives on several of the major events that occurred in Berlin while the Third Reich’s was in control. I would recommend Seth to anyone interested in a tour of the Third Reich and Hitler’s Legacy."

Walk through the pages of history on a private WWII Berlin tour. The city's streets hold profound stories of conflict, resilience, and rebirth. A personal WWII Berlin experience with a local storyteller is the best way to connect with its powerful past. Your journey awaits.
The Reichstag building, with its iconic dome, was central to the turmoil of WWII Berlin. The 1933 fire here was a pivotal event used by the Nazis to consolidate power. Its capture by Soviet forces in 1945 symbolized the ultimate fall of the Third Reich.
The site of Hitler's Führerbunker, where he spent his final days, is now an unassuming parking lot. A private WWII Berlin tour with a local guide can bring the chilling history of this location to life, explaining the dramatic events that unfolded beneath the surface.
Berlin's culture is deeply shaped by a duty to remember its past. Poignant sites like the Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe and the Topography of Terror museum are not just tourist spots; they are vital parts of the city's soul and a key part of any WWII Berlin tour.
Claus von Stauffenberg was a German army officer and a leading member of the resistance. His daring but failed attempt to assassinate Hitler in July 1944, known as the 20 July Plot, is commemorated at the Bendlerblock memorial center in Berlin.

"Lee was very helpful & knowledgable during our tour in Berlin. My son & I are very interested in history, & Lee provided us with considerable background about Berlin’s history during WWII & the Cold War. It was a very enjoyable tour for us. "
"Seth was both professional and knowledgeable. He tailored our tour to give the right amount of detail and was both factual and give fun learnings that we would not have otherwise known. The weather meant some rescheduling but Seth was adaptable in all aspects and we truly appreciated him. I would definitely recommend Seth if you are looking at any type of tour. He made the whole experience and we thank him for showing us Berlin."
"We really enjoyed our experience with him. He incorporated more general facts about Berlin like I asked and he spent almost 4 hours with us. He's super knowledgable and I learned so much about where I live in Mitte, would love to go other places in Berlin with him too. "
"We had a great time exploring historical sites of Berlin and social aspects of post war civilization. Exploring the hidden gems of Berlin was a highlight!"
"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!! "
"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."
"Firstly, Boyd, unfortunately, was unable to make the tour but he contacted me a week before to explain the situation and that he had kindly rearranged the tour with Juan. Contacted Juan and he kindly arranged to pick us up at the agreed time, from our hotel. Juan was absolutely amazing, took his time explaining the amazing, complex and incredible history of Berlin from WW2 and how WW2 shaped the future of this city up until when the wall came down. The tour was 4 hours and we walked over 10km but take my word for it, it was truly amazing and the time flew by. What an amazing story and Juan told it perfectly. We came away from the tour amazed, enlightened and at times absolutely shocked at some of the wartime stories. If you ever go to Berlin, put this tour at the top of your list and if Juan is available, make sure you choose him. Martin & Nicola "
Born from the rubble and resourcefulness of post-WWII Berlin, the Currywurst is a legendary local snack. A Berliner, Herta Heuwer, supposedly invented it in 1949 using ketchup and curry powder obtained from British soldiers. A must-try taste of local history!
