Wonderful Tours! - I've taken Nadav's tours on a couple of occasions and find them excellent. Extremely informative and also passionately delivered, these tours from Nadav give great insight into Jewish life and history in Berlin. I would heartily recommend them for businesses or for private groups and I will definitely be using Nadav's services again. They can also be tailor-made, so please ask him in advance if there's something specific that you need.

Great insightful tour - I took Nadav for a tour, and learned so much about Jewish life in Berlin, I understood the holocaust from different perspective, and enriched myself much about the Jewish life before the Nazis!

Private 3.5-Hour Berlin Walking Tour: The Jewish Tour of Berlin - Many thanks to Nadav, for providing a comprehensive walking tour of the many Jewish sites in Berlin. He communicated his deep knowledge of the subject in an understandable way. The pace was just right and I'm glad I did a walking tour instead of a driving tour. All the sites were easily accessible on foot.

A lot of walking - We walked a great deal and got to some interesting places. But would have liked to have a stop at the museum at the holocaust memorial and at the synagogue.
