Amazing - highly recommend - We were fortunate to get connected with Michelle and she was amazing. It’s worth every penny to do the private tour as you really go at your own pace, delve deeper into interesting topics etc. Michelle was energetic, engaging and wicked intelligent about everything historically. She engaged in deep discussions in the meaning of the events and the people of Berlin. Highly recommend.

Historic Berlin WWII - Violeta was our tour guide for this 4 hour tour. Her knowledge of the history was excellent and we came away well informed. Violeta is very personable and answered all of our questions perfectly. I would recommend this tour and Violeta without hesitation.

A great experience - Boyd was a great a host. He took us to places that interested me and my family. He is very knowledgeable, a pleasant person to be around, and an overall great guy. Boyd interacted very well with my son and kept him engaged. He will take you on a historic tour of Berlin that will leave you fascinated with the city.

Boid is the best! - An off the beaten track look at socioeconomic history, architecture and much more which was delivered with the gravitas of a man who has made Berwin his home for decades. Highly highly recommended. Boid is somewhat of a cultural and historical polymorph. Clearly very well read and highly engaging. My boy (13 yrs old) learned a lot.

Worth it - Miha took us all around Berlin showing us some amazing sights and telling us interesting stories about Berlin's history. He was funny, charming and informative. At the end of the tour he even pointed us to his favorite restaurant.

Amazing Berlin Trip - I would recommend Seth 1000% if there was such a thing! I was visiting Berlin on a short trip with my son who will be doing his GCSE exams next summer, one of which is in history. We needed to visit many Berlin sights relating to WW2, the holocaust and the Cold War and get as knowledgeable as possible!! I hired Seth as our guide and I am so glad that I did. Seth knows his history, made the experience incredibly interesting, gave us information that we couldn't have acquired had we visited the sights and museums on our own, made it so much easier to navigate Berlin as we had some distances to travel, was kind, punctual and since he is a native English speaker (which I hadn't expected) communication was easy. It was an unforgettable trip to Berlin and although what we were there to learn about is intense and often times dark it was incredibly interesting. Had Seth not been part of our Berlin experience we would not have learnt as much as we did or been able to see as much as we did. I highly recommend Seth!

Betty and berlin - Betty was soo much fun to be around snd she brought a very candid and exciting perspective of the city while covering the notable WWII events and beyond that took place. It was a very cold day, but time went extremely fast with her and left feeling a true understanding of the events that took place in Berlin

This tour with Seth was outstanding. - Seth took us (family of four, with two teenage sons) on the WOII tour through Berlin. He was knowledgable, fun and flexible. He answered all of our questions (and with our sons, that’s a lot of questions!) and threw in plenty of his own facts, tales and stories. We learned a lot of new stuff and refreshed our existing historical knowledge. The tour enriched and entertained us, despite the gloomy subject matter. We couldn’t have asked for more. Seth was simply a wonderful guide!

WW2 history and even more - Boyd has done an amazing job in showing us around the city and telling us a lot of stories. He doesn’t only touch the main history but also talks about the architecture of buildings and the cold war. We learned a lot of stuff we otherwise would have missed. Boyd has a nice way of explaining with examples and a great voice to listen too. He checks regularly if we got it and we could ask questions whenever we wanted. Thanks for this great experience!
