Martin is a superb guide. My husband is a longtime student of history. He and I were overwhelmed by Martin's knowledge and explanation of what we were seeing. He is both a student and a teacher of Berlin's events, leaders, villains, and heroes.

A great way to see everything with ease for all ages and interests. Most pleasing and friendly guide and driver also!

Excellent day, very punctual and informative on the subjects visited. Learned lots about the landmarks

We had a complete private tour of Berlin with Jose on a cold and snowy day, and it was absolutely outstanding.
Despite the weather, Jose never rushed us at any point. We visited Sachsenhausen Concentration Camp and all the major Berlin landmarks, and at every stop he provided very detailed explanations, including historical context, exact names, locations, and dates. His knowledge of Berlin’s history is deep and precise, and he presents it in a clear, engaging way.
He made sure we were comfortable, answered all questions thoroughly, and adjusted the pace naturally without ever making us feel rushed.
This tour felt serious, respectful, and educational, especially at Sachsenhausen, while still being very human and approachable. If you want a guide who truly knows the history and takes the time to explain it properly, Jose is the right person.
We would 100% recommend Jose and this tour to anyone visiting Berlin.

Our 3-hour private, customized tour with Nick and the driver, Markus, was a great introduction to Berlin history during and post-WWII. We appreciated the context and images that were shared during the tour. Learning about Markus' personal story, the acrobat from east Berlin, was an incredible conclusion to the history tour. The icing on the cake/torte, was ending our tour at Rausch Schokoladenhaus (the chocolate house). We are so thankful for the educational and cultural experience.
Response from Host, Jan 2026
Dear Kathleen,
Thank you so much for your lovely review. We are absolutely happy that you enjoyed your private, tour.
All of our private tours are fully customizable, and we are truly happy we could tailor this one for you. Ending the tour at Rausch Schokoladenhaus was the perfect sweet finale—it’s a personal favorite of mine as well, so it genuinely makes me smile knowing you enjoyed it too.
Thank you again for choosing us. We hope to welcome you back to Berlin one day!
Warm regards,

Natalie and Markus were incredible! We have been in Berlin for a couple days and had seen quite a few things, but they were able to tailor the tour to cover things that we hadn’t seen yet and make a custom schedule for us. They added so much to the tour with additional pictures and lots of historical information. I can’t tell you how exceptional it was!
Response from Host, Dec 2025
Hello,
Thank you so much for your wonderful review!
Natalie truly is absolutely amazing—we can’t recommend her enough. And Markus is exceptional as well, with a deep knowledge of Berlin’s history that goes far beyond what you’ll find online. We’re so happy they were able to tailor the tour just for you and make your time in Berlin so special.
Thank you again for sharing your experience—we hope to welcome you back again soon!
Warm regards,

2 hour driving tour with guide Walid & driver Markus. Packed with historical knowledge at key sites in Berlin with photo opportunities, entertaining & fun. Highly recommend
Michael_G, Nov 2025
Our guide Natalie was a wealth of knowledge and as pleasant as we could have hoped for. From the introduction and brief overview in or hotel lobby to the final goodby at the end of our tour, we we kept informed and entertained. Our 11 year old son felt he learned more in the three hours than he had studying the same topic for a month at school. Everything about the tour, including the warm van on a chilly day, was exactly what our family was looking for.
Howell_B, Oct 2025
Nick, our tour guide was great. He was full of incite and history. He's an archeologist which came in hand when speaking about the bombing raids on Berlin.
steve_h, Oct 2025
Fantastic time spent with Jamie who was superb. Very high level of historic information and have a great over view of Berlin
Jason_M, Oct 2025
Awesome tour filled with great locations both new and historical. The overall pace was also good noting we only had 3 hours. Ioana provided a lot of knowledge on the area and history per spot. And our driver Marcos was also very cool and funny. Even our local German friends learned a lot and enjoyed the tour.
Cher_N, Sep 2025
Joana and Marcus were fun tour host and driver. We stopped and viewed many outstanding sites and jumped back into the car to the next spot to view. A very informative 3 hours which gave us a great overview of this fabulous city. Not a cheap way to see Berlin but when you only have 48 hours - it was a great way to pack it all in!
Michael_L, Sep 2025
My son said this was the best tour we had ever been on and I would have to agree. We could not have asked for a more informed, enthusiastic, friendly, and humorous guide than Walid and his colleague Marcus, our driver was also extremely knowledgeable and friendly. I recommend this tour without reservation.
Christine_W, Sep 2025
We absolutely LOVED this tour! From the private transport that picked us up at the hotel to the personalized itinerary of stops -it was exactly what we were looking for. The real superstar of the tour though was our guide Natalie! She was so full of knowledge regarding architecture, culture, and the history of Berlin/WW2. She was so animated and full of stories regarding everything we saw and why it was significant. It added so much to our understanding of the city and our 6 hour tour flew by. We are forever grateful for her truly introducing us to Germany in the best possible way! Highly recommend!
Lisa_P, Sep 2025
Nick was an expert on German history, WWI-WWII and Cold War. We covered the highlights in a delightful morning. He had a driver which allowed him to concentrate on the commentary. We were able to cover more ground with the driver at the ready. Highly recommend.
Jama_R, Aug 2025
Jochen our guide is incredibly knowledgeable about WW II and Cold War history. He is well organized with his information, brings the experiences to life. He is passionate about what history has to teach us today. Might be the best tour guide we have ever had (and we’ve had a lot).
rekha_d, Aug 2025
Reliable and prompt.We were looking to find our guide and Scott even came inside the Berlin station to meet us. Scott and driver Markus were flexible and covered the maximum spots during our tour. Professional and knowledgeable.
Callie_N, Aug 2025
This is the best tour I’ve ever taken.
Our guide, Jochan, and driver Marcus were absolutely extraordinary.
Extremely knowledgeable and very entertaining. We did the 6 hour option and it covered every major highlight we could have hoped for. We highly recommend. We all feel a deep connection to the history of this amazing city.
Rachel_L, Aug 2025
Natalie was a great guide. She provided so much history and interesting details. It was a good combination of walking and riding.
Barbara_P, Jul 2025
Contact before the tour was good regarding the time and meeting place in the train station. Tal was a very knowledgeable, friendly and personable guide. Our driver, Ayman, was always in the spot we needed throughout our tour. We saw so much in so little time because we had to get back to the train. However, we never felt rushed.
Ronney_R, Jul 2025
Walid, our guide was very friendly, and provided a great, comprehensive survey tour of Berlin sights and neighborhoods. Arnaud, our driver was gracious and accommodating. Both of these gentlemen were true professionals. We saw more during the intense, six-hour tour than we could have imagined seeing in 3 days on our own.
Anita_U, Jul 2025
Excellent tour. Tour guide was very knowledgeable and we saw all the major Berlin sights in this tour. Enjoyed the history and learning about Berlin
Alicia_O, Jul 2025
Great introduction to the history of Berlin. We were a multi generational family with seniors with some physical limitations, so using the van to see a lot of the sites was ideal. Joerg was so engaging and knowledgable. It was lovely all around!
Amy_C, Jul 2025
What a fabulous tour! Scott was amazing - the perfect guide to show us all the sights in a short period of time. He did a great job of walking us through the many different layers of history of this city. Well worth it!!
Asha_H, Jul 2025
Fabulous tour guide. Patient and very knowledgeable. We were able to customize our experience and have an enjoyable day. Many thanks to Walid!
Jennifer_R, Jun 2025
Fun, informative, a great way to cover a large amount of area and several spots in one day. No stress with a driver and an experienced guide. It was well worth it. Ranged in age from my parents in their mid 70’s to our kids 10-15. Thank you Kirsten! You were the best!!
Gail_W, May 2025
Tobi was a disappointment. We had to keep asking “what is that building” on our four-hour walking & driving tour. It seemed that he had his script and was sticking to it. Most of his talking was about Hitler, which is understandable, but we also wanted to know about other history of Berlin. He was not that knowledgeable about anything other than Hitler.
Response from Host, May 2025
Dear Gail,
Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback. We’re truly sorry to hear that your experience with Tobi didn’t meet your expectations. He is typically one of our most highly rated guides, so your comments were both surprising and disappointing to read.
Our Berlin tours do cover the Nazi era in depth, as it’s a significant part of the city’s complex history. However, we absolutely strive to present a well-rounded view that includes Berlin’s broader cultural, political, and architectural past. If that balance was missing on your tour, we regret that and will be reviewing this with Tobi directly.
I’ve also reached out to you privately in the hope of understanding more and resolving this to your satisfaction. We value all guest feedback — both positive and critical — and use it to continually improve.
Warm regards,
Natalia

Very nice and saw a lot. Tal was great and we learned a lot and she showed us incredible pictures of what things used to look like.
James_C, Apr 2025
Great custom tailored experience. Fantastic local guide and driver. Top notch service, not a single question left unanswered. I’m not a WWII scholar but consider myself knowledgeable and able to go deeper than the average tourist and Nick went above and beyond on everything. Gave me the background from the Prussian empire forward to WW1/2.
Flexible on where we wanted to spend more or less time. Fantastic tour. I’ve done many and this was my highlight.
Response from Host, Apr 2025
Dear James,
Thank you so much for your incredible review! We’re truly delighted to hear that your tour was a highlight—that means a great deal to us.
Nick is indeed a great talent. With your strong background in history, we’re sure you were a fantastic companion on this journey and brought a lot to the experience as well.
It’s always our goal to go above and beyond, and we’re so pleased to know the tour exceeded your expectations. We’d love to welcome you back anytime for another unforgettable experience.
Warm regards,
Natalia

Spectacular! Both our guide and driver were extremely knowledgeable and personable. We requested a tour that would show us the “real” Berlin rather than simply the sites offered by the tour books and they delivered!
Response from Host, Apr 2025
Dear Linda,
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re thrilled to hear that you enjoyed your tour of Berlin. We always strive to show the best of the city, and I must say, our team always "delivers" — we take our tours seriously, but we like to keep things fun too!
We truly appreciate your kind words and look forward to welcoming you on another tour soon!
Warm regards,
Natalia
