Ioana N. is a fantastic tour guide. She has extensively studied the subject matter, has lived in Berlin for 17 years, and her tour was completely immersive and engrossing. She handled sensitive subject matter with empathy. She individualized our tour based on our questions and interests. Highly recommended.

Heather, our tour guide, was the best person to take this tour with. Her passion of the topic really shines through into the tour, and I learned so much from it. She is very happy and open to discuss things with you, and is willing to answer any questions you have. Would highly recommend to those who are looking for an overview of all Jewish history in Berlin, as well as specific monuments, plaques, and museums. Fabulous tour.

Isabel Daniel was an amazing guide. She answered every question we asked and was the nicest young lady you could possibly have as a tour guide. By the end of the tour we were inviting her to visit us in Los Angeles. She is completing her Ph.D in the topic we were exploring on this tour. We came away with a much better understanding of the history of Jewish life in Berlin from its beginnings in the 12th century. We highly recommend this tour. This small group turned out to be just myself and my husband.
