Juan truly showed us the nuances of Berlin from so many points of view. He explained the city’s history, art, architecture, culture and cuisine. It was memorable. He moved at a pace that was in synch with our interests. Juan allowed us to set the style and pace of the tour and made it truly personal. Juan had the ability to sense when something drew our attention, and was able to adjust his time and pacing. He also sensed when something didn’t interest us so much and moved on. We got to experience the city through his eyes, the eyes of a Berliner. There was nothing gimmicky or insincere about his style. We highly recommend him and the 8-hour version of this tour.
