Our guide was Nick. I reached out by email early in the morning to ask if he could meet us at our hotel instead of a previous destination. He responded quickly and accommodated our request. Nick was very engaging, asked us what we would like to see and gave us several options along the way. When Nick realized we were very interested in street art, he revised our location and we went with him by train to a nearby town. He was very knowledgeable about the history of the region and the artists. We went to a large German market for some refreshment and great conversation. Then Nick made sure we got back to our hotel even though we ran over about 30 minutes because of the train ride the end of the tour. We were sad to part ways because he was so engaging and became like a friend. Would definitely recommend this experience to others.

We have been going to Berlin many times. Ilaria took us to neukölln which is an area we did not know. Ilaria took us to an amazing Turkish market, the main thoroughfare in neukolln which feels so totally multicultural and international, to the Kindl museum, and then to the little village that was the original part of neukolln. In addition, Ilaria is a food blogger and she gave us some FANTASTIC restaurant and café recommendations for which we are very grateful.

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.
