Andrew John Dec 2024

Andreas was so knowledgeable and shared a lot of his personal experiences growing up in Berlin. He customized the tour to fit what our family wanted to learn about and see. Andreas was also so accommodating with our special needs son. We loved the tour and would do it again if we knew he would be our tour guide.

Natasha Dec 2024

Nick knew all of the history and places in Berlin as we walked through. He was very kind and answered all of our questions. He gave us a great experience through the Christmas markets and told us all the good places to eat and drink.

Troy Dec 2022

Cesar was an entertaining and informative tour guide who showed us a couple of the Christmas markets of Berlin and some other locations with Christmas lights. He spoke enthusiastically about the history of Berlin and personalised the tour to suit our needs as it was a private tour with just us as a couple. Mulled wine and entrance to the markets was included in the cost and we enjoyed the tour immensely despite the cold weather!

Troy Dec 2022

Was a private walking tour of one of the Christmas markets in Berlin with a view of other Christmas lights and markets around the city. Was very cold but fortunately Cesar our guide kept us entertained with many stories of Berlin and of his experiences in the city. Mulled wine and entry to the markets was included!
