What travelers think of our Berlin experiences

My family and I had a great experience with Andreas during our time in Berlin / Potsdam. My parents and I don't speak German, and wanted to still have an authentic & historical experience while visiting the area. Andreas went above and beyond our expectations. His knowledge is truly vast, his bilingual skills are excellent, and his friendly demeanor made for a wonderful day. We never felt uncomfortable, he took the day at our preferred pace, and always was respectful of our needs. If you find yourself looking for a day guide, look no further, you'll have a truly memorable experience!

Yes. He was very polite and helpful. We would never have found our way around the u Bahn and s Bahn without him. Potsdam is very interesting and he made it more so.

Seth did a great job of making this trip exactly what I wanted. He even pivoted when we had an incorrect meeting address. I have amazing memories and pictures from a foreign land and felt safe doing it with an experienced local.

Had a fantastic experience contracting City Unscripted for my day trip to Potsdam. Seth was superb. Good communication prior to the date. Flexible with the itinerary to ensure we see and do the things that I am interested in. Totally went with my pace, maintained great conversations with just the right blend of history culture and fun. Found us a killer lunch spot and gave some additional suggestions for things to do based on my personal likes. Couldn’t imagine a better way to spend a day. Wish I had a friend like Seth in every city that I travel to. Cheers!

Haydee was an excellent tour guide. I thoroughly enjoyed the tour and learned so much. Potsdam was an adorable town and the castles and gardens were extraordinary. I highly recommend the tour and Haydee as the guide. The one thing someone considering the tour should be aware of is the amount of walking required. We tracked our steps and walked about 5-6 miles during the tour.
