Really enjoyed my tour today! Boyd was a great guide. My visit has been all work this far so it was great to explore and learn more about Berlin. History, architecture, context, and great recommendations for later in the day or my next visit. Highly recommended!
Boyd was absolutely a delight! He started the tour with a wonderful overview of history and as we moved along he stopped and highlighted both history, architecture and culture. What a special afternoon we spent and we can’t wait to go back for a longer even more comprehensive tour
We were in Berlin for less than 24 hours for a flight back to the US and booked a bike tour with Seth. He did an incredible job guiding us through the city to see many of the highlights in a short period of time. He shared the history of Berlin and many of the fascinating and impactful events that have occurred there in a way that was accessible and contextual way. We had a great time and will reach out again when we have a longer visit to the area. Thanks Seth!
Michèle was fantastic! Her knowledge, passion and ability to articulate the history of Berlin was nothing short of amazing! Highly recommend a bike tour with her!
Boyd was our guide and he was excellent! He was extremely knowledgeable and personable. He gave us a true inside tour and history of Berlin. We liked that his tour was not the regular tourist sites, but other historical sites such as the Tempelhof Airport.
Don't think twice, hire Miha as your guide! You won't find a nicer and more knowledgeable guide in all Berlin! He is truly a walking Berlin-encyclopedia but he is also such a friendly guy. We had a blast.
We had a fabulous biking tour with Boyd. Being on bikes was great. We were able to cover a lot of ground and see so much of the city that we would not have been able to on a walking tour. Boyd is very knowledgable and curates the tour to your liking. I highly recommend him for anyone considering at tour of the city.
Boyd was the ultimate host! Took us to a diverse mix of neighborhoods and provided a more local perspective of Berlin. Lovely afternoon - highly recommend!
Our guide Miha was the star of the show and the weekend. We (4 of us) walked to the meeting point at Alexandaplatz where we met Miha. He organized the hire bikes from the selection available, and these proved to be more than adequate. We arranged a 4 hour tour of Berlin and this took in all the important sites to see. Miha spoke excellent English and provided an informative narrative, covering the important detail and to the point. We meandered through the old part of the city ever mindful of when the Walls location crossed our paths. Unfortunately Miha had to improvise due to many roads shut off for the Berlin Half Marathon the next day, but having the knowledge to get around this was a distinct advantage because I don't know what we would have done without him. This days tour was so good we booked Miha for East Berlin trip the next day for the same price. East Berlin trip was even more of an eye opener, and the beer on the boat cafe was really pleasant. We headed out along Karl Marx Strasser and swung south to see the longest portion of the Berlin wall still standing together with all the artwork on it, fantastic foto ops here. After this we dropped to the banks of the Spree and out to the marina where we had beer and coffee with Miha constantly narrating the architecture and general culture. On the return leg we stopped off at the Soviet Cemetery where 7500 souls lay at rest, quite sad but an eery reminder of what is happening now. The tours were great. We could not have done this on our own in 2 days and Miha was worth every penny.
We did a private bike tour with Michèle. She was super responsive as we were planning and let us customize our tour to what we wanted to visit, including getting a taste of the local Berlin scene and recommendations. She was super fun and knowledgeable. Highly recommend booking with her!
