The Jewish Heritage of Berlin - A Private Tour with Jacob
Description
Jews were spread worldwide after being exiled from their land. Many settled in central Europe, staying steadfast in keeping their old faith and customs amid constant persecutions. Germany, including Berlin, excluded the Jews from daily life, but they insisted to integrate and eventually received full rights as citizens. From isolated ghettos and communities, they climbed to an influential social positions in the economy, science, culture and the new emerging democratic politics of Germany until the Nazis took power. The tour will tell the story of the Jewish community in Berlin and Germany and the Nazi attempt to eradicate them from Europe. This tour has special meaning for me as I descended from European Jews and I find interest in the history of the Jews in Europe and Berlin. I would love to share this knowledge and take you trough this fascinating historical experience.

This was a great tour- Jacob did an amazing job customizing the tour to cover areas of Berlin that we hadn’t seen yet. He took us to spots that we never would have uncovered ourselves while sharing great insights of the Jewish history of the city. Highly recommend!!
thanks Amy , you were all great, attentive and curious , hope you had a good trip in the city (:
Jakob was an excellent tour guide, he has extensive knowledge of Jewish history and especially the holocaust. We learned so much from him.
Thanks you so much for the review!
I've taken Nadav's tours on a couple of occasions and find them excellent. Extremely informative and also passionately delivered, these tours from Nadav give great insight into Jewish life and history in Berlin. I would heartily recommend them for businesses or for private groups and I will definitely be using Nadav's services again. They can also be tailor-made, so please ask him in advance if there's something specific that you need.
Nadev is an excellent guide and a very nice and kind person. We enjoy the tour and highly recommend him. Three hours of tour passed like five minutes, the explanations were fascinating
I took Nadav for a tour, and learned so much about Jewish life in Berlin, I understood the holocaust from different perspective, and enriched myself much about the Jewish life before the Nazis!
We walked a great deal and got to some interesting places. But would have liked to have a stop at the museum at the holocaust memorial and at the synagogue.
Many thanks to Nadav, for providing a comprehensive walking tour of the many Jewish sites in Berlin. He communicated his deep knowledge of the subject in an understandable way. The pace was just right and I'm glad I did a walking tour instead of a driving tour. All the sites were easily accessible on foot.
<p>Nadav was quite good and respectful of the physical limitations of a member of our group. He was informative and friendly.</p>
