Walking tour of Berlin with Mathis

Excellent tour guide. Very informative and knowledgeable for such a young g guide and allowed time for questions. Highly recommend.

Great tour! Highly recommended!

Thank you, Luke, for a very interesting and informative tour! I had a wonderful walking tour of Berlin with Luke. He is a very passionate and engaging storyteller. He shared many interesting details, stories and historical background that I had never heard before, even on my first visit to Berlin (this is my second time in Berlin). He has a great way of bringing history to life and making the tour interesting without simply giving you a list of dates and facts. I especially appreciated his enthusiasm and the way he connected the places we were seeing with the stories behind them. I would definitely recommend his tour to anyone who wants to understand more about Berlin's history and not just see the main sights.

Best tour guide EVER!

Patrick, our Irish guide, weaves a tale like non-other! His knowledge of dates and history is masterful. He kept us engaged and entertained the entire 3.5 hours. We saw and learned so much, I wanted to take the tour again. A definite MUST DO.

Reuben is excellent guide

Reuben was a fantastic guide. his knowledge of Berlin’s history is extensive, and he does a great job weaving in personal experience alongside the historical facts, which made the stories feel much more real and memorable. I came away really well-informed and genuinely loved learning the history through his eyes. The one thing I’d suggest improving is pacing: we spent a bit too much time at some individual stops, which meant we covered fewer locations overall. A bit more movement between sites would let people experience more of Berlin in the same timeframe. Overall a great tour, and I’d recommend Reuben to anyone wanting real historical depth in Berlin.
