Our guide Seth was wonderful. He was so knowledgeable about all things Berlin weaving stories of WWII and the Cold War throughout the four and a half hours of our tour. Thank you Seth for a memorable day

Miha took us all around Berlin showing us some amazing sights and telling us interesting stories about Berlin's history. He was funny, charming and informative. At the end of the tour he even pointed us to his favorite restaurant.

I would recommend Seth 1000% if there was such a thing! I was visiting Berlin on a short trip with my son who will be doing his GCSE exams next summer, one of which is in history. We needed to visit many Berlin sights relating to WW2, the holocaust and the Cold War and get as knowledgeable as possible!! I hired Seth as our guide and I am so glad that I did. Seth knows his history, made the experience incredibly interesting, gave us information that we couldn't have acquired had we visited the sights and museums on our own, made it so much easier to navigate Berlin as we had some distances to travel, was kind, punctual and since he is a native English speaker (which I hadn't expected) communication was easy. It was an unforgettable trip to Berlin and although what we were there to learn about is intense and often times dark it was incredibly interesting. Had Seth not been part of our Berlin experience we would not have learnt as much as we did or been able to see as much as we did. I highly recommend Seth!

Betty was soo much fun to be around snd she brought a very candid and exciting perspective of the city while covering the notable WWII events and beyond that took place. It was a very cold day, but time went extremely fast with her and left feeling a true understanding of the events that took place in Berlin

Seth took us (family of four, with two teenage sons) on the WOII tour through Berlin. He was knowledgable, fun and flexible. He answered all of our questions (and with our sons, that’s a lot of questions!) and threw in plenty of his own facts, tales and stories. We learned a lot of new stuff and refreshed our existing historical knowledge. The tour enriched and entertained us, despite the gloomy subject matter. We couldn’t have asked for more. Seth was simply a wonderful guide!
