Loved every minute. Thomas educated us beyond anything we would have read about. Articulate, incredibly personable, and just fun to listen to. Would recommend him every time!

Tomas, our guide brought the stories that surrounded us to life. He took us through the unforgiving history of Berlin with intelligence and sensitivity. Tomas is a gifted storyteller that also took care of us as we experienced Berlin for the first time. I highly recommend seeing Berlin through his eyes.

Thomas was the most captivating, enthusiastic and knowledgeable tour guide we’ve ever had in Europe. He customized our tour to focus on the German history that my son was interested in—rather than generic book information. He really brought German history to life. It’s the first tour that my son was disappointed when it ended!

I had another company set up two private tours in Berlin. They chose A Friend in Berlin and my guide was Josh. I'm a bit remiss in posting a review. I had the tours in mid-September and then got carried away by the rest of my trip. But I enjoyed the tours so much I wanted to make sure that I gave them a five-star rating. Josh was knowledgeable, interesting and interested in my questions and what I wanted to see. The first tour was a Highlights of Berlin scheduled for the day after my arrival. I really felt that I got an excellent baseline of the city, its history and its culture. The second tour piggybacked on the first with a bit more emphasis on WWII. I would highly recommend A Friend in Berlin.

Thomas brought me and my children all across Berlin, west to east, by foot, bus and train, always stopping along the way to explain and elaborate on the vastly different periods of German history and the impact they've left on the surrounding environment. A really thoughtful, nourishing tour.
