“Matthew is a fantastic tour guide. After taking our group of 11 on his Best of Berlin tour the previous day, he led us on a tour of Sachsenhausen concentration camp. He presented the tour and difficult subject with just the right tone. It was a fascinating day, he could not have been more accommodating to all our needs, and we all give him our highest recommendation!”

“If you have the opportunity to book Matthew for a tour in Berlin you should definitely do it. Our group of 11 took his 6-hour Best of Berlin tour and could not have been more pleased. The van was roomy and comfortable, Matthew spoke very knowledgeably about the historical sites we visited, and we did in fact visit all the highlights of the beautiful city as promised.”

“We are a family of 4 with 2 teenagers who are very interested in History. I chose Matthew because of his high ratings and long-time experience in Berlin. We really weren’t disappointed – we enjoyed 2 tours on consecutive days with Matthew and Marcus his driver (who was very interesting also). The 1st shorter tour was largely about Berlin before WWII – v interesting. Matt’s knowledge & his very well stocked iPad were perfect – there was always a photo to accompany the commentary.”

“We had the privilege of spending three incredible days exploring Germany with Matt from Berlin Experiences, and it’s safe to say that this journey will stay with me forever! Matt’s depth of knowledge in German history was truly impressive. His ability to narrate the stories behind each destination, whether it was Potsdam’s palaces, Moritzburg’s fairytale castle, Dresden’s cultural gems, Meissen’s porcelain legacy, or the poignant history of Sachsenhausen Concentration Camp, added a profound layer to our experience.”

“My wife and I spent two wonderful days touring Berlin with Matthew and his very capable and interesting driver, Marcus. Matthew is extremely knowledgeable about the history and historical sites of Berlin, but he’s also a world of knowledge on the history and politics of Germany and Europe. We were able to cover a lot of territory in Marcus’s comfortable van, and Marcus shared with us his tale of defecting from East Berlin in the late 80’s. We highly recommend Matthew!”

“Berlin is a fascinating city and Matthew made it even more so for us. He had some great stories for us, and we loved meeting his driver and hearing his story too. Thanks for the fun tour!”

“Matt is a phenomenal tour guide. He was so insightful about the history of Berlin and was so kind. He answered all of my children’s questions and explained everything very thoroughly and well. Markus was also incredible. He was an amazing storyteller and his personal story was very moving. I highly recommend Matt and Markus – it was the best tour my family has ever been on!”

“Matthew was so great! We were tired that afternoon and he kept us entertained and engaged on our walking tour of Berlin. Would highly recommend. His knowledge of Berlin and the history of German culture is outstanding. So grateful!”

“We had an excellent day with Matthew. Great communication beforehand and throughout the day. We were able to accomplish so much during the tour. It would have taken us many more days to see what we did – but then to have the significance of those sights explained while seeing them greatly enhances the whole experience. Matthew is prompt, engaging and was good enough to answer our many questions about the sights as well as life in Berlin/Germany. Highly recommended!”

“Matt and his driver Markus were exceptional! Matt knows so much history as well as Berlin inside and out. His knowledge is presented in a way that makes you emotionally feel the history and understand it much better than by watching it on live TV or reading it in a book. Markus is magical in finding parking spaces & his own story is amazing. Book Matt without hesitation! Thank you Matt & Markus for a fantastic tour!! ES & friends”

“As an English speaker who knows German, Matthew’s ability to communicate in his native tongue made this tour wonderfully accessible and interesting for our American group. He was able to relate with clarity what makes Berlin of today an exciting and cosmopolitan place that should not be missed. At the same time, he explained why Berlin horrified millions of people for more than 50 years, and why it should not be missed. The visit to Sachsenhausen, also, was powerful. Kudos also for Thomas, his driver!”

“Matthew was an excellent guide for our family of four. He was very affable and caring, and extremely knowledgable. We couldn’t have engaged a better guide to show us Berlin’s sights and history. His previous career as a journalist shows through during the tour as he gave in depth illustrations and narrations of Berlin’s role in WWII and the unification of Germany. His partnership with Markus as the driver added an extra special touch to the day. Will highly recommend Matthew as a guide for Berlin!”

“Matt was a very professional but at the same time personal guide. He was interested in sharing his knowledge and he did it in an interesting way. Thank you again Matt!”

“We had a group of 9 on the tour. Matt was sure to keep us all included with any facts given & answered all our questions. We all felt he was the best guide we could have hoped for on our tour. 100% recommend Matt as a guide!!”

“We were extremely impressed with Matt’s level of knowledge on the city of Berlin. There wasn’t one question we had that he was not able to answer. We enjoyed everything we saw and appreciated the look into the dark history of Berlin. Would highly recommend Matt to anyone!”

“We absolutely loved doing this tour and would recommend it to anyone who wants to experience Potsdam. Our guide Matthew was brilliant – super friendly, helpful, considerate and extremely knowledgeable. He used a great mix of history, local knowledge and personal stories to keep us entertained and engaged throughout. He also offered recommendations of other things to do/ see and places to eat during our stay. Thank you again Matthew we wouldn’t have wanted anybody else to show us around!”

“We would highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants to experience the Sachsenhausen concentration camp. Our guide Matthew was brilliant – super friendly, helpful, considerate and extremely knowledgeable. He had a special way that he presented this dark and heavy material that kept us engaged throughout the tour. We were able to learn and process everything in our own way and in our own time. Thank you again Matthew we wouldn’t have wanted anybody else to show us around!”

“Matt was amazing! I traveled with my husband and three children, and his tour was a highlight of our trip. Prior to the shore excursion, he communicated well and delivered as promised. He’s incredibly knowledgeable and organized the excursion to meet all of my family’s needs, which included a great lunch at a nice casual German restaurant. Thanks Matt!”

“Matthew was a very informed, professional, and yet personable and energetic guide for our day in Berlin! He is a truly amazing guide, with a breadth of understanding of Berlin, its past, relevancy for the present, and potential to impact the future. He also explained both macro and micro moments in history with amazing clarity. We would very highly recommend him for small group or even family travel. If there were 6 stars, that’s how we would rank him and Markus his driver.”

“Matthew was prompt, friendly and extremely knowledgeable about Berlin and historical facts contributing to why it is the city it is today. We were a group of nine friends and he started the tour at the hotel where most of us were staying. Very accommodating! I would highly recommend Matthew, especially if you are first-timers to Berlin as we were.”

“Matthew was a great guide, very thorough on historical knowledge. We let him suggest a restaurant for lunch, and he made a great choice. His driver Markus was also great at getting us up close to the venues before we walked. Markus had his own fascinating story to tell about his escape from East Berlin. Matthew made sure we had plenty of time at each stop. We are only in Berlin 3 days, so his City Tour was awesome for hitting many high points. We definitely recommend Matthew and Markus !!”

“Thank you so much Matt for a great day in Berlin. We so appreciated being picked up at the cruise port by Thomas. He was so professional and kind, he took such great care to get us there and back safely. Matt, your guidance around Berlin and the knowledge and historical facts you shared with us were excellent. The private tour for our group couldn’t have been better. We learned so much and you helped us to connect with the history & challenged how we viewed different aspects of it. You were Terrific!”

“What a wonderfully informative and enjoyable day! Matthew was a brilliant guide, providing all the historic background to this intriguing city. Best of all was his story telling – the human side of Berlin, with a combination of tragic and positive stories, brought it all alive. We also enjoyed the little hidden coffee and local food gems! And the combination of driving, then walking for periods, was perfect. Well worth a price premium for this level of personalised tour. Thanks, Matthew!”

“Matthew is outstanding and perfect guide to see Berlin. Anyone can drive by or show you places; Matthew, takes the time to tell you the historical stories about the famous place showing pictures from his iPad. Memories were created along with our knowledge and understanding of German history and their people. Matthew set up a schedule for our 4 hour tour which created the best use of our time. Finally, he worked with us around the challenges with our cruise line and meeting him. Highly recommend Matthew!”
