Reviews of The Bitesize Berlin Tour
“Excellent tour guide, among the best we’ve had. We would definitely book with him again when we return to Berlin.”
Noah KresslerThe Bitesize Berlin Tour · June 2025 · ToursByLocals
“Matt was a wonderful guide. He was extremely knowledgeable and took us to many locations we didn’t know about or expect to see, yet still was very receptive to our requests on places we wanted to visit. Since one of our group was elderly and walked with a cane, he allowed us to walk at a slower pace and also suggested using a car on our second day with him. He supplemented his tour with a very comprehensive album of photos which he showed us on his large screen mobile device. His driver, Markus, also added to the tour with his stories of escaping from East Berlin. We would highly recommend Matt as a great tour guide.”

“Matt is amazing. His depth of knowledge and interpersonal skills are unmatched. We had a great time ( my two teenage sons and myself) and learned so much! Highly recommend and thank you for an amazing morning!”

“We had the most amazing tour with Matthew today. He is extremely knowledgeable and there was not a historical question he could not answer. I would highly recommend booking this tour.”
Donna DoyleThe Bitesize Berlin Tour · June 2024 · ToursByLocals
“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.”

“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!”
