Thoughtful and insightful look at Berlin
Nadav was a wonderful guide. He gave us a good overall history of Berlin, from its establishment to today, with information about the geopolitics and economic forces that shaped it.
Most of our tours was spent looking at and talking about significant sites from 1914, and the beginning of the First World War, until 1989 and the fall of the Berlin Wall. I especially enjoyed Nadav's perspective on the rise of National Socialism -- while Hitler was central, it's important to explore why a nation of seventy million, that produced Goethe and Luther, a country of philosophers and artists and scientists, became a nation that committed mass murder.
We went by, but didn't have time to visit, the new Topography of Terror museum, which looks at the perpetrators of the Holocaust, rather than its victims. Who were they? How were they raised? What did they do before they took their jobs organizing and performing the Holocaust? I look forward to visiting that museum, too.
It was an informative and interesting day that genuinely made me think.

amazing guide, amazing tour
Nadav showed us the best of Berlin in 5 hours, armed with full of knoledge and pacience for our kids. It covered all basics in the places and history of the city, accomodated to our family's needs. Our kids 11, 15, 16 hear him out during all the 5 hours tour, which means he was fun and interesting, and it says a lot about him 😁. Very reccommended

Nadav is very knowledgeable, was able to bring personal history, and give us local insight on all of the places we visited. We were able to break bread with him a few times and enjoyed his presence when we went to Wittenburg. Would definitely recommend him for any tours of Berlin.
