    “I recently booked a private tour with Jonny in Berlin and what a great time we had! Jonny was able to explain complex events in history with ease and in an interesting way. We really enjoyed learning all there was to Berlin's history and Jonny was great at creating a fun, entertaining and insightful tour for us. Highly recommended.”

    “Jonny's tours are packed full of insight, and they are an absolute must if you are visiting Berlin. He is a warm and engaging guide, who will take you to the city's must-see sights, share fascinating stories about its history, and share his favourite spots in Berlin too. I'd recommend to anyone who wants to get to know this city.”

    “We would highly recommend Whitlam's Berlin Tours. We haven't visited Berlin in a long time so wanted to reacquaint ourselves with this wonderful city.

    We were greeted by Jonny at our hotel and instantly warmed to him. He has a wealth of knowledge and isn't afraid to inject humour when appropriate.

    He also shared some great recommendations of places to go after our tour.

    We have already recommended Whitlam's Tours to ours friends and will definitely be looking Jonny up when we return to Berlin.”
