    “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.”

    “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.”

    “We did a walking tour of Berlin with Jonny when we visited for the weekend recently. It was incredibly easy to book and Jonny helped us make the most of our short time in the city by not only showing us the must-see sights, but also some of the hidden and less well-known parts that we would never had known about were it not for Jonny's fantastic knowledge of Berlin.

    He has a fantastic style; extremely informative, but also very funny and engaging, which made the tour great fun. Were we not only staying for the weekend, we would have booked again. Would thoroughly recommend.”
