Testimonials
“Yoav has a talent for presenting history and places in a very human and personal context which made his tour so meaningful and interesting. He has a broad knowledge of the city and was deliberate in finding out exactly what we were interested in seeing and doing for the day and so tailored the tour to suit us.”
- Suzanne and Denis Calvert, Sydney, Australia
“I wanted to thank you again for your wonderful guided tour to Potsdam and Wannsee. We enjoyed the sites, of course, but your knowledge and insight made them relevant and fascinating.”
- Desiree Blankfeld, Houston, Texas
“We were intrigued by all the extra information Yoav brought to our tour, including copies of original documentation which he had unearthed. It was a fascinating day in which we felt immersed in our subject and completed the day all the more knowledgeable. Yoav was a mine of information about Berlin prior to our trip and I highly recommend him for guiding through this city of great contrasts.”
- Judy Carman, Melbourne, Australia
“Yoav is an informed, educated, personable and thoroughly delightful guide. He had insight and appreciation of our preferences and our personal history, and provided us with a wonderful introduction to Jewish life, past and present, in Berlin and Germany.”
- Shelli Rosenzweig, Atlanta, Georgia
“I found reviews of Yoav on the web and decided to give him a go. What a great decision!! Yoav is EXTREMELY knowledgeable, gave info beyond what I’ll find by my own and made the day very interesting and I learnt lots. He gave me many great tips on restaurants, advices on places to explore by myself on my second day. He provided me with so much history but in a very fun and exciting way.”
- Rachel Legman, Boston, Massachusetts
“Yoav tailored the trip to our interests and made sure we get to see all that we wanted, and offered valuable tips for independent travel as well. Yoav is young, enthusiastic, punctual and we highly recommend him.”
- Arnon Kohavi, San Francisco, California
“Whether this is the first time you are visiting Berlin or have been there before, we highly recommend that you hire Yoav as a guide. Yoav is very accommodating and personalized our tour according to our interests, always ensuring that we visited the places we wanted to.”
- Marian and Ron Levy, Montreal, Canada
“Even though I am a professional historian, there was so much that I did not know and so many gaps that only Natalie [Noa] could fill in for me. I have only superlatives with which to praise Natalie's [Noa's] abilities and talent as a guide.”
- Prof. Eli Lederhendler, Department of Jewish History and Contemporary Jewry, The Hebrew University of Jerusalem
“We took the Jewish Berlin tour with Natalie [Noa]. She is very knowledgeable and accommodated to our pace. Our tour took about 4 hours of walking around the Jewish Quarter and sights of Berlin, and even though we made it with a child, she made it very interesting and easy to follow. I would definitely recommend Natalie [Noa] for tours around Berlin.”
- Sandra Kofman, Miami, Florida
“We have just returned from a tour of the Jewish area of Berlin with Natalie [Noa]. We could not have done this on our own. Her knowledge and enthusiasm made the tour for us. We would never have found the places we visited. We only wished that we could have walked more and seen some more of Berlin with Natalie [Noa]. We would not hesitate to contact Natalie [Noa] again if we are in Berlin and would recommend her to anyone coming to Berlin.”
- Emma Pliner, London, UK
“We made a Berlin introductory tour and Jewish Berlin tour with Natalie [Noa]. This was my first visit to Berlin. Natalie [Noa] was a pleasure to spend time with - calm, sensitive and well informed. I recommend her a guide, and I would emphasise the importance of having a guide in Berlin. On the afternoon of day 1, we coincidentally were in the area of the tour on day 2. We would have missed almost everything of significance if we had not returned with Natalie [Noa] the next day. This is a city with so much complex history to understand. Unless you have weeks to inform yourself, a guide is invaluable. And Natalie [Noa] is an excellent choice.”
- Justin Tydeman, London, UK
“ 'This structure was built in 1922 to commemorate the blah blah blah' - This is NOT what you’ll hear with Natalie [Noa]. Yes, you’ll get the facts, but incorporated into interesting story after fascinating anecdote. She wastes no time, gives big picture and fine detail, and interweaves it all into a meaningful, easy-to-listen-to approach. Definitely the best tour guide we’ve ever had.”
- Jacob Bernstein, Boston, Massachusetts
“We bless our choice of Natalie [Noa]. Her knowledge of history and the city is far beyond the normal guide. She was always interesting and well attentive to us as to keep the momentum. Her calm and dedication to her profession made it all the more pleasant. Without such a guide, the Berlin center of history would be another meaningless nice postcard. We strongly recommend a private guide in Berlin and even better, Natalie [Noa].”
- Yossi and Hagar Cassuto, Tel Aviv, Israel
“Natalie's [Noa's] extensive knowledge of Jewish history and culture in Germany went well beyond our expectations. She was able to bring together the secular history with Jewish history superimposed with her own analysis clearly based on extensive knowledge of the subject area. We would highly recommend a Jewish tour of Berlin with Natalie [Noa].”
- Gail Kanef, NYC, New York
“We were guided by Natalie [Noa] and she was outstanding!! We are a well travelled family who had already spent a few days in Berlin and she was tasked with showing us Jewish Berlin. She took us back to places we had already seen and quite frankly showed us what we had literally walked over and missed. She answered all of our questions, shared little known historical facts, told great stories, kept us moving and was respectful of our need to stop when we needed to stop. She provided exactly the tour we were looking for. We would highly recommend her!!”
- Judy and David Rosen, Chicago, Illinois
What begins as a tour, leads many times to a friendship. And indeed, the personal relations are the most important factor, and this is what makes every tour special to us. We would be happy to meet you too in Berlin!
