This is what our tour guest has said about their 2-day Berlin tour experience with Olga, Your Jewish Heritage Guide:

“My friend and I explored Jewish and general Berlin sites with Olga over 2 days and were delighted with her tour. We learned a tremendous amount of history over 14 hours and discussed  modern day consequences of that history too. I would recommend spreading the tour out over 3-4 days and  also visit some museums with Olga. She has a wealth of knowledge that she is eager to share”. Deborah Pantoni, California, USA.
