Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

We booked Matt online for a walking tour of the Third Reich and Cold War sights of Berlin. We were not disappointed. Matt is friendly, extremely knowledgable, super attentive to his clients’ needs and flexible. We spent a fascinating 3 hours with him and packed in a lot. There ywas no question to which he didn’t have the answer. I would highly recommend Matt if you want to get under the surface of Berlin with a guide who has a deep understanding of the history of this fascinating city.

We had the privilege of spending three incredible days exploring Germany with Matt from Berlin Experiences, and it's safe to say that this journey will stay with me forever!
Matt's depth of knowledge in German history was truly impressive. His ability to narrate the stories behind each destination, whether it was Potsdam's palaces, Moritzburg's fairytale castle, Dresden's cultural gems, Meissen's porcelain legacy, or the poignant history of Sachsenhausen Concentration Camp, added a profound layer to our experience.
What stood out was Matt's thorough preparation. He had a tablet loaded with pictures and maps, making every historical account come alive. It allowed us to visualize the past and appreciate the present context, enhancing our understanding of each place.
Beyond his professionalism, Matt's warm and friendly demeanor made the journey even more enjoyable. He's not just a tour guide; he's a great guy who quickly became a friend. His passion for sharing the stories of Germany's past and present is contagious.
If you're considering a journey through Germany, Matt and Berlin Experiences are the ideal companions. You'll not only gain a deeper appreciation for this remarkable country but also have the privilege of making a wonderful friend along the way. This was an unforgettable adventure, thanks to Matt's expertise and camaraderie.

Matt did such a fantastic job. His unique perspective as a Brit who has lived in Berlin for 19 years gave us insights into history and present day Berlin.
The best tour guide I have ever seen in all my travels.

Matt carries himself personably and with expertise. I know a good tour guide when I see one, and Matt Robinson is one. I cannot recommend his Potsdam tour enough! Do yourself a favor and book with his company.

We very much enjoyed our tour. Our tour guide, Alexander, was interesting and informative and brought just the right jaundiced-eyed sensibility to the proceedings.
Our (teenage) children remained engaged throughout (no small feat) and learned important historical background without feeling like they were following along with a Fodor's guide. Alexander had real insights into the history of the Third Reich and Berlin's unique role in the Cold War that went well beyond familiarity with various landmarks.
Berlin can be enjoyed like any other major city even by visiting landmarks and museums, but unlike Paris or London, it can only be properly understood through its place in history. If you want to gain a glimpse of that history, we'd recommend Berlin Experiences.

Our tour was lead by Matt. He is English speaking, having grown up in England and then relocated to Germany. This man is a wealth of knowledge that far exceeds what you would expect on a standard tour. Matt was never at a loss for information when our group of 10 threw questions at him. It is hard to quantify how much he knows, but we were unable to stump him on anything we asked about.
The tour was on a private bus and the microphone and speakers worked flawlessly. I put that in as it is a real pet peeve of mine when the speaker is practically inaudible on these sorts of tours. We got off the bus at several points and Matt had the driver meet us where we would walk to. This was great in preventing back tracking over the same areas already covered and made great use of our time.
Matt recommended a great place for a lunch stop that was authentic German fare and truly delicious.
Matt is passionate about the history, but not one of those who is forcing his opinions or views down your throat. He would give us his take on it and actually encourage we formed our own thoughts. Truly a class act. I highly recommend the Berlin Experience.

My tour was with Matt, who I think is actually the founder of the company - I was so impressed by the depth of knowledge he had about the political history of the country, and of Berlin itself... historical knowledge, but also recent history, bits of weird trivia, which museums to go to, day trips out of the city, where to eat, cool areas to visit, etc...literally a wealth of knowledge. I was lucky to get to chat to him a bit on the tour, it was such a brilliant orientation / insight into the city - and it's such a an amazing city - I would recommend it to anyone.

We booked a private tour with Berlin Experiences without any expectations and we were more than pleasantly surprised! The knowledge of our guide Matthew was beyond what your usual tour guide could offer. Not only was he able to provide extensive knowledge of the city and its different layers of history but his synthesis of different points of view gave us a different outlook of Berlin, which made us feel like we were let in on a secret a few people have a chance to know about or even experience.

Our gracious tour guide, Matt, a fluent English speaker, with an unparalleled knowledge of German history, took us on an amazing tour of the general sights and historical points of Berlin as well as Sachsenhausen concentration camp, with a stop for an authentic and delicious German lunch. The tours offered by Berlin Experiences are completely customisable and can cater to a plethora of interests – you need only ask.
Matt’s wealth of knowledge that far exceeded our expectations and by the end of the tour Matt was a sanctioned member of our group – it was truly a pleasure. I would highly recommend Berlin Experiences to anyone wishing to have an incredible tour of Berlin!

We arranged two family tours through berlin experiences: a craft beer tour and a Cold War tour. The booking process was seamless - Matt customized both tours around where we were staying and the specific sites we wanted to see. We booked pretty far in advance and he made sure to touch base with us just before our arrival and after our departure. Both of our tours were led by William, and he was amazing! He is fluent in both German and English which made our experience much more relaxing. He was knowledgeable on both the up and coming craft beer scene in Berlin and the Cold War. Following our Cold War tour, he left us with some fantastic recommendations on museums and sites we didn’t have time for. This made the remaining day and a half a lot easier. William and Matt went above and beyond! My family is very critical of tours, as we have been on so many, and without a doubt decided this was the best we had ever been on. I would recommend this company to anyone, as they are willing and able to customize their tours to your needs!
