Hi,
I’m Mary and I hope you can have a fantastic time at one of my tours!
I grew up in Warsaw where my Jewish/Polish roots and family’s experience pointed me towards a keen interest in European history. In my work I combine my interest in social sciences with experience as a journalist fixer and grassroot organiser to deliver understandable explanation of even most complex processes and phenomena that shaped Germany and Europe as it is today.
I have lived in Berlin for 4 years now, which have been intense and extremely educational. I gained tour guiding experience working for the commercial market leader. Now I offer my independent tours - I’m particularly fond of those visitors who would like to reflect for a minute longer and go beyond the standard tourist glimpse-catching. Challenge your thinking, deepen your historical knowledge, feel the great vibes of the heart of Europe - just come along!
This tour was different to any other one I have done in the past. Mary’s point of difference is that she goes beyond standard explanations of landmarks and adds personal anecdotes, family history, and social commentary. The tour felt like more than just a tour but an educational lecture (in a good way) because I learned a lot more than expected. Highly recommended.
Mary's walking tour was absolutely fantastic! She has an incredible depth of knowledge about Berlin and delivered the tour in such a unique and engaging way. Instead of just scratching the surface, Mary delved deeper into the history, offering fascinating insights and stories that brought the city to life. She also explored why Berlin's standard sights are so significant, adding a whole new layer of meaning to them. If you're looking for a tour that goes beyond the usual, I can't recommend Mary highly enough!
Super informative and enthusiastic guide! Generous to share story. It is a thought-provoking tour. Highly recommend to those who wants more deep tour !
