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!
Mary was incredible, honest, and transparent. This was easily one of the best tours I've ever been on (and I've been on hundreds of GuruWalk tours across the globe). It's clear Mary is passionate about the topic and her dedication to a complete tour is evident as a guest. I highly recommend this tour for anyone who is interested in history and deeper subject matter.
Mary was such a great guide! I honestly thought the tour might feel too long or get tiring, but she made it super engaging from start to finish. She knows all the best spots to paus,often choosing places with benches or steps so people can sit and rest which makes a big difference. There's also a 15-minute break in the middle, which really helps break things up and recharge a bit. She brings pictures to help tell the story, and the way she connects history to today is so refreshing it really makes you think. She’s not afraid to speak her mind and doesn’t sugarcoat things, but she does it in a thoughtful, respectful way. She’s also open to different points of view and creates space for real discussion during the tour. Mary answers questions really well too,she clearly knows her stuff and takes the time to make sure everyone feels heard. The tour covers some heavy topics, but Mary keeps the vibe thoughtful without making it too dark. She sets expectations clearly at the start, and everything flows really smoothly. I’ve done quite a few walking tours across Europe, and this one is definitely up there as one of the best.
If you want more than just sightseeing and want to learn and reflect on the world we live in today, please be sure to join this tour! Simply mindblowing. Mary is such an excellent guide, with lots of knowledge and passionate about what she does.
