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 3 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 is the best walking tour I have been on! The wealth of knowledge, the combination of entertainment and serious history, as well as the depth of our guide Mary’s thinking is crazy impressive. I not only learned about the town of Berlin, but also Germany/WW1&2/Jewish experience in Germany, Poland and beyond/inspirational and hopeful thoughts about humanity’s future. Mary is patient, knowledgeable, and passionate about what she is doing. This is a must do for visitors and even locals of Berlin.
Mary’s way of introducing the Historical stories of the city is very interesting. She brings her ideology to the stories which adds a perspective that for me was not familiar at all. It helped me think of the history from a different way and for that I’m grateful.
Mary was an amazing guide, giving in depth history of the city and context of the buildings. She posed thoughtful questions and was very engaging. The walk was nicely broken up with indoor and outdoor time. Highly recommend this tour!
