Spring Break 2025 with Family
Germany

Mar 16 - Mar 27, 2025
Our trip to Berlin was perfectly organized from start to finish. Upon arrival, we received a message from Sergey, who picked us up right in front of the airport in his newer Mercedes van. It was a great feeling to know someone was waiting to take us to our destination.
The next morning, we had a walking tour with Miha, who bonded well with my two teenage boys (13 and 16 years old). He knew exactly how to keep their attention as he explained the history behind each of the sites we visited. One of the highlights was our visit to Brandenburg Gate. It was incredible to stand in such a historically significant place, where so much action took place. We also explored the city by walking and taking the underground tram.
We had also booked a tour of the Sachsenhausen Memorial, and Sergey was there again the next morning to take us. The tour guide, Daniel, was incredibly passionate about the history of the Memorial and shared a wealth of knowledge. His dedication to explaining the significance of the site made the experience even more memorable.
Activity Reviews
Miha showed us around and was really excited about the city. You could tell that this wasn't just a job for him, he was passionate about the city. He was able to bond with us and not make it seem like a lecture. He moved at our pace and took us to a great bistro for a break.
Go through the subway station to get to the actual tunnels. It's amazing things like this exist within everyday life. The guide was full of energy and knowledge and we went from one room to another. Seeing how life was and actual pictures and furniture from that era really made this experience real.
Most of the structures are rebuilt and a lot of imagination is required to see where everything stood. This place was completely destroyed and rebuilt for historic purposes. There is a lot to take in and it gives you chills when you hear about what humans are capable of.
Pawel did an amazing job showing us around the city with the perfect amount of details for everything we visited. He didn't make it sound like a lecture and casually showed us everything and explained it all. We got in over 15000 steps during the tour, but it went by fast because he was really good at what he was doing. Seeing the Strahov Library was magical!
Mojca is very passionate about Vienna. A lot to see and take in all over. Amazing architecture and history all around.
Trip with Pawel, he drove us there in his Mercedes van. He showed us around Terezin and explained all the exhibits within the museum. Very educated and excited to share his wealth of knowledge.
Amazing! Great guided tour inside the hospital. Full of history and well kept. The dummies that are there really shows how life could have been within those tunnels.
