We had a fantastic tour of Berlin and Sachsenhausen with Nadav today. His main job is as a teacher at a Jewish school, and his family was profoundly affected by the holocaust (less than a 15% survival rate, based on his extensive research). Therefore, he was obviously able to speak to the events and places from a place of heavy personal connection. Beyond his connection to the subject matter and deep knowledge, his style was compelling and charismatic, easily one of the best tour guides we have ever had on any tour anywhere in the world. We hope to take another tour with Nadav soon!

Ariel was extremely knowledgable and took us places we never would see on a Jewish tour of Berlin. Highly recommend
Nadav is really knowledgeable, he knows from the inside the details and history of Berlin and the long Jewish history. Nadav is generous with his knowledge and time. Nadav also gave us Witten advice on where to go after our hald day finished, also an itinerary for the next day.
Oren was outstanding. He was knowledgeable and entertaining. We were looking for an old grave on the cemetery, and he helped us find it. Definitely recommend the tour.
The Kinder transport memorial was special. The entire tour was excellent. We liked our guide, Ariel, very much. He is very knowledgeable, and answered any question we asked.. Personally, I was shocked to learn that the New Synagogue is magnificent to view from the exterior, but that beyond the beautiful facade is nothing more than offices, a yard and a small chapel on the 3rd floor. How sad. We enjoyed our tour and highly recommend it to anyone who wants to learn about the history of the Jews from Berlin.
Ariel was very knowledgeable,. He supported his talk wit illustrations. He did not hurry and explained in detail what my wife and I encountered on the tour. I would recommend him to other travelers.
Our guide was Sharon, we were 6 participants. The guidance was excellent, the tour was fascinating and professionally interesting, we visited many sites of the Jewish community and the trip flowed great and we had a great time
Nadav Genius guide, walking encyclopedia, perfect message delivery ability, intriguing tutorial, Highly recommended
My wife did three tours - day after day - with NadavTours. I joined her on the third day for a tour of Jewish Berlin. The tour was excellent - the guide (Fafi) was very enthusiastic, very knowledgable and happy to discuss every aspect of Berlin's history and contemporary life (and contemporary world affairs, because every story in Berlin has so many implications and ethical questions). She took us all across the city - to memorials, Jewish institutions and museums, and pointed out many relevant sites that we otherwise would have missed. Highly recommended to take a guided tour in Berlin, and highly recommended to do it through this company and its guides.
The tour was very interesting. Ariel our guide was very good. Very patient with very much knowledge. His explanation made this important tour more meaningful.
My wife and daughter took 2 trips: Berlin center with Lior and Jewish Berlin with Fafi (Dafna). Both trip were excellent: Fafi and Lior know the material and provided a well balanced tour that covered education, insights, fun facts, sad stories and perspective. The Berlin tour gave an excellent overview of the city highlights and history and it is a great way to start the vacation as you get a lot of pointers to places you will want to go later. The Jewish tour, in my opinion, gave depth and information on the Jewish history before and during the Holocaust that we wouldn't have gotten from books/Internet. The 5 hours sounds intimidating but time flew fast and they include a 45 min break for lunch in the middle so you can rest.
This is my 3rd time using Gablinger’s tours in Berlin. Each years apart. Nadav is not only knowledgeable about history but he also makes it a total learning experience by telling the personal stories of people who suffered. If you want to see both the usual sites and the less well known sites of Berlin this is your guide. If you want more than dry history and facts this is a great opportunity to experience the best Berlin has to offer. Holocaust history, communist history, medieval history- Gablinger’s does it all.
A lot of information is important in smiling and professionalism. He knows Berlin best. Adds a lot of personal taste and takes into account the abilities of hearing it.
A friendly, professional and knowledgeable person. We went on a trip from work. It would be a great weather. We'd love to have Beck hire his services again.
We returned from Berlin after an amazing five-day vacation. Much thanks to two tours of Nadev. One tour of the main sites and a second tour of the Jewish evil. Let me mention that the guide Sharon was amazing! The excitement in detail, the knowledge that it combined with fascinating stories in a much more combination of sensitivity and grace contributed to the whole experience to be no less than perfect and with much more!
Excellent experience. Instructor Telle Schipperin, was excellent, with extensive knowledge, gave very interesting and professional explanations. We also received many tips not related to the seminar.
We took part in a Berlin Jewish tour led by Sharon. A fascinating and interesting tour, going through all the landmarks related to Judaism. We received an excellent guide - Sharon, full of knowledge passed on in an interesting way, really lived Berlin.
We wanted to recommend Oren, unique and special. We did the Jewish tour with him. He passed through the tour in a fascinating and interesting way. Oren had a great knowledge of history and culture and everything. Professional, serious, accurate, thorough. The tour was very powerful! We were with the kids who were attentive all the time. Highly recommended.
My wife and I, Hawa and Bieta Schetter, have had a fun morning with our guide Ariel Rosenblum, Ariel has a broad education, Ariel delivers the material about Berlin Jewry and terror under Reich rule in a fascinating way, the stories behind the facts, Ariel combines knowledge and criticism, it was fun to listen to him and broaden his horizons, Ariel leaves a taste of more.
The amazing Peppy passed an interesting tour and experienced with endless knowledge We passed historic places, walls and monuments Professional and historical guide
On 17.8.2019, we conducted the Jewish tour with the guide Oren. A nice gentle guy, with immense amounts of knowledge, gave explanations in a fascinatingly storyline that left no one in the group, Adid. Oren delivered the material in a structured and fascinating way and I will definitely recommend it to anyone interested.
