Voices of our Clients

Thank you ever so much for the wonderful, informative and moving tour that you gave Esther and me in Berlin.  We both found it exactly the right balance of history and future,....education and emotion,....and tragedy and optimism.  
We will both emphatically recommend your company and you personally to our contacts.  I hope to return next year with my sons and husband. It truly was the highlight of our trip and will be the fuel for many conversations for years to come.  Thank you for sharing your expertise and experience with us.
We were lucky to have found you. Deb Sudbury

We just returned from Vienna yesterday evening. Your guide was the highlight of Vienna for our family. She was informative, intelligent, interesting, and had an infinite knowledge of history. Gerta has a warm personality and our family loved her! She gave us a good balance of Vienna as well as the Jewish life there. She was empathetic about difficult topics. (Her English is perfect). Anyone who has her as their tour guide will be exremely lucky and come away from Vienna with more of an understanding of the culture, people and its history. Thank you so much, Noa.
All the best, Peggi, John, Sarah and Meryl

Dear Noa, Mark and I have just returned from our holiday in Europe. After Riga, we went to London and then France (to follow the Tour de France for a few days.) Our tour of Jewish Riga was definitely a highlight of our holiday. Inese was a wonderful guide. She was extremely knowledgeable on the subject and compassionate as well, considering that it was such an emotional experience for us. The time went by much too fast. ... We will certainly recommend this tour to others.
Kind regards, Debra H.

Dear Miriam and Noa, I just had to write to you to tell you how fantastic the guide was who lead my passengers in Berlin. They have't stopped raving about him...
You have been delightful to and most efficient to work with and I look forward to doing this again in the future. I was lucky to have found your company when doing reasearch.
Sincerely, Marjorie Shatsky

Dear Miriam, Just wanted to drop you quick note of praise and thanks.
Our tour with Alex was truly one of the highlights of our trip, mostly thanks to Alex's wonderful personality, breadth of knowledge, and flexibility in tailoring the tour to our personalities and desires. I am sure I do not need to elaborate on Alex, I am sure I dont need to sing his praises, but I just want to make sure you know what a gem we think he is. We were in awe of his intelligence, warmth, and, as my mom put it, 'adorableness' ... so, in conclusion, thank you so much, we learned so much and promise to refer your services in the future to anyone travelling to Berlin, surely a milk and honey tour is now a 'must' in Berlin on my list.

Ilya was extremely good and driver was great too. You did a great job in arranging this at such short notice. I will certainly recommend you!
Best regards, Daniel

We want to thank you so very very much for the most terrific and moving (both emotionally and physically) tour of our entire trip. I have referred "milk and honey tours" to my travel agent and some others who are touring this summer, and I hope they all contact you ... I still can't believe I let my foot fall onto German soil, and I credit the positive experience to you, your expertise, and mostly to your warmth and enthusiasm. There are so many things that are just now filtering into my conscious, and a million things I'd like to see again or explore more... perhaps, someday. Right now, I talk about you and your assistants, the memorials and absence, and the museum...and the creativity and competitions that have informed the new Berlin. It's enough!
Paula and Lou Silver

We want to thank you for the wonderful tour you put together for us. We learnt so much and want to compliment your guides Thorsten and Chaja who were outstanding both in knowledge and personality. We thoroughly enjoyed being with them and hope that we meet up again some time...
Kindest Regards, Rhona and Stanley

We are home again and I have access to my own email. I just wanted to let you know what a terrific job Caroline did in showing us around Berlin. She was a delightful guide and all eight of us felt she made our short time in Berlin both interesting and very memorable for us.
The bus was quite comfortable, although it was rather a long ride, and Mike, the driver was competent and pleasant. Thank you again for all of your efforts in making our visit to Berlin something we will all remember.
Regards, Donna Barron

Well I've been back in Canada since January 2nd, and am finally catching up!! I just wanted to thank you again for the wonderful tour you gave us in Berlin. Jaimi and I loved every minute of our trip. And I did want to once again tell you how you started our trip off for us in such an informative and educative fashion.
My best regards, Paula Gardner

I just want to tell you how inspiring,educational, and worthwhile the tour you arranged was. It was a pleasure meeting you and the other guides you arranged. I would recommend milk and honey to anyone travelling to germany.
Thanks again. Rabbi Stephen Leon

Allan and I are now back in Boston. We wanted to tell you that we enjoyed our tour with Caroline and wanted to thank you very much. It was the most memorable part of whatwe did in Berlin. Caroline was wonderful. I have passed the contact information about milk and honey tours on to our travel agent and I have already told many people about your tour service.
Thanks again and best of luck to you. Shelly

Thank you so much for your expertise in showing us Jewish Berlin last spring. You helped make our trip meaningful and the memories more lasting, and we look forward to returning to Berlin.
We've given your name and Milk and Honey's reference to several friends, who travel a lot and would be wonderful candidates for your tour. We highly recommend they contact you.
All best wishes, Sarajane Johnson and Arthur Goldberg

I am writing to say again how good it was to spend time with you in Berlin. My experience was so varied and complicated. Being able to talk with you and share some of the emotional impact was of tremendous value to me.
Your thoughtful planning and knowledge showed me things I would not have learned about, and your openness and honesty allowed me to speak honestly, which was a great relief. I was experiencing distress that I could not otherwise discuss. So thank you for the many ways you offered safe harbor.
With best wishes and my gratitude, Alison

Ich möchte mich auf diesem Wege noch einmal herzlich für den Stadtrundgang bedanken - sowohl die Jugendlichen als auch ich selber fanden die Führung sehr informativ und vom Niveau her präzise unseren Wünschen angepasst. Bitte geben Sie dieses "Lob" auch an "unseren Stadtführer" weiter.
Ralf Zielinski

We also wanted to let you know how much we enjoyed the tour with our guide from your company. Our experience was very moving and definitely the highlight of our trip to Berlin. I'm so glad we followed your advise - thank you for being persistent!
Shelly and Alan Dessen

We are sending this note to let you know how appreciative we were of the tour of Jewish Berlin given by Carolyn. It was all one could want on a tour of such an important place as Berlin on such a sensitive subject. She knew her subject, and almost cried with us for the history of our people.
Richard and Elfriede Schlesinger

My parents and I had the pleasure of being guided through Berlin with Milk and Honey. Our ONLY complaint was that that we did not schedule enough days in order to benefit from their vast knowledge base and love for Berlin.
We found their style of guiding perfectly in synch with our needs in terms of trying to understand the complexity of the past, the intersection of memory and history, the pre war Berlin and the Berlin of today with a renaissance of Jewish life emerging again.
The guides are top level and you will not be disappointed. Just plan longer than you think since Berlin is the most fascinating city with the most complex history that it takes longer than you will be able to carve out for an unforgettable visit to Berlin guided by Milk and Honey.
