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!
I have taken many of these free walking tours and this one was truly unique. Mary is very passionate and offers a most compelling point of view. It's a slow-paced tour that uses the surroundings to put history into perspective. This is NOT the tour for those wanting to check-off às many top tourist spots as possible. It's for those who want to leave with new insights on why Berlin is like it is. You will remember this one for a long time.
Our tour with Mary is exactly what I was hoping for when I booked it. It’s not your basic, run of the mill history tour - it’s thought provoking, interesting, and provocative in all the right ways. I’ve been on a ton of free walking tours and none compared to this in terms of the quality of information, the uniqueness of the content, and the overall topics discussed. I would absolutely recommend this tour for more seasoned, open minded people in Berlin. Mary, you are an absolutely wonderful human with amazing things to say!
Mary provided a very interesting and thought provoking tour. Through visiting many of Berlin’s historical sites Mary was able to give a broad perspective of the social context that led to many historical events and tie them to contemporary issues and events. A friendly and passionate tour guide!
Mary shares a lot of personal experiences and I really appreciate.
Mary is so knowledgeable and so brave to talk about current issues that other guides wouldn't even dare to touch as considered sensitive or in fear of being judged for it or facing different views. What she is doing is extremely important and she is so nice answering all questions and handling disputes from people with opposite opinions. The route is superb too.
