Jessica Cartwright is one of the most sought after guides in the city - not only because of her in depth knowledge of past and present Berlin but also for the phenomenal way in which she conveys its history with spirit, suspense and compassion. To fully appreciate the Berlin of today, Jessica navigates you through the many layers of its diverse past. From its swampy origins to the rise of the Prussian army, through Hitler’s megalomaniacal vision for a new world capital to the communist totalitarian regime that led to division and the construction of the Berlin wall.Come and experience Berlin through her stories of the city and its people as they stood at the gates of history with her “multimedia” props and passionate recounting of some of history’s most pivotal moments. « less

Jessica did a fantastic job of managing a very large group (around 50 of us) on a 4-hour walking tour of Berlin. She is knowledgeable, insightful, funny and passionate about the history of the city and kept us thoroughly engaged for the whole tour! She used graphics (from an ipad) to great effect, giving more depth to the historical sights... More

We had not been to Berlin since 1991 and wanted to reacquaint ourselves with the city. Jessica was recommended to us by friends and we met, after some very helpful schedule changes / flexibility on her part, at the Tor to begin our walk. Jessica's knowledge of Berlin, The Third Reich and the Cold War in her city is phenomenal.... More

Jessica did an amazing job of tailoring our almost 4 hour walking tour of Berlin to my three kids 12, 10 and 7. She spoke directly to them and told them about the city in a way that engaged them. She had great illustrations (on iPad, handdrawn, and maps) that made us truly understand the history of the city and... More

Living in Geneva and used to the level of service one gets here, I was very impressed by how flexible, professional and service minded Jessica was. This mindset is not something we are very used to over here;). We had to change the time for the tour a few times and also the length of it and Jessica was so... More

I have been in Berlin a couple of times the last few years - and I never go there without booking a tour with Jessica in advance! She is a guide that knows a lot, and she is really interested in Berlin and its history - and that you notice at once. She has her routes - but if you... More
