I highly recommend that you book a tour with Gerrit Book!
He is so knowledgeable about the history and culture of Germany. He also went out of his way to recommend things for us to do when we were on our own.
Tobi Bear
Gerrit was AMAZING! He was so knowledgeable and thoughtful with his responses to our questions!
There wasn’t a question he could not answer. He was super insightful. Not only did we feel like we were always getting the inside story, but he also made it really fun too! I recommend him to everyone I know interested in travel and learning!
Mrs. Roman
Gerrit was well informed, personable and adaptable.
In 2 half days we had a great overview of the city and its history and learned to navigate the transportation system. It set the stage for the rest of our stay. I highly recommend him.
