Culture, Education & Travel

With the Agency Book from Berlin

Do you love to travel, to hear stories, to meet different people? Do you like to get surprised? Are you curious to experience new things? Do you have an idea for a trip, for a project, or for a workshop?

 

We can assist you to realize your ideas. Together we are going to make your dreams into realities. Every trip, every project, every workshop, and every encounter will tell a unique story.

Culture, education, and travel should be like an exciting book or a thrilling movie. They should broaden the horizon and stimulate your curiosity to experience something new and special.

 

We can work with you to customize your trip, project, or workshop, and we can offer you a selection of pre-packaged programs. We specialize in lectures and workshops, partial and full-day tours, weekend or full-week and longer excursions.

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.
