Rachel Wells
Hello! I’m Rachel. I originally hail from sunny Southern California. After I finished my honors degree in History at the University of Washington and worked for a bit in Seattle, I decided to leave Mexican food and the Standard system behind and packed my bags for Berlin. My love for the city started in my third year of university when I studied Berlin’s history for a semester at the Humboldt University Berlin.
Having lived in Berlin since 2013, I feel I can give a well-rounded and interesting historical perspective to the city’s visitors. I was also raised in a Jewish home and really enjoy helping Jewish visitors to Berlin explore their heritage here. Having specialised in Prussian and Cold War history specifically, trips to Potsdam are always a fun and exciting way to understand another side of German history for me.
I am also proudly a member of the Bündnis Berliner Stadtführer, the association of professional tour guides in Berlin.

Ljuba Poleva
I am a highly experienced and fully licensed private tour guide. I have been showing international visitors the wonders of Prague for close to twenty-five years, ever since the fall of the Communist Regime in 1989 when tourism in the Czech Republic began to take off. I am fluent in English, Russian, and Czech and offer tours in all these languages. I specialize in leading tours of the historical Jewish sights of Eastern and Central Europe. These sights include the Jewish Quarter of Prague, Theresienstadt, Kolin, and the old Ghetto towns of the Czech Republic (to name just a few). I also provide tours of the non-Jewish sections of Prague. My education and prior work experience have provided me with the skills and knowledge necessary to give informative and interesting tours. I have a doctorate degree in the Philosophy of Judaism from Charles University and have worked at the Jewish Museum in Prague both in the Archive Department and as a personal guide.
Matti Geyer
I am Matti, a long-time private tour guide in Berlin, Germany. Among my tours is a Jewish Berlin tour, and many of my clients are Jewish (usually from either Israel or the US). While I’m not Jewish myself, I have a close connection to Berlin’s Jewish culture, as my mom works for the Jewish community. She’s the PA of the head of Berlin’s Jewish community (long story short: my parents are East Germans, hence had to learn Russian and after the Fall of the Berlin Wall the Jewish community in Berlin needed Russian translators for the many Jewish immigrants coming from former Soviet countries). I’ve studied History and English at the University of Potsdam and have been a guide since 2008.
