I'm Ben F., your private tour guide in Berlin

Guide #30609

In 2013, I passed through Berlin by accident—and never left. I’m Ben, a history teacher and certified tour guide, and even after all these years, I still find it incredible that I call this city home. Born and raised in Israel, I grew up with the idea of Germany as the "forbidden land" and Berlin as the "capital of evil." But perhaps that’s exactly what drew me here—the city's layers of history, its resilience, and its power to transform. As a scholar of European and German history, I initially thought Berlin would be just another stop on my journey. Instead, I found a city unlike any other—complex, fascinating, and impossible to ignore. That’s why I stayed. That’s why I became a guide. And that’s why I love sharing my knowledge and passion for Berlin with visitors from around the world. What You Can Expect on My Tours 🔹 History Comes Alive – Walk through Berlin’s most iconic landmarks and hidden gems as I bring the city’s history to life, from Prussian grandeur to the rise and fall of the Berlin Wall. 🔹 Jewish Heritage & Memory – As an expert on Jewish life and history, I provide an insider’s perspective on the past, present, and future of Jewish life in Berlin and Germany. 🔹 Beyond the Landmarks – Explore the stunning palaces of Potsdam, experience the vibrant energy of Kreuzberg’s street art scene, or embark on a food and culture tour that dives into Berlin’s diverse flavors. I also offer fully customized tours tailored to your interests. Why Tour With Me? ✅ Certified Berlin Tour Guide ✅ Certified Guide for Sachsenhausen Concentration Camp Memorial ✅ Member of the Berlin Guides Association (Bündnis Berliner Stadtführer e.V.) ✅ 10+ years of experience guiding private and group tours ✅ Fluent in English & Hebrew Academic Credentials: 📖 M.A. in Political Economy (Labor Policies & Globalization) 📖 B.A in European History Whether you're visiting Berlin for the first time or returning for a deeper dive, I’d love to show you a side of the city that most tourists never see. Let’s explore Berlin together!

    Ben is very knowledgeable about Berlin and Jewish history. His perspectives were insightful. Being Israeli born was an added dimension.
