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.

    The special tour that was created by our guide Ben F. perfectly met our two main objectives: the history of Berlin, especially pre and post WW2 ,and the specific sights that were so significant for our father and grandfather. Our entire family was totally immersed in the stories and sights that allowed us to reach out to our ancestors, from finding the grave of...

The driver was great and the van very comfortable. Ben did an excellent job providing an overview of the...

    Knowledgeable, flexible and such a pleasant person. We spent the day with him and saw so much of Berlin. He rearranged the tour to try to avoid some morning rain. We learned about the history of Berlin and had a great lunch. We highly recommend him and would book him again.
