Working as a certified Berlin guide for over 30 years I'm very happy to share with you my experience as a contemporary witness of life in the divided city, the amazing fall of the wall and all the changes that took and take place here in Berlin, this fantastic city with a fabulous variety of sights, museums, art galleries, shops, clubs and pubs. I studied in Berlin, Rome, Paris and Washington, graduated in art history, german history and literature, and published two books, one of them about the turkish immigrants in Berlin. Since I started to work as a certified guide in the late 80s it's a big pleasure to meet people from all over the world here in Berlin. I can offer you a program aimed at your individual interests and needs and accompany you to unusual places for an unusually normal price. You have the choice between a general overview or a theme orientated exploration of the city. Either by bus, limousine, public transport, taxi, by bicycle or to foot: You determine the form of transport. Wether for two hours or more, a day or a week, there are plenty of things to discover. A visit to Potsdam is also worthwhile. This small city with its quaint historical city center also offers an array of beautiful parks and royal palaces that belong to the UNESCO world cultural heritage. Excursions outside of Berlin are also on the agenda, for example a visit to the huge lift lock in Niederfinow, or to the royal palace in Rheinsberg or to the Spreeforest, a biosphere reserve by UNESCO. An insight into the extraordinary steer you towards the ideas behind the obvious. Always competent and always witty.

    Hilke was fantastic. She is quite colorful and funny, and she kept us laughing with some of her stories/antics. We hit all of the major attractions in Berlin, and with detailed information about each. I would absolutely recommend a tour from her.

    Hilke’s driver was prompt to pick us up and went out of his way to get a step stool to help me get in to the van. Hilke was very knowledgeable about the history of Berlin and what led up to WW 11 and the Berlin Wall. It is not a simple explanation and Hilke tied everything together for us. She also took us to a Beirgarden for lunch so we could sample authentic German...

    Hilke provides fantastic tours. She and I talked several times before the tour and she accomplished everything we discussed and more. Her knowledge of Berlin was outstanding and covered both the prewar (World War II), postwar, and then current day Berlin. Hilke showed us the key sites and explained the history of what happened. As my wife, Helen and I looked back on...
