"Ich bin ein Berliner" since 1992. But I know the city since the early 80s, cause a relevant of mine had established his own Restaurants in the western City since the late 70s. Berlin in those days, on both sides of the wall, it was a total different city. I started 2004 to work as a trained tour guide for the Berlin/Brandenburg region. As a member of the "Berlin Guide" association, I'm one of the first DIN-EN 15565 (Guideline of the German National Tourist Guide Association) Graduated Tour Guides in Germany and Europe. Its the -state of the art- qualification rate. Meanwhile I've earned several licenses to guide through the castles and historic gardens in Berlin and Potsdam. (www. spsg. de) Myself occurs for this association sometimes well dressed as a historic person, to perform within a booked tour. Although I' m related to the main barrier free Tour Agency in here. Hiring a special Wheelchair Bus or another van for a Trip No problem. I am a professional Tour Guide for Berlin and Potsdam/Brandenburg Region since 2004. And I'm now one of the first Graduated Tour Guides, Qualified with DIN EN 15565 (Guideline of the German National Tourist Guide Association) in Germany and Europe. This includes various advanced skills. Although I've got many guiding-licenses for the castles and gardens of the Prussian Castles and Garden Foundation, like Sans Souci in Potsdam. In Germany its not allowed to drive a car and give sightseeing-informations by the same person.This services must be done by two different personas.
