Berlin has many faces. I know most of them. Whether you're a family with curious kids, a group of students, a group of friends or a solo traveller — you are welcome here. I love big groups as much as intimate walks, and I create a space that is LGBT+ friendly, family friendly, and open to everyone. For large groups and school groups, just reach out directly — I'd love to make it work. I have been guiding in Berlin since 2015. I came as a musician, drawn by the city's creative chaos, and I stayed because Berlin never stops revealing itself. Every walk, a new detail. Every guest, a new exchange. That's what makes this job endlessly alive. My Fine Arts degree and lifelong passion for culture give me a particular eye — I don't just show you the city, I help you read it. The political statement in a mural. The architectural scar left by history. The neighbourhood that reinvented itself three times in thirty years. What I offer: Street Art & Contemporary Art Tours — Berlin is one of the world's greatest open-air galleries. We go beyond the famous walls and into the details: the sticker on the lamppost, the tiny sculpture on a road sign, the tag that started a movement. Berlin in the 1920s — Cabaret, Kink & Freedom — Weimar Berlin was the most sexually liberated city in the world: cabaret culture, queer bars, fetish clubs, avant-garde art, and a society pushing every boundary before history shut it all down. A fascinating, adult, unapologetic tour. Historical & Cold War Tours — A divided city, two worlds living side by side. The Wall, the checkpoints, the everyday life behind the Iron Curtain. Berlin's 20th century is one of the most dramatic stories ever lived in a single place. Food & Neighbourhood Tours — Neukölln, Kreuzberg, Prenzlauer Berg. The real Berlin is in its streets, its markets, its döner spots and its natural wine bars. We eat, we talk, we wander. Custom & Private Tours — Tell me what you love and we'll build something together.

Overview of your Berlin tour

Street art in Berlin is closely linked to the city’s modern history, urban change, and social identity. We explore key artworks and hidden layers that reflect Berlin’s complex past and present, from division and resistance to reunification and cultural transformation. We start in Mitte, around Hackescher Markt and House Schwarzenberg, a courtyard of alternative culture and independent art. We continue to the former Tacheles area, once a symbol of post-Wall artistic freedom. Next is Kreuzberg, with Mariannenplatz and Bethanien, a center of activism and social movements, followed by Görlitzer Bahnhof, a vibrant district shaped by street culture, migration, and nightlife, including Victor Ash’s Astronaut mural. The tour ends in Friedrichshain at the East Side Gallery, the longest remaining section of the Berlin Wall, now an open-air gallery of political art and memory. We also discover an “invisible city” of stickers, micro-art, and hidden urban details.

Elizabetta was such a wonderful guide! We learned so much and we were so grateful for her knowledge, flexibility and creativity. I feel like the theme of the tour could have been “resistance” - she really made the art and the neighborhoods come to life. She also kept my 12 year old son engaged, which was no easy feat! A bonus was Elizabetta taking us to the yummiest falafel place at the end - I still dream about that yummy falafel and I swear it was the best deal in Berlin! It was a great tour and I would not hesitate to recommend.

We really enjoyed Elisabeths passion for the area and for art. The tour opened up an entire area that we would have never found on our own. She is lovely to spend time with. Highly recommended!

A very interesting tour that engages you and Elisabetta gets the best score for giving us the history, the knowledge and up to date information about Street Art, and the alternative forms of expressing the society, from local and international artists.
