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 really connected with the modern history, urban and social life of the town. On our walk we will run into some of the most beautiful art pieces of the city but primarily the more significant ones, still able to give a precious view on the complicated history of this town and reveal subtle aspects of the surrounding environment. On the other hand, Street Art is also made of small, hidden corners hard to spot and understand. This "Invisible City" will show itself to our eyes in the form of stickers, tiny cute sculptures, details and many artistic "litemotiv" that will follow the guests even after the end of the tour. The tour takes part mainly in Kreuzberg 36, the alternative and local oriented district which development and aspect has been shaped by its proximity to the wall: here people are trying to preserve some of the old Berlin, fighting gentrification and the many changes of the last tens.
