"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.

Overview of your Berlin tour
Berlin has several faces. From the old heart, we tour to different places of history and modern life. The former cold war hot spot Berlin is nowadays a vibrant Metropol. The typical "Berlin blend" of architecture, Memorial places, multi-cultural influences, and Documentation Centers of world history, art, and lifestyle, makes the city so unique. A place of "Must have seen": Discover the surprising origins of this green metropolis and get a feel of how the city grew through the centuries into the Prussian Empire to end up as the birthplace of the Avant Guard in the Golden '20s: inspiring, tolerant, progressive, and explosive.

My tour with Gerhard was the best walking tour I have ever taken. He is intelligent, funny and has an in depth knowledge of Berlin that is unparalleled. I felt like I was taking a Master's course in Berlin history, Our meeting place was centrally located, and he was prompt. Communication was ideal. I had never been to Berlin so I wanted to immerse myself in its rich and complicated history. I couldn't have asked for a better guide. He took me to the "must see" sights and also lesser known areas. Bravo!
