Dear traveler, I am glad that you're interested in experiencing Berlin! My name is Lee and I am happy to show you around. I am an experienced traveler, and I love meeting people from around the globe and exchanging local knowledge for international perspectives. I have called Berlin my home since 2004. Even 20 years is not enough to learn all about the city; Berlin will never stop surprising you! For me, this is the best thing about Berlin: It has a wealth to offer for every taste and every interest. I am particularly interested in the interrelations between historical events, architecture, and contemporary lifestyle. My favorite areas are Mitte, which is full of history and culture, and Kreuzberg, the alternative site of Berlin. I'm looking forward to introducing you to the most important parts of the city and to taking you off the beaten path to the areas that interest you most! Let me know what you are most curious about and I'll design the perfect itinerary for you. See you soon! Lee

Overview of your Berlin tour

What the East Germany's Socialist leaders praised as an ‘anti-fascist protective barrier’ was a good reason for many East Berlin citizens to risk their lives. This guided tour sheds light on the political and social reality in front of and behind the Wall: The local's creativity and adaptability was the antithesis to the Soviet determination devoted to the Wall as an increasingly impregnable "modern border". Our route is paved with eye-opening contrasts - not only between the political systems of the world powers that met in Berlin, but also between the architecture of the past and the present, which reflects the prevailing philosophies of eras in formal language.
