I am an Israeli who lives since 1987 in Berlin, a tour guide and a filmmaker. I deliver the highest quality experience, making your visit fun at the same time. I combine an excellent grasp of Central European and Jewish history with a deep knowledge of art, architecture and literature. A day in Berlin with me is the ideal introduction to the complicated often conflicting world of historic and contemporary Germany. I picks you up in my van, and guides you through the Enlightenment, the glory of 19c Germany, the downward spiral of the Nazi era, the post war division then recovery and brings you to today. I am an Alumni of the film & television dept. of Tel Aviv University. As of 1987 I continued my studies in film and communication at the Free University of West Berlin. In 1989 I began working as a tour guide in Berlin and the area for individuals and groups. In 1999 I wrote for the magazine 'City Mouse' for Berlin, and through the years I have written many articles about the city. I guide the diplomatic staff of the Israeli Embassy in Germany often, relating special topics and including official guests of the Embassy - Ministers, Military Attaches, Members of Parliament, City Mayors and more. All my tours can be customized upon request, so I invite you to contact me. I am an Alumni of the film & television dept. of Tel Aviv University.
