A "Senior Guide" by now, being a tour guide since 1994, I'm still passionate about this ever-changing town. This is Berlin to me: modern German politics, city planning, Prussian kings and emperors, avantgarde arts and cultures, multiethnic life, dreamy lakeshores, a great amount of freedom. . . but mostly, of course, it's the 20th century history which counts here. The two big tales of the 20th century were Berlin-made - one of deepest misery and one of highest joy - Hitler's Third Reich and the Fall of the Berlin Wall. It was the fascination of Berlin after the Wall had gone, the split city becoming one, that made me turn Berlin into my profession. I offer expertise and experience, comprehensive, top-quality and knowledgeable services, always focusing on my guests's interests and wishes. All my tours can be taken either with minivan, bus, or walking/taxi/public transport. All tours in English, Spanish or German. I also work as tour and travel guide in Germany, Czech Republic, and Poland, Krakow/Auschwitz. Apart from guiding, I love swing dancing and I create art (mostly drawings). Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Berlin! Certified member of BVGD (Federal Association of Guides in Germany) and Berlin Guide e.V. Certified guide in: Otto Weidt's Workshop of the Blind, Memorial KZ Sachsenhausen, Pergamon Museum, Old Museum, Charlottenburg Palace / New Wing Guiding in Topography of Terror, Jewish Museum, New Museum, Old National Gallery, Checkpoint Charlie Museum, Allied Museum, Stasi Museum Dipl.-Psych. in Psychology, Free University Berlin, Art Therapist

As we drove through the city, Janna pointed out the architecture and how it changed over the various historic areas in Berlin, something we would have never known. We also spent a lot of time in the former East Berlin hearing about life before the wall came down there and stopped by the remains of the wall. Our day ended at the Reichstag inside the glass dome. An excellent tour.

Janna was incredibly knowledgeable and prepared. She has her tour down to a T, bringing extra materials to help provide context, and flexible as well. It was a lot of fun! She was also very easy to understand. We had a tour of 4 people, and she had a car for us that comfortably fit our group + her + the driver + wheelchair. My parents continue to talk about how good of a tour it was! Would highly recommend
