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

Overview of your Berlin tour

Berlin is the 20th Century City: what started right here changed the whole world. World War I and World War II were conceived in Berlin. The Berlin Battle and Hitler's suicide ended the European battlefields. The Berlin Wall was the epitome of the world's division in East and West during the Cold War. The fall of the Berlin Wall brought new hope and dreams of a better world. All these topics are to be found in a square mile in Berlin's city center, and I will show them to you! With more than 30 years of experience, I have a story to tell on every corner. My aim is to explain this messy German history as well as possible! Famous sites right in the city center: Potsdamer Platz, Brandenburg Gate, Government Area with Reichstag, and the Berlin Wall. Mostly 20th-century history. Walking tour means, if needed, we use taxi or public transport.
