Berlin has many faces. I know most of them. Whether you're a family with curious kids, a group of students, a group of friends or a solo traveller — you are welcome here. I love big groups as much as intimate walks, and I create a space that is LGBT+ friendly, family friendly, and open to everyone. For large groups and school groups, just reach out directly — I'd love to make it work. I have been guiding in Berlin since 2015. I came as a musician, drawn by the city's creative chaos, and I stayed because Berlin never stops revealing itself. Every walk, a new detail. Every guest, a new exchange. That's what makes this job endlessly alive. My Fine Arts degree and lifelong passion for culture give me a particular eye — I don't just show you the city, I help you read it. The political statement in a mural. The architectural scar left by history. The neighbourhood that reinvented itself three times in thirty years. What I offer: Street Art & Contemporary Art Tours — Berlin is one of the world's greatest open-air galleries. We go beyond the famous walls and into the details: the sticker on the lamppost, the tiny sculpture on a road sign, the tag that started a movement. Berlin in the 1920s — Cabaret, Kink & Freedom — Weimar Berlin was the most sexually liberated city in the world: cabaret culture, queer bars, fetish clubs, avant-garde art, and a society pushing every boundary before history shut it all down. A fascinating, adult, unapologetic tour. Historical & Cold War Tours — A divided city, two worlds living side by side. The Wall, the checkpoints, the everyday life behind the Iron Curtain. Berlin's 20th century is one of the most dramatic stories ever lived in a single place. Food & Neighbourhood Tours — Neukölln, Kreuzberg, Prenzlauer Berg. The real Berlin is in its streets, its markets, its döner spots and its natural wine bars. We eat, we talk, we wander. Custom & Private Tours — Tell me what you love and we'll build something together.

Overview of your Berlin tour

Berlin at Your Feet! Step into Berlin’s bold layers of history and desire, where sexual freedom, queer culture, and fetish expression shaped the city’s identity — from the radical energy of the 1920s, often evoked in Babylon Berlin, to the scenes that define it today. Walk through traces of liberation movements, spaces of resistance, and a city that has long challenged conventions around gender, sexuality, and self-expression. The atmosphere of Weimar-era Berlin still lingers in its streets, where history and lived reality overlap. From memorials and historic landmarks to hidden corners of alternative culture, each step reveals a different face of Berlin’s fearless spirit. This experience connects past and present: the city that became iconic, and its living queer and kink scenes today. Expect an insider perspective on queer spaces, clubs, and fetish culture. Ask boldly — Berlin reveals more the further you go.

Your Berlin tour itinerary

We will meet at Haus der Kulturen der Welt, a symbolic gateway into Berlin’s layered world of culture, freedom, and experimentation. From here, the journey follows the legacy of Magnus Hirschfeld and his pioneering work in early sexology, where Berlin began openly exploring sexuality, identity, and desire. We move through echoes of the Weimar Republic and 1920s Berlin — a city of radical freedom, queer visibility, and artistic excess — and visit the Memorial to the Homosexuals persecuted under Nazism, a quiet space of remembrance and resistance. The route continues through Schöneberg and Kreuzberg, long-time hubs of queer life and alternative culture still alive today. Depending on the group, we may step into selected BDSM shops and fetish boutiques, or shift into a more playful insider shopping experience — from understanding the scene to curating your look for your iconic night at KitKat Club.
