"Ich bin ein Berliner" since 1992. But I know the city since the early 80s, cause a relevant of mine had established his own Restaurants in the western City since the late 70s. Berlin in those days, on both sides of the wall, it was a total different city. I started 2004 to work as a trained tour guide for the Berlin/Brandenburg region. As a member of the "Berlin Guide" association, I'm one of the first DIN-EN 15565 (Guideline of the German National Tourist Guide Association) Graduated Tour Guides in Germany and Europe. Its the -state of the art- qualification rate. Meanwhile I've earned several licenses to guide through the castles and historic gardens in Berlin and Potsdam. (www. spsg. de) Myself occurs for this association sometimes well dressed as a historic person, to perform within a booked tour. Although I' m related to the main barrier free Tour Agency in here. Hiring a special Wheelchair Bus or another van for a Trip No problem. I am a professional Tour Guide for Berlin and Potsdam/Brandenburg Region since 2004. And I'm now one of the first Graduated Tour Guides, Qualified with DIN EN 15565 (Guideline of the German National Tourist Guide Association) in Germany and Europe. This includes various advanced skills. Although I've got many guiding-licenses for the castles and gardens of the Prussian Castles and Garden Foundation, like Sans Souci in Potsdam. In Germany its not allowed to drive a car and give sightseeing-informations by the same person.This services must be done by two different personas.

An excursion into the former east-west exclusion zone. Starting at the famous "Bridge of Spies", we visit the formerly divided village of Glienicke, following in the footsteps of the Wall of 1961. Then up to the park and "Babelsberg Palace". The castle from the 1860s belonged to Emperor Wilhelm I and his wife Augusta. We walk over to "Glienicke Palace". Since 1824 a summer residence with an English landscape park and a view of the "Gulf of Naples" Then we walk along the banks of the Havel River, a former "no man's land" strip, into the "New Garden". To the world-famous site of the "Potsdam Conference", "Cecilienhof Palace". . On the riverbank at a "Grotto" from 1788, the last traces of the East-West division. The park walk takes us past the historic "Marble Palace", erected 1787, to the exit in Potsdam, where we finish. Return to the hotel.
This tour was exactly what we were looking for! A perfect route to see some great sites just outside of central Berlin. Gerard was an excellent guide and extremely knowledgeable (with a great balance of history and stories focused on what we were interested in most). He made it so easy to navigate public transportation too. We highly recommend this tour.
A very long but informative day. The palaces were interesting and were a nice counterpoint to the emphasis on WW2 and the division of Germany. It was also enjoyable to get around on public transportation which seems relatively easy in Berlin.
- We start from the meeting point and then we tour by public trains and busses to the southern end of Berlin. I am willing to customize this tour according to your preferences, please contact me for a customized tour. I have already done this tour with a group, but I hired a bus and driver in advance. this makes the tour considerably more expensive, because the hire car has to be rented for 6 hours. estimated at 400, -€ Start is at the "Bridge ". We walk into the small village Glienicke, on traces of the Berlin Wall. Uphill, into the great park of "Palace Babelsberg", with a short overview. Then back to the Bridge, we walk into the landscape garden of "Palace Glienicke". A summer residence of a prussian prince, with a nice view. Afterwards we walk along the Havel river side, into the historic "New Garden". A brief visit of "Palace Cecilienhof", the hotspot of the "Potsdam Conference". Ffinally we pass by at the "Holy Lake" with his romantic "Marbel Palace". Ending at the Potsdam Park exit . Back to Berlin.
