My name is Kerstin and as a lifelong Berliner I have witnessed the Fall of the Wall and the reunification of Germany. I would feel happy to share with you this historical experience. Grown up and raised in former East Berlin I offer you my first-hand impressions about East and West joining each other. The dramatic changes 30 years ago meant a great chance to develop my passion for art and history in freedom. In these days I did start with all kind of guided VIP tours in Berlin and Potsdam for individuals as well as companies. I also organized several global conferences and larger events for several hundred participants with tailor-made programs in Berlin. Would you prefer an overview of the city's eventful history? Or, if you've visited Berlin previously, would you like to experience something new? There are many ideas and proposals waiting for you. Take interest, humor and my "magnifying glass" to enjoy this unique city! Potsdam: Official Licenses for guiding at Prussian Palaces as Palace Sanssouci (very few guides are allowed to guide inside) Castle Cecilienhof (Potsdam Agreement) New Chambers (Guests House at Sanssouci) Berlin: Museum Island Berlin (e.g. Pergamon Museum, Egyptian Museum, Old National Gallery), Jewish Museum (designed by Daniel Libeskind) Checkpoint Charlie Museum Topography of Terror (Nazi sites as SS and Gestapo HQ) Charlottenburg Palace Member of the Federal Association of Guides in Germany (BVGD) Education: Certificate as trained guide in Berlin and Potsdam (Berlin Guide e.V. / Potsdam Guide e.V.)

Overview of your Berlin tour

This fascinating tour takes you to the places which lay at the heart of the Third Reich, including the spot where Hitler took his life in the most bizarre circumstances. Discover the remains of the so-called "Thousand-Year Reich" and see Goering's Air Defence Ministry, as well as the site of Goebbels' Propaganda Ministry and the ruins of Himmler's SS and Gestapo HQ at the 'Topography of Terror' exhibition. I will explain the circumstances why the Wall was built and how life developed in the divided city in the times of Cold War. I am happy sharing my personal experience with you. This is a very informative and educational journey into the recent past!
