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.

Overview of your Berlin tour

From 1933 to 1945, Berlin was the capital of National Socialist (Nazi) Germany. Let me show you where Hitler, Goering, Goebbels, Himmler, and Heydrich conceived some of mankind's biggest crimes. See some of the architecture of megalomania built by Speer, such as Tempelhof Airport. I'll show you where Jesse Owens's gold medals duped the Fuehrer in the Olympics 1936. With our van, we can cover Nazi history spread all over the city, combining driving and walking parts, just as you please. I'm an expert of National Socialist and Jewish History of Berlin, striving to convey this darkest chapter of German history in a sensitive, informative way. I guide Holocaust Studies tours in Berlin, also to Krakow and Auschwitz or Prague. Also view the visit to Memorial Sachsenhausen Concentration Camp #6375, my Jewish Berlin: my main topic - Full-Day Tour, tour #6381 and the 20th Century Walk, #15255.

Janna was a wonderful guide for our family. We appreciated her vast knowledge. We saw and learned so much more in one day than we ever could have on our own.

We were lucky enough to get two days with Janna and loved both of them. She had a delightful sense of humor, and I can't imagine us finding anyone who was more knowledgeable. She seemed to know everything about the subject and made all of the information come to life in an amazing and entertaining way. We would be thrilled to have her again in the future and will be telling all of our friends about our wonderful experience.

Excellent driving tour of the city with train station pickup and delivery to our flat. Janna provide excellent insights and observations along the way; a very top notch tour guide!

Touring Berlin with Janna was great. She was incredibly knowledgeable about WWII and Hitler's rise and fall and explained in detail everything we were interested in. She even got us reservations to have tea atop the Reichstag and dinner in the TV Tower, both well worth doing. We would recommend her for everyone traveling in Berlin with an interest in history. Her English was excellent too.
