About this experience

For over 10 years I have been offering completely individual city tours in Berlin. My mission is to summarise the complexity of the capital with different and fascinating perspectives.
With me you get impressions about the development of the city: from its foundation, through the Kingdom of Prussia, the Nazi era, the GDR to the modern Berlin of today.
Whether a journey through history, a relaxed drive through the green Berlin (Tiergarten, Park Gleisdreieck, etc.) or capturing many beautiful photo motifs in well-known and hidden places. Everything is possible!

This is an individual tour.
The route can be personalised as desired.

This tour is also available for bigger groups (2 adults and 1 child per cab).

The guided tour can be in German, English, Italian, Spanish or French.

It is possible to order drinks separately.

Detailed itinerary

1

This is a popular meeting place on Alexanderplatz for tourists and Berliners as well. From the city's medieval border to the former centre of the GDR capital.

Part of the old town district of Spandauer Vorstadt, the Hackesche Höfe are considered the largest enclosed courtyard area in Germany.
An interplay of youth-style facades and pretty little backyards.

5
Stop 5

The former exit hall of the border crossing at Bahnhof Friedrichstraße, where you can still walk through the control counters.

6
Stop 6

A place full of history, here you can see what beauty meant 300 years ago. Then as now, a place for culture. An empty library commemorates the burning of books on 10 May 1933.

7
Stop 7

With its monumental buildings, Gendarmenmarkt is one of the most beautiful squares in Berlin, an ensemble of concert hall and churches adorned with towers.

8

The longest remaining section of the Berlin Wall still stands here in its original state.

10

One of the city's most important traffic junctions of the last two centuries shows itself with its very modern buildings. Destroyed by the division of the city, elements of the old Potsdamer Platz are still hidden today.

11

With many sights and bridges, it is known as the green heart of Berlin. Our route takes us past the Victory Column, the Office of the Federal President, the House of World Cultures, the Carillon and the Soviet Memorial and, of course, through the enchanting nature of the park.

12
Stop 12

Mostly linked to the Love Parade, the Victory Column with the Victoria Angel commemorates three important Prussian victories. Only in its vicinity do interesting details such as the gilded cannons stand out.

14
Stop 14

The government quarter was only built around the year 2000 and is located directly on the Spreebogen with the historic Reichstag building.

15
