Berlin Personalized City History Tour

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.

Tiergarten

Strasse des 17. Juni 100, , Berlin, 10557

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.

30 minutes

Victory Column (Siegessaule)
