Berliner since 1988 - I was here when the wall fell and I never left. Came here on the traces of David Bowie, settled, did 44 jobs and raised 2 kids. History is my passion as well as storytelling. With me you can get a deep dive in this city full of history. I do Prussia, 3rd Reich, Cold War, Socialist traces and tours to graveyards, concentration camp memorial sites and battlefields. We can walk, use public transport or car.

I’m doing this work since 8 years in Berlin and I love to be with people and explain the history of the city. This is why jetbike Berlin is a perfect combination of everything I love to do.

I hope you will join me on this special journey through time. You'll learn about the key events that shaped Berlin during the war years and see firsthand how the city has changed in the seventy years since the conflict ended. It's sure to be a memorable experience. So please, join us as we explore one of the most fascinating cities in the world. Thank you for choosing our tour!

Dear travellers, I'm Janna, a professional, "senior" Berlin tour guide since 1994, so I can truly say I have a lot of expertise, experience and qualification for an in-depth view of Berlin. German history is challenging and my job, as I perceive it, is to be open about our complicated and partly truly dark history. However, we can also just have a fun day with your family or enjoy the museums. My topics are wide-spread, and we can work out a customized tour with your ideas and interests. We can also just meet, I get a feel for you and devise a tour on the spot. I'm happy with supporting you to organize any bookings of show or museum tickets, or restaurants, plus van or bus transportation, airport transfers. I also like tour guiding in Germany and Europe. If I'm not guiding, I love creating art, dancing and enjoying the rich cultural life of Berlin, and the quiet countryside around Berlin. Looking forward to meet visitors from all over the world! See you in Berlin!

I came to Berlin in 2018 to pursue my doctorate in neuroscience. However, it's not only my studies that have kept me here. The city's fascinating history, international character, and unparalleled sense of freedom have all stolen my heart. I'm especially interested in exploring Berlin's history and examining German society, culture, and memory. I am specialized in Jewish-German history. In addition, I am a certified guide in the Berlin Guides Association. I'd be delighted to introduce you to the city through my eyes and share my unique perspective. Join me on a memorable journey through Berlin, where I'll show you everything that makes it one of the world's most captivating destinations. Discover the city's intricate past, present, and future as we explore its cultural and societal depths.

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.

Jeff M.

I am a social scientist, speaker, tour guide, sex educator, and freelance writer born in Luxembourg-City, Luxembourg and living in Berlin, Germany. I studied sociology and gender studies (B.A.) in Trier and Göttingen (Germany). I focussed my studies mainly on human sexualities, queer studies, and human-animal relations. In Berlin, I finished a training to become a certified sex educator in 2023. I have more than ten years of experience as a freelance writer and public speaker. I have been speaking publicly and writing for magazines such as SIEGESSÄULE (Berlin’s highest-circulating city magazine, as well as Europe’s most-read LGBTIQ magazine) or the Lëtzebuerger Journal, as well as for non-profits such as the German AIDS Service Organization (Deutsche Aidshilfe). I have been volunteering and working for several NGOs, including the German AIDS Service Organization (Deutsche Aidshilfe), Luxembourg’s HIV-Berodung and Stop AIDS Now / ACCESS. Since 2018, I have been successfully hosting my critically acclaimed guided tour Berlin’s History of Sex, supported by the Federal Foundation Magnus Hirschfeld. I have been working with educational institutions like Northwestern University (Illinois, USA) or the Freie Universität Berlin, Germany. I am also currently studying gender studies (M.A.) at the Humboldt University in Berlin, focussing my studies on human sexualities.

We are a group of three guides offering tours in English, German, and Spanish. Our tour style is informative yet untraditional and alternative. We like to believe that the tours are a walking comedy show, but you'll have to join us and confirm this! As fellow traveler myself, we created the experience I would enjoy when visiting a new city - a fun, uncensored look at history!

Day trip to female concentration camp of Ravensbrueck

A 1 hour train ride will bring us to the town in the north. In Ravensbrueck nearly 150.000 mostly female prisoners were arrested under terrible conditions. About 50.000 died here. We will explore the many stations of the memorial for 3-4 hours. The site is not overcrowded and you learn more about the suffering of female prisoners under female SS guards. The town is a very beautiful spa town what makes the site even more terrible.

Third Reich tour

Berlin's history is deeply marked by the Nazi era, a brief but devastating period from 1933 to 1945. Although almost every historical tour in Berlin will touch the topic, the Third Reich tour offer the full focus about Hitler's rise to power and the Nazi regime's destructive impact. Although much physical evidence was destroyed, numerous historical traces remain throughout the city. Additional sites can be added upon request: the Olympic Stadium, the Russian War Memorial, and Tempelhof Airport

There were eight of us in Berlin. Steven led us through the city. We had a personalized tour of the city's highlights. Steven is a great guide who tailors the tour to the group. He's a pleasant person and incredibly knowledgeable, responding well to the group's questions. I would definitely recommend Steven for a tour of Berlin.

Matthew M.

Thank you very much for taking the time to write such a thoughtful review, Erwin. I’m really pleased to hear that you enjoyed the tour and that Steve was a good fit for your group. I will make sure to pass your kind words on to him. He will really appreciate hearing your feedback. Our goal is always to tailor the day to each group and to encourage thoughtful questions, so I am glad that came through during your tour. Thank you again for choosing us. If you are ever back in Berlin or planning another trip focused on history, please feel free to get in touch. You would be very welcome.
