Dear travellers, My name is Celia and for over 15 years I have been researching, guiding and teaching others about Berlin. I specialise in German history and culture, particularly throughout the 20th century, with a special interest in German cinema and music. I offer private, bespoke tours tailored to visitors’ interests and needs. Understanding Berlin’s history is essential to understanding the history of Europe: from the rise and fall of the German Empire, through the 1920s and cabaret culture, to Nazism and the aftermath of World War Two with the division and Reunification of Germany. Berlin today is the result of complex historical processes that make it a fascinating city. Would you like to come and explore it? I can help you do just that. Tell me what interests you have and we can plan the route and focus on the topics you’d most like to explore. Thank you for choosing my tours!

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.

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.

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!

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!

Berlin in the Cold War. The divided city
For more than 40 years, Berlin was the scene of the Cold War, where the conflict took the form of a wall. The division of the world into major political blocs had an irreversible impact on the German capital. Berlin became two cities, two countries, two systems. And with it, border crossings, ghost stations, escape attempts and espionage. But how and why did it come to the construction of the Wall in 1961? These are just some of the topics we will explore in depth on this tour.

The town is a very beautiful spa town what makes the site even more terrible.

Berlin's Jewish history
Jewish and National Socialist history is my main focus as a Berlin Guide. Before Hitler, a third of German Jews lived in Berlin, and their traces are all over the town. We will follow them from the 17th century to the devastating 20th century and contemporary Jewish life in Berlin. On our way, we'll see a lot of famous Berlin monuments. It's easy to fill two days with Jewish history, just ask me! We can also change to a walking tour.
