Hotel
My itineraries are not fix, we will go as we like and I will always accomodate your interests and wishes.
A former city gate, Brandenburg Gate became iconic when it was out of order for 28 years: it stood surrounded by the Berlin Wall. It's Germany's most important national symbol. Next to it is the German Parliament in the Reichstag building, and the Federal Government District, the Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe, the sites of Hitler's bunker and his chancellery, and Paris Square.
View Unter den Linden with historic monuments such as the Opera, Humboldt University, German History Museum. Gendarmenmarkt is Berlin's most beautiful square. You'll see the Museum Island and the reconstructed Berlin City Palace, now called Humboldtforum.
Alexanderplatz was the heart of East Berlin, marked by the Television Tower. We drive over Karl-Marx-Allee, an architectural propaganda project from the Fifties. The East Side Gallery is the longest piece of Berlin Wall still standing.
Driving through Kreuzberg and over Checkpoint Charlie, Potsdamer Platz to Kurfuerstendamm, the core of West-Berlin with the shopping district and Memorial Church.
Passing Tiergarten Park and the embassy district, we'll see the Federal Chancellery, the Federal Line, Spree River, the Main Station, the Parliament.

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!
