About Tour Guide Janna R.
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!
$350/ per group

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.
