WWII Battlefield Tour - Seelow Heights
This is a rare opportunity to explore the forgotten and untouched battlefields where some of the most brutal fighting of World War II took place. You will see first-hand how 768,000 Soviet troops, over 22,000 tanks, artillery and aircraft descended on some 15,000 German defenders in the Soviet push toward Berlin. It was here that the fate of Germany during World War II was sealed.

“Personal Tour Berlin”
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.

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!
