About Tour Guide Juan P.

Hi, I'm Juan from the sunny island of Majorca, I first visited Berlin on a sunny Easter in 1999, when only ten years after the wall came down, so the traces of the division were even more visible than now. Someone recommended me, before you decide to live in Berlin, you should spend a winter first, and so I did. It was only going to be a couple of years and here I am, after 25 and having seen the changes the city has undergone in the new millennium.

Berlin is unique in the world because has an amazing history mostly in the last 100 years. After being 80 % destroyed in the 2WW many people thought the city will not make it and would be placed somewhere else. But like Phoenix from the ashes it become again the city that it was before but that was not that easy . Now you have a collage of historical buildings, modern architecture (some nice & many not that nice), dozens of small cities called neighbourhoods & the tracks of the destruction and division. Nowadays is the city where everything is possible and the feeling of freedom and tolerance is stronger than never before.

One of my favorite pastimes is exploring the Berlin landscape, always on the lookout for the latest exhibitions, cultural events and hidden green spaces. As a Berlin aficionado, I've delved into the city's rich history, from its classical roots to its modern transformations. Whether it's iconic landmarks or little-known gems, I love sharing my knowledge with curious explorers. And when it comes to neighborhoods, I know them like the back of my hand. So if you want to immerse yourself in Berlin's culture, history and hidden treasures, I'm here to make your experience unforgettable. Let's explore this dynamic city together!

I offer tours in English and Spanish.
