About Tour Guide Joerg S.
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.

Day trip to female concentration camp of Ravensbrueck
A 1 hour train ride will bring us to the town in the north. In Ravensbrueck nearly 150.000 mostly female prisoners were arrested under terrible conditions. About 50.000 died here. We will explore the many stations of the memorial for 3-4 hours. The site is not overcrowded and you learn more about the suffering of female prisoners under female SS guards. The town is a very beautiful spa town what makes the site even more terrible.

“Great Day in Berlin”
What a great experience! Joerg was an incredible source of information. He was conversational, open to our questions and ready to answer. Be ready for a significant amount of walking but what a great way to delve into and be enveloped by the history and scenery of the city. Couldn't recommend Joerg and this tour more!

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!

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!
