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!

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!
