Tours that make Berlin get under your skin.
Delivered by a passionate conversationalist.
A major European metropolis that likes slow mornings, Berlin is greener than most imagine and more welcoming than most expect. She has true grit despite her past, is dirty where she shouldn't be, and is polished where it's not needed. Berlin has many faces, wears many hats, and never stops giving you unexpected answers to questions you didn't dare ask.
Whether we’re tracing the Prussian footsteps of Mitte or exploring the complex social history of Berlin’s underground culture, these walks are built on insight and discovery. I always welcome a dialogue with you as I aim to address the topics that you find interesting, and to bridge the gap between the grand historical narrative and the living, breathing reality of the streets today.
So choose a tour that tickles your pickle and let's go!
Join me on the rollercoaster ride that is Berlin's history: the ups and downs, the twists and turns, and also, well, the crashes. The Prussian rise to power, the shadows of the Nazi era, the scars of the Cold War, the vibrant here and now, and everything in between.
We will visit Museum Island, the Palace Square, touch the Berlin Wall, see Checkpoint Charlie, Hitler's bunker, the Holocaust Memorial, walk through the Brandenburger Gate, and much more.
After four hours, you will feel much more at home.
If we look closely, we find that at the heart of every chapter in Berlin’s modern history, drugs have played a pivotal role. This tour traces the path from the 19th-century laboratories of Merck through the wild, Golden 1920s, the meth-fueled Blitzkrieg, and the addictions of the Nazi elite.
We explore the doping of the GDR and the post-unification Techno revolution that redefined the city’s nights. We will visit the sites that are still standing and the ghosts of those that no longer exist—uncovering the events, the people, and the ideologies that shaped, and were shaped by, Berlin’s relationship with substances.

I love people, am obsessed with cats, and often stop to admire trees. And I’m good with words. I believe there are no wrong questions, and I am happy to discuss anything that sparks interest. I enjoy shedding light on taboos and overlooked corners of history, and connecting the dots between past and present.
My tours are a collection of my favorite stories and facts that bring Berlin to life and make you feel a bit more at home, and I try to make them funny when possible and serious when needed. Drop me a line if you have any questions or requests, and join me for a walk through Berlin, a city that never stops giving up its secrets.
