Hello, I'm Behzad from Iran, who never cancel the tours, even with just one guest! I am a formerly Ph.D. student in physics, but now, passionate about the history and vibes of Berlin. A city with an amazing history in each corner and a multicultural vibe. Why am I doing this? For more than a year, we have had a large group that goes out every week and visits a new neighborhood of the city, and we haven't visited a place twice! So I decided to share this experience and show Berlin, and all layers of it, to an even larger group of people, that are you! Guruwalkers!

Tour description

We would have been killed if we had participated in this walking tour 35 years ago! But don't worry it's not dangerous anymore. However, you can feel a little of the crises in this divided city. And you will know it's more than a "Tale of two cities"! It's the story of two different worlds in the middle of the cold war. Including stories of many people who suffered from these conflicts.

 In our walking tour, we will visit: 

  • Rabbit Field
  • Liesen Bridge
  • North Side Gallery
  • Berlin Wall memorial
  • Mauer Park
  • Japanese Cherry Trees on the path of Berlin Wall (in the Spring)

I love history and knew quite a lot of the Berlin Wall. But the amount of information that I received from Bahzad this morning were so much more than the little bit I knew. I love the fact that I now know so much more and can go home and google everything he told me. His knowledge is astounding and the 3 hour walk is well worth it. Marlene Cape Town South Africa

Behzad provided a very spacious, informative and interesting tour! Although I was the only participant, he still did the whole tour with me. He has a huge knowledge about the berlin history and culture, so there was no question he couldn't answer. He also showed lots of places and historical traces you wouldn't see at a typical walking tour in the center of the city.

I booked 3 walking tours during my trip to Berlin and this was by far the best of the tours. It was extremely informative, and got to learn a lot and see things that you would normally never notice. I was surprised that not many people book this tour. I would highly recommend this to anyone. And helps you feel what people must have gone through during the time of the wall

The best walking tour I've ever been on. Truly. Behzad is very knowledgeable and kind. His tour escapes the obvious routes without leaving any of the fundamentals behind. Win-win! Highly recommend it!
