Hi there, I'm Theo and I've been a full-time professional guide for nine years. I love my job and I consider it a real privilege to show people around the city I love. Tours performed by me personally have accrued just over one thousand 5-star reviews across the various review sites, so you're in safe hands. I look forward to meeting you!
Would you like to see the city with a native English-speaking tour guide who has had the honor to be a full-time tour guide in the city of Berlin since 2014? Then read on.
Through years of experience, I have learned that these tours are most enjoyable for you if I hone it down to just the most exciting stops and the most interesting stories.
Alfred Hitchcock once said "the length of a film should be directly related to the endurance of the human bladder," and I think that applies doubly so to a tour. You're on holiday, I appreciate that. You want to see the main sites, take the best photos, maybe laugh a little, and then head off on to the next adventure.
With that in mind, I keep the tour to an entertaining one and a half hours. During that time we will see the main sites, allowing you to take photos of:
More important than the sites themselves are the stories. Little insightful or interesting anecdotes; escapes over and under the Wall, why there's a Wall in the first place, tales from the Battle of Berlin, Hitler's last day, what even is Checkpoint Charlie, etc, etc.
Having done these tours for the better part of a decade, I can usually field any history question you may have about the nation or the city, and can also offer suggestions of the best places in the city for gin, pretentious coffee (my vice), or the most memorable Berlin restaurants with something unique to them.
I hope to see you soon,
Theo
I will be underneath the Pariser Platz signpost in front of the American embassy with a very obvious rainbow coloured umbrella and name badge. Please note, there may be other tours running in the square, often with other coloured umbrellas. I personally only operate underneath my rainbow umbrella, so if you see a red umbrella, blue umbrella etc, that's somebody else. Don't go with them, they are strangers, and our mothers taught us all to never go anywhere with strangers ;)
Free tours do not have a set price, instead, each person gives the guru at the end of the tour the amount that he or she considers appropriate (these usually range from €10 to $50 depending on satisfaction with the tour).
