Hello, I'm Behzad, 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

For decades, Kreuzberg was a very special location in a very special city! That makes its history different and interesting. Now it is a district in the center of Berlin, known for its progressive and multicultural atmosphere, and more importantly for its art scene, Street Arts and Squatting.

There are a significant numbers of immigrants from all around the world, also many activists, artists, and expats that work and live in Kreuzberg, and because of them, it has a unique vibe and nightlife.
Besides, it's home to many international restaurants and bars, serving food and drink of every corner of the world!
