After studing Graphic Design and Art History I moved to NYC where I work as photographer for 4 years. Now in Berlin I work as local photographer and bike tour guide. When I'm not working as a guide, I'm usually taking photos for local brands and fashion designers. I'm a lover of the Bauhaus architecture and brutalism german buildings.

From the jagged angles of the Jewish Museum to the inner "vineyards" of the Philharmonie, Berlin boasts some of the world's finest architecture. And the easiest way to see it is by bike.
This it’s the best way to discover Berlin while learning about the history of the city through its architecture. This ride covers all the important spots from the Bauhaus Archive to Norman Foster's Reichstag. I will take you to the best classic and modern buildings while chatting about the story and the architect behind each spot. Some of the great sites on this tour include: Brandenburg Gate, Peter Eisenman's Holocaust Memorial, the Netherlands Embassy designed by Rem Koolhaasthe, Frank Gehry's DZ Bank building, Frederick Schinkel's Konzerthaus, and much, much more!
We'll meet at Alexander Platz, the quintessential of East German architecture where we will rent the bikes (14 € rental optional) here we'll have a talk about the history behind the famous TV
Tower and will take you from East to West Berlin to the Bauhaus Archive and on our way we are goign to see the most iconic buildings in town.
- Why is called a Free tour?
Because is free!! The tour is based on tips only, and you can bring your own bike or I can arrange a rental for you.
- How long it is?
About 3 hours
- Can I take pictures?
Yes! I'm also a photographer and I'm willing to help you with architectural photo tips!
In front of the main door of the TV tower, look for a big redhair beard and purple cap! a purple cap.
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).
