My name is Martin. I love telling people exciting stories and showing them a good time. Besides the usual ones, I know a lot of magical places in Berlin that even many Berliners have never visited. For ten years, I organized scavenger hunts for adults here. Now I'm back for free walking tours in my city as a tour guide and explainer. Guide with 10+ years of experience. I've led 360+ events. I've visited 40+ countries, and I've participated in countless city walks myself. German, English, Spanish, French.

Tour description

The Berlin tour: Martin's marvellous mix

How could a 3,000m champion run right through the GDR wall? Who was James Bond chasing at Checkpoint Charlie? What crazy idea led to the Love Parade?

I won't bore you with numbers and dates you'll forget in three-quarters of a second. I'd much rather tell fascinating stories and astonishing anecdotes (WARNING: There'll be some laughter!) about Berlin and Germany , past and present.

We will find a good-natured atmosphere in a small group size.

Your interests will help shape what I tell you, making your city tour the most enjoyable possible. We'll visit must-see places and discover perspectives no one else knows about.

Capital of an empire, a democracy, two dictatorships, disjointed and reunited – on our insider tour you will learn what makes Berlin such a unique metropolis. And so much more.
