I’ve been living in Berlin for over 15 years and absolutely love the city’s rich history, unique vibe, and hidden gems. I’m passionate about sharing Berlin’s stories, from its iconic landmarks to its local secrets. Guiding is a way for me to connect with people and help them experience Berlin in a personal and memorable way.

Tour description

Join me on Berlin's most fascinating introductory walk!

In just over two hours, we'll trample the city's scars and relive the atmosphere of the last 150 years, in the city where history played out that still affects us today: 19th-century Berlin, which led the social transformation during the Second Industrial Revolution; Expressionist Berlin and the Roaring Twenties between the two World Wars; Berlin divided by the Cold War and the Wall.

Today, the city stands as a model and guide for Europe and all modern metropolises. Amid urban planning challenges and the burdensome memories it faces, Berlin is more vibrant and innovative than ever. We'll also have the opportunity to discuss how it faces the challenges of the future.

I'll also give you all the tips you need to enjoy your stay, based on my 15+ years here: monuments, museums, murals, clubs, restaurants, beer, markets...

Book now! The tour is limited to 8 adults!

Please note: if there isn't room for one or two people, please message me privately. If you're with a large group, please ask if I'm available for a private tour.

Highlights

What will we see on this tour?

Meeting point:

Bundestag, 10557 Berlin, Germany

Meet 10 minutes before the event at the exit of the Bundestag station, subway line U5, on the corner of Konrad-Adenauer-Straße and Paul-Löbe-Allee (basically in front of the Reichstag). I always wear a blue badge with the words "GuruWalk" written on it. - Ismaele

Outside visit

Reichstag/Bundestag (Berlin)

An iconic building with a dramatic history, yet chosen as the place of German unity and as a symbol of modern democracy.

Outside visit

Marie-Elisabeth-Lüders-Haus

Named after a pioneer of women’s rights, this building is part of the modern parliamentary complex, symbolizing transparency and Germany’s democratic progress.

Outside visit

Wall of Solidarity

This understated but powerful monument honors the workers' movements and their fight for freedom and social justice. It’s a reminder that solidarity has shaped Berlin’s identity just as much as politics and war.
