My name is Martin. I love telling exciting stories and giving my walkers a unique free tour in high spirits. 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 story teller. 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 Exciting Mix

How could a 3,000 m champion from East Germany cross the Wall? Who was James Bond chasing at Checkpoint Charlie? What crazy idea gave birth to the Love Parade?

I won't bore you with dates you'll forget in the blink of an eye. I prefer to tell fascinating stories and surprising anecdotes (WARNING: there will be some laughs!) about Berlin and Germany, past and present.

In small groups, we will find a pleasant atmosphere.

Your interests will influence what I tell you, making your city tour as enjoyable as possible. We will visit must-see places and discover perspectives that no one else knows.

Capital of an empire, a democracy, the GDR, the Nazi dictatorship, divided and reunified: on our privileged tour, you will discover why Berlin is a unique metropolis. And much more.
