Walking tours exploring Berlin’s history through storytelling

EVERY TOUR TELLS A STORY

Our guides turn Berlin’s past into vivid, living narratives — tales of people, ideas, and moments that shaped the city.

HIDDEN STREETS, FAMILIAR PLACES, NEW MEANINGS

From tucked-away courtyards to grand boulevards, we go beyond the surface to reveal what history left behind.

PERSONAL TOURS, PASSIONATE GUIDES

Experience Berlin in small groups with storytellers who care deeply about the city and the stories they tell.

Reviews

I’ve been on almost five of their tours so far and each one gave me insights about Berlin’s history that I never would have found on another typical tour.

I’m not one for big tour groups, or for going to ‘touristy’ destinations. This suited me perfectly.
