Overview

I'm Natalie - originally from Australia, I've chosen to make Berlin my home because I love history!

This tour is designed for first-time visitors who want to understand Berlin, not just photograph it. Over 2.5 hours we walk through the landmarks that defined the 20th century and connect them into a single story that helps the city make sense.

If you choose to join me to discover Berlin, you should know that none of my tours are scripted. It's more of a conversation, shaped around what you're curious about.

There is so much more to Berlin than meets the eye, so let's start with the highlights, dive into the history and I guarantee you'll come away from this tour with a deeper appreciation for the city!
