Hello! I'm Rafa, a historian and tour guide since 2013. I was previously a guide in Barcelona and Prague, but I've been living in Berlin for 4 years now. I love my job and I'm passionate about history, especially about this crazy city. With me you can expect an entertaining and complete tour, but without hiding the horrors of the country's history. Don't let me say it, you can see the recommendations of other tourists in the reviews 🙌🏻 I will make the city mean much more than a succession of grey monuments and empty recommendations. You will leave with more than just a tour, I give you a digital guide of personal recommendations, including books, movies and a map of Berlin to get the most out of it! If you want to follow my adventures, I recommend following me on social media @rafaberlintours

Tour description

Discover Berlin's dark and sad history with a guide with years of experience who will captivate you and bring the city to life!

Learn about Berlin's origins —the rise and fall of the Nazis, the subjugation of half the city to Moscow-controlled communism, and its liberation and unification just 30 years ago— through its most important monuments!

The walking tour covers a route steeped in history and interesting sites in 3.5 hours, including a break. It's the perfect way to get your bearings in Berlin and learn the highlights before exploring more specific topics. A MUST for newcomers!
Monuments to be visited:

Brandenburg Gate
Reichstag
Parisians Square
Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe
Hitler's Bunker Gardens
Ministry of the Luftwaffe
Topography of Terror
Berlin Wall
Checkpoint Charlie
Gendarmenmarkt

...and several more stops that I'd rather tell you about in person! ;)

You can rate my work at your discretion. I know I'm doing my job well, I'm confident, so you don't pay a cent until the very end of the tour!

In addition to all of the above, I'll be giving attendees my free recommendations for restaurants, bars, clubs, movies, books, TV shows, and tips for visiting Berlin, which I've been collecting for a long time!

You'll have a great time and learn a lot. Bring good shoes and a cup of coffee, and enjoy!

See you on the tour! ;)

Ps I appreciate the comments you send me! They help me a lot!
Ps 2 if anyone wants to sign up or want information about any of my other tours (Third Reich, Wall and Communism, Sachsenhausen Concentration Camp, Potsdam, etc... don't be afraid to ask! :)
