This being my second time in Berlin, I wanted to learn more about Berlin beyond its well-known attractions. I took my chances with Sebastian and I was pleasantly surprised. Sebastian showed me around the neighbourhood of Prenzlauer Berg, and explained in detail the significance of each area. In the process, I learned a lot about the Berliner culture and also that of Europe. If you're looking to learn more about the real Berlin, I highly recommend Sebastian's tour.

Description

This tour involves exploring Prenzlauer Berg on foot, but we can venture into neighbouring areas if biking is more your thing.

It’s a hobby of mine to regularly explore the area I live in. I love sharing my insights and favourite places in Berlin! I also prefer quality cuisine over fast food and the usual snacks, and am more into calm places of urban Zen.

As an enthusiastic cyclist I can take you on a nice bike ride (summer only) to the north of Berlin, which touches the Brandenburg border. It’s super easy to escape the big city – in less than an hour one can be surrounded by lakes, green fields, wildlife and blossoming apple trees.

Ideally the tour will include a nice walk as well as some sightseeing off the beaten track, with stops at a couple of great cafés, bistros or restaurants, depending on your taste. If you're more into outdoor activities, we can just go for a longer bike ride. You can rent bikes in the area easily.

I tend to keep group sizes as small a possible for the convenience of everyone. After all, it’s meant to be a personalised experience.

***Please contact me to request a specific date and time! Longer tours are possible (€10 per person per hour). ***

Thanks to Sebastian I had a great tour in Berlin. Prenzlauer Berg is such a lovely part of this exciting city. I really enjoyed the stories and comments of my guide. I’ll come back and I’m sure Sebastian will find other corners to show me around.
A great way to experience Prenzlauer Berg!
Sebastian was great with communication, and went above and beyond with answering questions and providing tips even before and after the tour. We had been to Berlin before and taken a tour of Prenzlauer Berg already, yet he showed us places we had never been before. He showed us places we would have never found on our own too. This tour really is a chance to explore through the eyes of a local, and do things only a local would know to do. He gave great explanations, and we learned from this tour. Highly recommend this tour with Sebastian!
