Are you a professional guide?

Yes, I am NOT touring for a hobby. I am a tour-guide since 1985 and it is a full-time job for me. I am professional and licenced member of the Berlin Guide Association and the German Guide Association. My husband Eckart joined me touring a few years ago and is also a member of my/our congregation.

What kind of tours do you provide?

I either do walking-tours in the center of historic east Berlin as well as tours by van (the town is very huge and sightseeing points are spread out, so I suggest to do tours by car, you will miss many important jewish sites by doing only a walking tour!). You can also rent my husband Eckart as a driverguide. He can show you many sites with his van and his knowledge of jewish history is well.

Do you arrange groups, so it would be cheaper for me?

Sorry, I don't arrange strangers into one group. If you want to lower the price per person, you have to ask someone on your own to join your tour. The cheapest tours we can offer are Eckart's driverguide-tours for 60€ per hour.

Why is there a different price for cruise-liners?

Because we have to reserve the whole day for clients, who come with ship-transportation from Warnemünde-Port to Berlin, we make use of the special price of 500 €. Most often we don't know the exact you arrive in Berlin, so we have to wait for you. Same for departure. It is more than fair to calculate on more than 6 hours.

In which languages do you guide?

I speak and guide fluently in German, English and Spanish. My husband speaks very well English and of course German.

Are you Jewish?

Yes, both of us are Jewish. Many of our clients think it is easier to be guided by a Jewish guide in Germany. And we agree. Feel free to ask us all the questions you have.

How many people can be on your tours?

With my van I can provide six passengers, the van has a microfone, so anyone can hear me. It also has tinted windows and aircondition and, of course, a driver. If you want to be guided by Eckart as a driverguide, he is able to tour 7 passengers.

Why don't you drive on your own, do we need a driver?

I can work more professional with a driver: I don't have to concentrate to the traffic and it possible to get off the car whenever I want: There are a lot of sightseeing points, where I want to show you the genuine location, and without a driver we have to park there, which is often not possible. With a driver it is no problem, he picks us up where we need it. The tour is much better this way. I concentrate on your needs and your questions. More safety, more informativ and more comfortable. Of course I use only licenced and fully insured cars and drivers with a permission to transport people.

Are entrance fees and TIP included in your rates?

No, in my rates only included is the 19% VAT, which I have to deduct to the tax-office immediately. Any entrance fees for museums, palaces etc. you have to pay on your own. Any TIPs for service, drivers etc. are also not included. You don't have to TIP anyone, but if you are satisfied with the service it is common to TIP about 10%.
