What to expect

Select a start time when booking your tour, then meet your personal guide at Berlin's Cafe Orange to begin this distinctly rock "n" roll tour. With just your group and your guide – who is a professor, doctoral students, historian, journalist, art critic, or published author – learn about musician David Bowie's long history with the city of Berlin.

Step back in time to the decadent 1970’s city that inspired Bowie’s classic Berlin Trilogy albums. Visit some of the clubs and cafes that Bowie frequented, follow his trail to the apartment building he shared with Iggy Pop, and see the legendary Hansa Studios, where Low and Heroes were recorded. The tour concludes after three hours of exploration, after which you'll have the option to have a drink at a local cafe with your group and your guide (at your own expense).
