I'm Natalie - originally from Australia, I've chosen to make Berlin my home because I can't get enough of the history!
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, maybe even love, for the city!
