City of Subcultures

We’ll meet up in the middle of Kreuzberg. I’ll explain why Berlin is such a fertile place for alternative projects and how its counter and sub-cultures have shaped the city. Then we’ll hop on our bikes and take to the cycle lanes, touring Berlin’s alternative sights - its collective projects and unconventional nightclubs, its parks, empty lots and street art. Our bikes don’t have big “Bike Rental” signs, so we can explore the city discreetly. Berlin is a cycle-paradise and we’ll ride slowly, so you don’t need to be super fit. We’ll see the home of the self-sufficient, off-grid Turkish-Berliner who lives in the middle of the city in a house he’s built himself, visit a hospital that became a squat that became an arts centre, then drop by a small farm run by a community of trailer-dwellers. Finally - our explorations over - we’ll return to the starting point, where I’ll give you some tips for the rest of your trip. If less then 2 people book this tour I will have to cancel and you'll be refunded. Other things to note I can offer my experience as a private tour. I can also offer this experience in different languages (French, German), or on different dates than the suggested ones, feel free to write me a message!

Berlin at Twilight / A Guided Photo Tour & Workshop

Everybody takes photos nowadays, especially while traveling. But there's a distinct difference between snapping a quick shot of a landmark and carefully crafting a photograph. The goal of this photowalk through the center of Berlin is to provide you with the basic photographic skill set to capture some of Berlin's most iconic landmarks in the best light. The blue hour is when a city is most photogenic. It's the time of day when natural and artificial light are equally bright and complement each other perfectly. Did you ever wonder how to capture those cool light-trails or how to get a shot of a famous landmark without any people in it? Well, I will happily share all of the tips and tricks I use myself to capture cityscapes during the blue hour. After providing an overview of the technical aspects of night and cityscape photography, we will dive right into it, apply what we've learned, and test it in the field. This way you will not only end up with some stunning shots for your social media, but also with the knowledge to make your next city trip a photographic success, too. Other things to note The only thing you'll need to bring is your own camera. In case you don't own a camera, please let me know in advance and I can lend you one. I can provide two tripods in case you don't have one or don't want to bring it. You should wear comfortable shoes since we will walk a bit ;).

History and alternative tracks

I am passionate about Berlin History, especially about the period during the Wall. I propose an original experience along the old No man's land to discover life in the East and West but also to understand the evolution and atmosphere of this city. Why is this capital so unique today and how did it happen? My anecdotes and knowledge are accompanied by archive photos that I am constantly looking for. We discover the history of many places, witnesses of the past, what they have become or what they will become. These are for example: old buildings, squats, factories, clubs, to new alternative places and lots of other surprises. I am very dynamic and smiling, my energy and my stories, will surely captivate you for 3h. I love to meet new people and spend time with them, I know how to adapt to my audience. The tour ends in a friendly way over a drink, in an authentic place that hosts one of the best restaurants in Berlin.
