Small group. Good atmosphere. Very interesting tour through Kreuzberg. Many stories that we did not know yet. Summer evening in Berlin together with Silvana, a great experience even for locals.

Itinerary
We start our tour at “Kotti”, one of the central places in Kreuzberg. In a short introduction, our guide will give you an overview of Kreuzberg’s history, life and culture. Kreuzberg was founded as a typical working class neighbourhood in the middle of the 19th century. The people lived in huge building complexes, some of them in the fifth or sixth backyard. We discover these places at Oranienstraße and try to imagine life back in the days, when it was almost impossible to breathe fresh air; when many people didn’t rent a whole flat or a room, but an 8 hours-stay on a mattress. Obviously, most people of the working class had a (radical) left-wing views. So Kreuzberg logically turned into a critical neighbourhood with constant demonstrations – escalations included. Our guide will tell you about “The mother of all street fights” and we visit the SO 36, a legendary music club, where anarchistic Punk and New Wave bands excited the audience in the 1970’s and 80’s and provoked the government and police. We discover “Görli Park” – the “Central Park” of Kreuzberg. And we get to know Berlin’s Jack the Ripper! After two hours, you will see Kreuzberg from a different point of view. Before we say Good bye, we have a typical Berliner Schnaps together. Now you are prepared to start your next adventure in Kreuzberg with its famous nightlife – or if you prefer to relax after this exploratory city-tour.

I've been a Berliner myself for 34 years. But I booked the tour for my cousin and his wife from the Rhineland to show them the less glamorous corners in Berlin. We were thrilled by the lively remarks of Sammy. And I, as a Berliner, also learned something more...
It is an interesting walk through Berlin Kreuzberg with anecdotes and background knowledge from our tour guide Sammy. We enjoyed it.
Very informative tour with a very sympathetic quay. Alone, we wouldn't have dared to go there in the evening.
A great tour guide with interesting information about the history and a great route through Kreuzberg.
A two-hour informative insight into what makes Kreuzberg tick - led by a very expert guide. Not foolish, not raced - a good pace
"Great tour of Kreuzberg! Our guide Sammy is very sympathetic and gave exciting insights into the history and life in the neighbourhood. Lots of cool corners discovered that you would have missed on your own. Highly recommended!"
Unfortunately, we waited half an hour for the tour guide. No one came and we could go home unfinished business. we were very disappointed , angry, fucked and horrified and are desperately expecting our money back! We had two Berlin visitors who were very excited. BR-1107371121, ri117042 viator
Informativ, kurzweilig gestaltet vom sympathischen Führer. Irgendwas fehlte - hab gerade nachgelesen: Nix typisch Berliner Schnaps.
Sehr informativ kann ich wirklich sehr empfehlen. Der Guide war super nett und man lernt Berlin mal von einer anderen Seite kennen.. 👍
The evening tour of Kreuzberg with our guide Sammy was super fun and was incredibly interesting. The atmosphere was very relaxed and it seemed like walking with a friend and learning a lot of information and stories about the neighborhood. We talked well in between, were also able to ask questions not only about Kreuzberg and exchange ideas with each other. Absolute Recommendation and always back!
Super informative und kurzweilige Tour durch das Herz von Kreuzberg. Sammy hatte viele interessante Geschichten aus der jüngeren und älteren Vergangenheit parat, die zwei Stunden waren viel zu schnell vorbei.
Dank des sehr informierten und engagierten Tourguides Sammy haben wir viele wertvolle und interessante Einblicke in und über Kreuzberg erhalten. Das Kreuzberg so reich an politischen, geschichtlichen sowie zeitgenössischen Umbrüchen und Geschehnissen ist, lässt den Kiez in einem anderen Licht erscheinen. Es hat sehr viel Spaß gemacht all das zu entdecken und empfehlen jeder/jedem diese Tour.
We had a very entertaining tour with Thomas. We were a small group and had a good exchange about our experiences of Berlin. Once you have seen the main sights, a tour like this is a good addition
Super pleasant tour with lots of information! Relaxed atmosphere in a small group, exciting exchange with everyone, simply a great evening with our guide Thomas, who really brought Kreuzberg closer to us. Thank you very much!
Der Guide hat ein sehr fundiertes Wissen von Kreuzberg (und Berlin allgemein) und seiner Geschichte und erzählt auf eine spannende und humorvolle Art.
Matti led a wonderful tour. He shared a lot of detailed information about Kreuzberg that you wouldn't normally know. Highly recommended
Very interesting tour! You learn a lot about the people, life and history of Kreuzberg. The guide was very nice and relaxed and had a lot of knowledge. I'd love to do it again!
Very entertaining, never boring, much learned. The way Berlin is. Very nice city guide. Thank you so much!
The evening tour with Sammy was great and a lot of fun. There was a lot of additional information in nice conversations in between. Gladly again
Samy did a great job and brought us closer to the lively neighborhood. Would book again.
We learned interesting unexpected information about the past and current (social) situation in the neighborhood. Lovely guide!!
Tobi spoke with a lot of love and enthusiasm about the Kreuzberg district. The guide is highly recommended.
The evening tour was great. We were lucky enough and were a small group of 6 people, plus Thomas, our guide. He had super interesting inside knowledge. You could ask him any question. Great!!!
We had a great evening on this tour of Kreuzberg! Our guide made the evening very varied and also had the perfect restaurant tip for us. The group was very small, so there was always room for questions and we could follow his stories well.
A very entertaining, entertaining and informative tour! Mathi, our guide, was a real cracker - super informed, dedicated and good spirits!
