Guided, individual tours by bike, on foot or by public transport in Berlin and the surrounding area

Finally in Berlin. Now all you need is someone to show you around the city. You've already found him:

BuenaVista Guide Berlin - your expert for individual city tours in Berlin.
Sustainable, individual, spontaneous, completely different.
Nature - City - Tours 

I'm an early riser. At dawn, I tend to the organic vegetables in my city garden project. Then I quickly head out into the open fields. Are all the birds there yet? A glance through the binoculars proves it: stonechat, whitethroat and wryneck. Blackbirds, thrushes, finches and starlings anyway. When you've finished breakfast, I'll be ready to go.

How about a guided bike tour along the Berlin Wall?
I remember them from the days of the Cold War. Visiting the divided city as a teenager from the Lower Rhine in the 1980s. Over to Alexanderplatz. A day trip to visit family from the East.

Have you had enough of the wall stories after an hour? No problem, you decide!
Shopping on Kudamm, city park in Tiergarten, street art in Friedrichshain, beer garden in Kreuzberg or currywurst in Prenzlauer Berg? We'll spontaneously change the subject during your Berlin tour. Because I know my way around. I know where to go. I've lived in Berlin for more than thirty years.

And if you want something completely different?
A coach for the choir's excursion, an expert in modern art, a shuttle service for your event? I've been in the business for over twenty years. It's called "networking" these days. I know someone who knows someone who knows someone ...Here we go

Possible tours

Now there are a few suggestions for possible tours. Some are only suitable for cycling, some can be done either by bike or on foot. Most can be done all year round, some are better suited to spring and summer. You should plan at least 3 hours for your tour. The costs are currently from 85 euros per hour. I look forward to your inquiry.

Info

I have been a Berliner from the Lower Rhine for over 30 years. For over 25 years I have been showing international guests the city of Berlin and their surroundings. I have been involved in an eco urban garden project for more than 10 years.

In addition to German, I speak English, Spanish and Dutch. I love cycling through the city. I always have binoculars with me and a “bird identificationsapp” included.

Jochen is a tour guide who does his job really well - not just provides jokes and trivia-showmanship that I've seen too many times before. We had a wonderful bird-watching trip and got some tips on what to do afterward as well :) All of us immediately started thinking about other trips we could have with Jochen and we will definitely book tours with him again!

We had a wonderful full day tour! Jochen had a complete understanding of the history of Berlin and could provide context for the sequence of events. Not only did we see all the sights, but we have a better understanding of the city and its people over the past 100 years.

I enjoyed my 3 hour tour of Berlin with Jochen. He was open to revising the tour stops if his suggestions didn't include what I was hoping to see. He had a very efficient system to allow easy drop offs and pick ups at various places, allowing us the full 3 hours to actually see the sights. He was quite informative and thoughtful and I would definitely recommend booking a tour with him.

Jochen was fantastic, very knowledgeable, with a wealth of information. He obviously loves his city but sees it for its true history as well. Very energetic, and would recommend him to everyone.
