HI, I’M JAN!
Guiding for me is not just a job – it’s a calling. Let me share my Berlin with you!
My name is Jan. I’m a Bavarian citizen of the world. I come from a background in law/business and spent most of my working-life all over the world – from Argentina to Afghanistan with long stops in Italy, France and Spain. In an earlier life, I was an officer in the German Naval Infantry. I’m still practicing law, but my real passion is Berlin and its history. After seeing the world, I chose Berlin as my home.
WHY SHOULD YOU DO A TOUR WITH ME?
Berlin is more than a city. It’s a full-spectrum experience that belongs on everyone’s bucket list. Since you landed on my website, I guess you’re planning to take advantage of this opportunity. Good choice!
It took a long time for me to finally find my answers to the question “Why?”. Why Berlin is the vibrant city it is today, or why the Berlin wall went up and had to come down. I answer these and many more questions – but not always the way you might expect. There’s a lot more than meets the eye in my city, and I promise to both enlighten you with well-established history and surprise you with little-known nuggets of information that you won’t soon forget. Don’t expect canned answers on my tour. I do much of my own research to give you straight answers, unexpected connections and, if you don’t mind, a bit of irreverence.
