Berlin may rightly be called the birthplace of today’s LGBTQ+ movements. Karl Heinrich Ulrichs, pioneer of the modern Gay Rights Movement, distributed his essays on male-male love as early as 1862. He cleared the path for the world’s first gay magazine, Der Eigene (The Self-Owning), which came out of Berlin in 1897. No wonder that, by the 1920s, a liberal attitude made interwar Weimar Berlin an international magnet for creative individuals, including W.H. Auden and Christopher Isherwood, who authored the novel, Goodbye to Berlin (on which the musical Cabaret is based). In such an dynamic atmosphere, the Institute for Sexual Science was founded by Magnus Hirschfeld, who initiated the first campaign to abolish the legal persecution of homosexuals. This 3-house tour takes you to sites that illuminate Berlin’s many queer trailblazers, while you stroll through Schöneberg, discovering the world’s first gay ghetto.

Visiting the site of the former Sachsenhausen Concentration Camp is a very emotional day tour. The camp had a major significance for SS Terror during the Nazi rule and allows us to understand how the persecution of victims escalated from the Nazi seizure of power through the war and until the very end. Our guides are certified by the Memorial Authorities and are all academics. They will guide you through this complex site and will help you understand the SS system of Terror as it unfolded.

Arriving by train from Berlin you will discover the wretched history of the Sachsenhausen Concentration Camp on this impactful guided tour. Just outside Berlin, this site bears witness to the atrocities of the Third Reich. Our knowledgeable guides will lead you through key areas of the camp, including the notorious gatehouse and the barracks, sharing insights into the camp's establishment in 1936, its role in the Nazi regime, and the diverse prisoner populations it held. You'll learn about the harrowing experiences of those imprisoned here, their resilience, and the camp's post-WWII history under Soviet control. The tour also focuses on the memorialization efforts at Sachsenhausen, offering a reflective look at how the site has been transformed into a place of remembrance. Visit various national memorials and exhibitions within the complex, each honoring the victims from different backgrounds. Join us for this deeply moving experience at one of history's most significant sites.

Large museums have between 500 and 3,000 items in their permanent collection. The Louvre has 35,000, and the Bode Museum has thousands of sculptures. You could dash through the Louvre in 9 minutes and break the record set by the characters in Bertolucci’s film "The Dreamers", or you could, like the average visitor, spend a full 8 seconds on each piece. But I propose something else: I’ll explain where and how to look so that the art truly reveals itself to you. I’m not a tour guide with a microphone; I’m an artist, a curator, and someone who has spent years not only studying art but also teaching a wide variety of audiences. I won’t teach you to “see correctly,” but I’ll tell you how to look so that you can learn, be inspired, and discover what matters to you. Berlin is remarkable in that here, in one day, you can journey from Romanticism to Post-Conceptualism and physically sense how the understanding of what art is has changed from Rembrandt to Bruce Nauman.
