Merren is an Aussie larrikin who has been living in Berlin since 2013. Having German grandparents, she wanted to get to know more about her heritage and was attracted to the vivacious, edgy, unassuming nature of the capital. She’s always up for a beer and is guaranteed to give you a stirring rendition of the Hof at the Brandenburg Gate.
“I think you’d be hard-pressed to find another city in the world with so many layers of history all meshed together and intertwined than right here in Berlin. Becoming a tour guide has been an incredibly rewarding way to connect with the history of Germany, and a great way to meet people from all over the globe!”
Kevin is not only an accomplished tour guide, but during the off-season is heavily involved in a number of projects as part of Berlin’s world-class film festival, the Berlinale. A man of many talents, he also works as an ice-skating and hockey coach, a mentor for asylum seekers and refugees, and makes time to be a puppy-daddy to his beloved Luba.
“I fell in love with the sense of spontaneity, creativity, and possibility that pervades Berlin when I arrived in 2004, particularly the DIY urban oasis of Kreuzberg where community projects in public space were plentiful, rent was negligible, and any excuse to dance along the post-militarized riverfront was golden.”
Christin is an original Berlinerin, a rare and beautiful breed these days. She studied Art History and Anthropology and now spends her days leading Segway tours around her home city. She’s tried to escape a couple of times to the likes of Dublin and London, but always feels that insatiable pull back to Berlin.
“I love Berlin because of the people. It has become so multicultural and I adore watching the change and being part of it. I like to emphasize this on my tours as it’s important to not only give a detailed historical story of Berlin, but to also explain the changes and new influences I’ve seen take effect.”
