Tours that work for the whole family

Before becoming an architect and then tour guide, I spent years teaching performing arts to children aged 4 to 16. I know how to keep kids engaged, and how to make complicated history feel exciting rather than overwhelming.

These tours are designed so that children and adults experience Berlin together. Every tour is private, so I tailor the stories, activities, and pace to your family on the day. Whether you’re 8 or 80, I try to make my tours as fun and engaging as possible!

Who is this tour for, and what’s it like?

These tours are designed for families who want to explore Berlin together. Whether your children are 4 or 14, the pace, stories, and activities adjust to them, not the other way around.

I spent years teaching performing arts to children before becoming a guide, so I know how to keep kids genuinely engaged rather than just tolerating the tour. Expect plenty of questions, and moments where the kids are more interested than the adults. And if someone needs a snack break, a rest, or a moment to regroup, that’s completely fine. We go at your family’s pace. That means no rushing, no strangers, no one-size-fits-all commentary.

This is ideal for:

Families visiting Berlin for the first time
Parents who want their children to actually understand what they’re seeing
Mixed-age groups including grandparents
Families who’ve tried group tours and found them too slow, too fast, or too adult-focused

Probably not the right fit for:

Children under 7 for the Treasure Hunt (there is a bit of reading involved!)
Families looking for a fully self-guided experience

We have a particular interest in modernist architecture and she was prepared to show us many interesting examples in Berlin and also explain the history in this fascinating city. Thanks you, Natalie!!

She was kind and patient with our littles and the amount of knowledge she has is very impressive. Would definitely recommend her to others and partake in her other tours should we ever return.

Informative, fun chats and genuinely passionate about architecture and history. If do not do a tour with her, you would be missing out.

He even suggested where to get the best Doner in Berlin, again…. wasn’t disappointed!

Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. You have to do this. Not only do you learn about the city and its architecture, but it also doubles as a (minor) history of the city, and of Germany as a whole. Natalie is amazing, both in her knowledge and her ability to communicate in a clear and entertaining way. She answered all of my questions and still kept the tour moving along and still fun. While the tour has a pre-planned route, Natalie asked me if there were any special buildings I would like to see/learn about, and gave me info on them as well! 12 out of 10, would recommend!

Verified Very impressed!
We had a private tour (a friend and me and the guide). The guide was really knowledgeable, flexible in terms of our knowledge and our wishes and gave us tons of information. She had also studied as an architect so was really knowledgeable about the many buildings of Berlin. The tour stated 2-3 hours and she stayed with us for 3 hours. She was also punctual and kept an excellent pace. We asked a lot of questions snd her knowledge of dates, timelines and historical facts was immense. What a lady! Thank you so much Natalie!! X

Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I was looking for someone to take my son through Berlin during my conference days, including pick-up and drop-off. Natalie kept steady contact and arranged 2 days for Filip; the program she prepared was tailored to his interests - it was great to see how much a 13-year old can absorb with a great guide. Thank you, once again, dear Natalie, and hope to enjoy your tours in the future again!

Verified 5 star tour guide!!
Natalie led two fantastic trips in Berlin for us: one focused on the architectural contrast between East and West Berlin, and the other on a walking history tour. Her exceptional knowledge of the city’s history and her warm and friendly demeanor made her an invaluable guide.

You won't be disappointed with Natalie
I am a travel advisor who organized a couple of trips for our group in addition to what was already on our agenda of seeing some of the Berlin museums which was the group's focus for the trip. As an advisor, you hope that you make a good pick. I can say without hesitation that Natalie was a home run.

Our group did two trips in Berlin with Natalie -- an East vs. West architecture and a walking history tour. Both were well done. Natalie's knowledge of the history was exceptional and she was extremely friendly. Everyone in the group was impressed with her and was happy to get bonus excursions on the trip.
