Private Tours in Berlin
http://www.afriendinmunich.de"
Do you wish you knew somebody in Berlin who could help you decide where to stay and what to see? Whether you travel alone, with family, or in a group, I will help you plan your trip and show you around once you get here: On foot, by car, or by bus. Get the support you would get from a friend or relative! I'll also suggest restaurants and help purchase concert tickets.
My name is Jo Eckardt.
I lived in New York for 19 years teaching German at NYU and working for the UN. In 2001 I returned to Berlin. Even though I still miss New York, I don't regret the move. Berlin is a great place and I'd love to show it to you!
What's new
More Languages: In addition to Spanish, French and Italian tours, I now also offer tours in Hebrew, Portuguese, Thai and Chinese!
Movies to watch: Before coming to Berlin, consider watching the following movies: Valkyrie, Life of others, The Downfall, The Good German, The Forgers. All these movies take place in and around Berlin and I could show you where they were shot.
Concerts: When in Berlin, check out the free Philharmonie lunch concerts every Tuesday!
Last November, Germany celebrated the 20th anniversary of the Fall of the Berlin Wall. Try a virtual walk along the Wall at: http://www.twinity.com/en/wall
Tipping: Here is an interesting article about tipping in restaurants: http://www.thelocal.de/society/20090527-19531.html
The New Museum is now open! It is unbelievable! You will love the architecture and the collection inside. But it is usually sold out days in advance. So if you are planning to visit it, let me know and I will get tickets for you. If you are booking a cruise excursion with me, let me know that you want to see it and I will make plans accordingly.
Boat tours through Berlin: You may not know this, but Berlin has more water ways, canals, rivers, and lakes, then almost any other city in the world. A tour in a small private motor boat will be the highlight of your stay!
