About me

Hi, I’m Maggie — your Berlin storyteller.For over twenty years I’ve called this city home, and I still get goosebumps when I walk past its landmarks. Berlin has been a stage for empires, dictatorships, and revolutions — but also for resilience, reinvention, and joy.On my tours, you won’t just get dates and names. You’ll hear stories that bring the Brandenburg Gate, the Reichstag, and even quiet side streets to life. Guests often say they leave not just with a better understanding of history, but with images, laughter, and moments that stay with them long after.Whether you’re here for the first time or returning to dive deeper, my goal is simple: to help you experience Berlin — its history, its spirit, and maybe even the spark that made me fall in love with it in the first place.

Sachsenhausen

Duration: 4 - 6 hours (including travel)
Transport: Train/hired car + walkingUnlike my other tours, this is not a fun day — but an important one. Located about an hour outside the capital, Sachsenhausen was not only a concentration camp but also the headquarters of the entire Nazi camp system.We’ll travel by regional train, or — if you prefer additional comfort and flexibility — I can help arrange a private driver. This visit provides a sobering, essential perspective on the realities of Nazi rule and the resilience of those who endured it.
