Dear traveller, my name is Lee - nice to e-meet you! Born in Moscow and raised partly there and partly in Munich, I developed an early fascination for the contrasts between cultures, historical perspectives, and political and social systems.
My background is in social psychology; in my tours, I focus on the interrelations between history and the present, the individual and society, and urban planning and everyday life.
I have lived in Berlin since 2004 and was involved in event management for the city's diverse subcultures from an early age. Berlin's alternative scene is still one of my many homes.
I love exploring Berlin's history in the context of changing eras and discovering the city's hidden treasures. Since 2022, I focus on Berlin city tours - mainly food tours, history tours and “off the beaten track” walks through Kreuzberg, Mitte and Friedrichshain.
After several stays abroad (including in West Africa, Marseille, Poland and Barcelona), I seized an opportunity to lead tours through Scandinavia, Poland, and the Benelux countries. I completed training as a certified study tour guide at the Vienna Tour Guide Academy.
And, after all these journeys, I still find Berlin the most interesting place in the world, and my mission as a tour guide is to show you the reasons. I am looking forward to pass my fascination with Berlin on to you!
