Your Itinerary

Schoneberg

Explore the world's first gay ghetto, Schoneberg, a neighborhood that featured legendary lesbian bars, you'll see Christopher Isherwood's former flat and learn how his Weimar-era adventures inspired the musical Cabaret. Passing by nightclubs he frequented, we'll see a rent-boy dive that remains gay-run to this day. Outside the infamous El Dorado Cabaret, we'll learn of notable regulars like Ernst Rohm, the openly gay head of the Sturmabteilung (aka, the Nazi Brown Shirts). While discovering sites connected to the post-WWII rebirth of Schoneberg as the gay-heart of the city, we pay particular homage to the city's most iconic nightclub of the 70s, Chez Romy Haag.

Unter den Linden

On the historic boulevard Unter den Linden, you will meet early gay Berliners such as the Prussian King Frederick the great and explorer Alexander von Humboldt and find out how they disguised their sexuality.

Alexanderplatz

Travel to Alexanderplatz, the heart of Cold War East Berlin and hear about the suffering endured by gays and lesbians behind the Iron Curtain

A witty and personal tour of LGBTQ Berlin, interweaving the lives and frequented locales of figures like Christopher Isherwood, Marlene Dietrich, Magnus Hirschfeld, Jean Ross, David Bowie, Romy Haag and many others. In this personal tour, Amidst architectural gems, Dan shares his own anecdotes as a Berliner of over 20 years, infusing the tour with the sights, sounds, and cinematic references of the 1930’s-90’s. Highly recommended! I loved this tour and so enjoyed meeting everyone who joined as well.

i learned so much of Berlin that i didn‘t know before! Dan is a charming tourguide because he has a lot of knowledge of the history of gay berlin and also adds personal touches by telling personal stories. he gives interesting details without sounding like a teacher (the storys about bowie and marlene dietrich were my favorite part!) i also enjoyed that he added a soundtrack to the highlights of the tour by playing songs on his phone while taking us to the various places. the 3 hours flew by way too fast. i would highly recommend this tour.

I learned an incredible amount about Berlin's queer history: lots of surprising details and anecdotes. Our guide Dan was entertaining and humorous. His stories are accompanied by pictures and music. Highly recommended!

My sister and I had so much fun taking Dan’s musical tour yesterday. We got to see many parts of the city in a short period of time. Dan came to Berlin before the wall came down and his personal experience is just as interesting as the many fascinating stories he told us about the LGBTQ history of Berlin—his tour goes back centuries and includes several of the most famous people in the history of Germany! This is a thought provoking and entertaining way to learn about the cultural and political landscapes of Weimar and Imperial Germany, as well as Berlin during the Cold War and the holocaust. By far in the top three tours I have ever taken. Ask Dan for the soundtrack of the tour 🌈 🤩
