It is our duty, both as queer folks and as allies, to keep alive the memory of those who came before us and paved the way for what the community is like today. And Jeff does exactly that, by introducing us to the hidden gems of queer life here, in Berlin. We were extremely impressed by his knowledge, and it was obvious how much research he put into making this tour as authentic and informative as possible. The tour was extremely well structured, seeing that he was so passionate about the subject, and there were also quiz questions included, which made the experience even more immersing. Overall, we highly recommend this tour to anyone interested in the queer and trans history of Berlin, as we trust Jeff in making your experience here as enjoyable as he did with us.

The tour guide was excessively friendly, knowledgeable and respectful to all the participants. He tried to engage with everyone in a very friendly manner, creating a sense of togetherness. The information he presented was done so in a very informative and engaging way, ranging from heavy topics to discussion of fun party places of the past and present. Recommended to both the queer community & the people outside of it who would like to raise their awareness of the overall human history about the thematics!

This was an amazingly informative tour of the history of queer and trans Berlin! Jeff is so knowledge and kind, and I really appreciated the few hours spent with them and others learning alongside me. This is a walking intensive tour but Jeff was understanding and found places for us to sit down, and stop for bathroom or water breaks. The AR/tablet component was interesting as well. I recommend this to anyone visiting Berlin!
