We’re a non-profit collective of the best tour guides in Berlin.

Our love for Berlin and our interest in its history brings us together. Being a guide is not only our livelihood, but our passion.

In 2014, we got frustrated tour guides in Berlin weren’t being taken seriously.

So we brought together the best guides in the city, shared our best practices and committed to improving our craft and promoting each other’s work.

This is the
Berlin Guides Association.

Help each other grow.

We created this platform for individual members to book tours directly with guests (that’s you!). We are strictly non-profit, so all inquiries made are private and the payment is kept completely by the guide.

We also strive to boost members’ business with excellent content — check out blog and social pages!

Hold our members to the highest standards.

We share the common goal of giving guests the best experience in Berlin – that means private tours full of facts, stories and anecdotes with a friendly and experienced guide.

Build a community of support and knowledge.

We are individual freelancers, but through BBS, we’re also members of a valued community.

We hold monthly educational sessions, we have a social group to stay in touch, and we meet up frequently to share with each other.
