Join my detailed Jewish Tour and learn about the moving history of the Berlin Jewish community. I am one of the longest working and most experienced jewish Berlin guides. Already in 1987 I came to live in here as an Alumni of the Film and Television School In the Tel Aviv University. 20 years ago I started guiding and kept the personal touch while becoming highly professional about the Jewish History. I know every street and building in the jewish quarter and I have detailed historical and cultural knowledge for all of them and on top of that also many intricate stories about individuals that lived in Berlin.
Itinerary: Holocaust Memorial, Wilhelmstreet and the place where the bunker of Hitler was, Memorial to the Burning of the Books, the jewish quarter with the "New Synagoge", Deportation Memorial in the Grossen Hamburgerstrasse, the oldest Jewish Cemetery with Mendelssohn Memorial, Jewish High School, Rosenstarsse Memorial

Sharon guided us through Berlin Jewish life from the 1600's into early 20th century. She gave us insights into daily life which paralleled Jewish life in NYC. She was personable and patient, answering all questions deftly..WAt the conclusion, we coul easily understand the gradual transitions which had occurred.

The day we spent with Nirit was without question the highlight of our visit to Berlin. Our tour was a mix of the Jewish tour as well as Berlin both during and after the Berlin wall came down. Nirit's expertise on the history of Berlin was extraordinary. Nirit planned the day to make it more meaningful to us based on our personal connection to the historical events related to the holocaust. It was a pleasure to spend time with her. We are still in awe of her extensive knowledge of the history of Berlin. We highly recommend Nirit to guide you on your visit of Berlin. It will be clear to you why we found the day with her to be the highlight of our visit.

Nirit works for over 20 years as tour guide in Berlin and is probably the most experienced guide in the region. She guides her tours in German English and Hebrew with the deepest knowledge of both general and Jewish history of the city. Nirit's knowledge is overwhelming and she shares it in a very assertive but pleasant way.

My wife and I spent 6 nights in Berlin last October. We wanted to do both a “secular” private tour of Berlin and environs (including Potsdam), as well as a Jewish oriented private tour.
Another Berlin guide who we had used in the past but was unavailable on our dates highly recommended Nirit Ben-Joseph.
We could not have been more pleased with Nirit. She is very personable and knowledgeable, giving us her historian’s perspective. She also used her laptop computer to give us a history lesson on Germany, with maps, from its formation to present day.
Nirit drove us around in her own car.
We highly recommend Nirit.

Nirit’s tours are characterized by their unique tailor made attitude. If you have family roots in Europe, Nirit will make sure to find the available information and if they had presence in Germany or Berlin - she will track down their addresses, businesses, and any registered information. This is not your typical tourism tour - this is an intellectual tour that is often mixed with soft humor even when the historical tension is high. A must for any history fans!
