Really enjoyed this; Dan was a superb guide who led us across the city with music (by Bowie, of course, but also influences, collaborators, and others) playing from his portable speakers. We learnt about why Bowie came to Berlin, his cultural inspirations including Kurt Weill and Bertolt Brecht, and how “Heroes” sounds like it does… and loads more. We learnt things about the city that would be interesting to any one, Bowie fan or not. One of the best things, for us at least, was that Dan mentioned in passing a 100-year-old cinema, the Babylon, which still plays silent movies with a live orchestra - which was how we ended up seeing Fritz Lang’s Metropolis that Saturday night at that lovely old cinema with a superb live orchestra. Thanks Dan!!

Our guide Rachel arrived on time & was very personable,knowledgable & informative. She was happy to answer our many questions (even those not related to Bowie). Only 2 of us on the tour but Rachel covered all bases- for a general Bowie fan to an enthusiastic devotee & lead us confidently through Berlin streets & the transport system of trains & buses leading us to places we probably wouldn’t have found on our own.Sometimes there was even a soundtrack to add relevancy to the location & connection to Bowie. The time really flew by & at the end Rachel pointed us in the right direction to food & transport to get us back to the centre of Berlin. Would definitely recommend Rachel - thank you for a really enjoyable afternoon

My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed this tour. Our guide Dan was great to hang with and was very personable and did a fantastic job. It was great to see a lot of the landmarks and hear the stories behind Bowie’s time in Berlin. Highly recommend!

Dan Borden from Insight Cities (out of Seattle, WA) gave us a spectacular time-capsule of a whirlwind tour that culminated in the diverse neighborhood that became home to the starman from Brixton. The tour ended at the apartment that David Bowie made home of as a Berliner in 1977. Dan took us through the life that Bowie chose in this divided city (circa GDR) leaving the safe confines of the Hollywood Hills to live amongst the immigrant rich populations of inner city Berlin. David Bowie often rode his bike in 1977 to Hansa Studios while working on Low and hit-inspired tunes like “Heroes”. As a young father at 30 years of age, he was mesmerized by the city. Dan went into detail highlighting the many colorful visits that Bowie made in Berlin hobnobbing with Tilda Swinton and working with the likes of Iggy Pop (his friend and roommate at the time), Brian Eno and Tony Visconti…, etc. Dan Borden showcased a fascinating and exuberant time when creativity had no bounds set against the backdrop of a very creatively vibrant city. Highly recommended tour even if you were not such a huge Bowie fan! You soon will be.

Ronan organized a very well planned and well thought out route. He was very well researched in David Bowie's life whilst in Berlin

The David Bowie tour with Dan is an excellent way to discover everything Bowie about Berlin. Dan is a fountain of knowledge about Bowie and Berlin, and he imparts that knowledge in a very friendly witty manner. We couldn’t recommend this tour with Dan highly enough……. do it if you can, if you share any love for the thin white duke.

A really enjoyable tour. Lee has a wealth of knowledge of both Bowie and the history of Berlin. It did not matter if you knew a little or a lot, as Lee shared information in a comfortable and relaxed fashion. Since our return we have each recommended this tour.

A wonderful time with Dan. An interesting and informative tour. A must for any Bowie or music fan. Next time we are in Berlin will would love to do this tour again. Highly recommended. Thank you Dan for a memorable day. Love Tina & Fay xxx

Very informative and interesting. We enjoyed the illuminating and enlightening tour - packing a lot in the relatively short time we had.

A really informative tour that hit all the right notes! Wonderful insights into the art and culture that influenced the whole scene. Loved it!

Our guide dan, was the man! Great knowledge and nice delivery. Made us feel comfortable, while learning. We also got introduced to a new part of the city, that was full of exciting stories to be told. Would recommend!!!!

As a major David Bowie fan, it's been a “bucket list” dream to visit some of the meaningful sites of his life and career in Berlin. So, my expectations were sky-high, and yet they were far exceeded! Our guide, Dan, really made the experience for us. He was incredibly knowledgeable, engaging, and an all-‘round great person to spend the afternoon with. Dan incorporated music and visuals to add context to the sites we saw in such a creative and memorable way. The small group format worked particularly well for this style of tour. Even as someone who arrived knowing quite a lot about Bowie, I still learned a ton of fascinating new information. Look no further if you, too, love Bowie - this is the tour for you!

Very nice David Bowie tour with interesting facts about Berlin alongside Bowie News of the past. Guide with top skills 😎

We very much enjoyed the tour which was both fun and informative. Dan’s knowledge of Berlin helped bring to life Bowie’s time in the city. Thanks Dan, it was great to meet you.

Justin was great. He showed us a broad range of art galleries as well as a tour of the highlights at the New museum. We throughly enjoyed the experience.
