✨ Meet J.R., one of ‘s star guides!

For the past 2 seasons, Joerg Rupert Schoepfel—fondly known as J.R.—has been sharing Berlin’s stories with unmatched passion and a sprinkle of humor. (Fun fact: his kids call him the “Master of Dad Jokes“ and honestly, we see why!)

But J.R. isn’t just about jokes—he’s about moments that stay with you. One memory he treasures is meeting the grandson of a Sachsenhausen Concentration Camp survivor from Denmark. It was a powerful reminder of why telling Berlin’s history matters so deeply.

When it comes to Berlin’s hidden gems, J.R. loves introducing his groups to traces of a socialist vision that never quite succeeded. It’s one of those lesser-known sides of Berlin that sparks curiosity and conversation.

And his take on Berlin? “It’s what you make of it—it can be cosmopolitan, diverse and sexy, but also rough, mean, and totally unapologetic.”

Swipe to see J.R.’s 30-year throwback at Potsdamer Platz—then (1993) vs. now (2024).

Yesterday we bade farewell to our friend and former colleague, Nigel Dunkley RIP. A veteran, acclaimed military historian and tour guide extraordinaire. Nigel was a much loved colleague at Insider Tour and for decades he was the gold standard for tour guides in Berlin. His great humour, quick wit and sense of fun were only surpassed by his compassion, empathy and generosity of spirit. In all his retelling of great tactics, cunning maneuvers, winning strategies and daring heroics he always highlighted the cruel fate of all innocent victims.
If there are tours of heaven, he'll be leading them!

Berlin’s S-Bahn is more than just a way to get around—it’s a journey through the city’s history and culture. 💭 Fun fact: The Berlin S-Bahn’s iconic yellow trains weren’t always yellow! Originally, they were painted in a deep wine-red color, and it wasn’t until the 1980s that they got their now-famous sunny hue. ☀️

From soaring above the Spree River to gliding past iconic landmarks, these trains have been connecting Berliners and visitors for over a century. Whether you’re catching views of the Brandenburg Gate or heading to a hidden gem, there’s always something to discover just outside the window. ✨
