What To Expect

️‍ Discover over 100 years of queer and trans history on this immersive walking tour of Berlin, the birthplace of the modern LGBTQIA+ rights movement.

Long before Stonewall, Berlin was home to the world’s first queer activists, pioneering trans identities, and a thriving lesbian and gay nightlife scene. From early LGBTQIA+ rights movements to queer resistance under the Nazis, from underground cabarets to legendary clubs like Berghain, this tour uncovers the hidden history that shaped queer culture worldwide.

Led by a queer activist, social scientist, and certified sex educator, this one-of-a-kind guided experience brings history to life through 200+ historical photos, rare audio clips, videos, personal quotes, and interactive quiz questions. Plus, Augmented Reality (AR) Mixies allow you to take selfies with historic queer figures!

Perfect for: LGBTQIA+ travelers, history buffs, Berlin locals, and allies looking for an unforgettable experience.
