Tour worth seeing - Jeff's tour was entertaining, informative and very interesting. During his tour, he told us about the genesis of the Kinky Clubs in Berlin and repeatedly accompanied this information with clips from documentaries. In between there were always quizzes to get us involved again and again. This made the tour very entertaining. Visits to the Artrium and Insomnia with insights "behind the scenes" rounded off this tour! Jeff is a very sympathetic guide who designed the tour great! Thanks again to you Jeff!

A Fascinating and Insightful Look Into Berlin’s Kink Scene! - The tour was amazing! It was not only fun but also informative. Jeff, our guide, was fantastic—his deep knowledge of Berlin’s kinky nightlife and history made the experience both engaging and educational. I really appreciated how the tour covered everything from the history of Berlin’s sex-positive culture to the etiquette and atmosphere of its most famous clubs. The exclusive access to Atrium and Insomnia Club was a highlight—it was great to explore these spaces in a relaxed setting without the usual nighttime crowds. Jeff created a welcoming and open environment, making sure everyone felt comfortable asking questions. Highly recommend!

TAKE THIS TOUR. So good! - Absolutely fantastic tour! This was a great way to learn more about how Germany’s body politics and nightlife culture are a direct result of international politicking and war history in general. Jeff is extremely knowledgeable and, not only combined such an important set of factors in the production of Berlin’s openness, but the tour provides exclusive access to venues and people you might not otherwise get the chance to engage in conversation. I went solo and absolutely loved this tour!

A Unique and Insightful Dive into Berlin’s Legendary Club Scene - Here’s a polished Viator review based on your feedback: Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐☆ (4/5) This was a fascinating and well-curated tour led by Jeff, who provided engaging and insightful content about Berlin’s club scene, its historical evolution, and the unique factors that shaped it. His knowledge and presentation style made the experience both informative and entertaining. The meeting point was easy to find, though on cooler days, a warmer starting location (perhaps a bar) might be more comfortable—even if it means forgoing an outside view of Berghain. The visits to Atrium and Insomnia were a privilege, and while we couldn’t take advantage of the guest list entry at Insomnia this time, we’d love to on another occasion. Overall, this was a unique, fun, and eye-opening tour that we’d highly recommend to anyone interested in Berlin’s nightlife and its cultural significance.
