Guides
Our guides are not just walking-tour staff. They are drag queens, performers and Berlin personalities — hosts of the Rainbow Quarter who bring queer history to life with humour, attitude and first-hand knowledge.
Margot Schlönzke
Charm, Berlin snark with heart and never at a loss for an anecdote. The Queen Mum of travesty was born in Berlin and has known the neighborhood inside out for decades. Embark on a KiezTour where you will hear first-hand accounts from contemporary witnesses.

Anna Klatsche
Young, tousled and always up to date. The DJane and presenter lives in the middle of Schöneberg's Regenbogen-Kiez and therefore always has the latest information at hand. A KiezTour with her will always be a unique experience that you will remember for a long time.

Victoria Bacon
She is living proof that sleep is overrated and glitter should count as a basic food group. Despite her young age, she is already a permanent fixture of Berlin’s nightlife. With infectious energy, sharp humor, and a queer heart, she turns every tour into a mix of party, performance, and delightful chaos — making her truly unforgettable.

Helen de Nore
She brings Canadian coolness straight to the streets of Berlin. As an experienced drag performer, she serves history with glamour, charm, and perfect timing — naturally bilingual and with an international flair. Her stage presence is so commanding that even the past pauses to listen. Elegant, sharp, and unmistakably unique.

Harpy
London’s club kid Harpy is currently tucked away in Mitte, but her heart truly blossoms in the Nollendorfkiez. Professionally trained as a dancer and comedian, she has already traveled across three continents. Does she, nonetheless, know the most exciting secrets of Berlin’s queer paradise? You bet she does!
To websiteWhy drag queens as guides?
Queer history lives off people, attitude and perspective. Drag amplifies that: it makes history more accessible, breaks the seriousness of an academic walking tour, and turns a four-hour walk into something you actually remember the next morning. Our guides know the stories not from a script, but because they perform on these streets, drink in these bars, and have walked through this neighbourhood for years.
Drag does not turn the tour into a comedy show. It turns it into a guided walk where seriousness and humour can sit next to each other — where the gay rights movement of the 1890s, the Eldorado of the 1920s, the violence of the 1930s and a Schöneberg drag bar of today are connected, not separate things.
Who guides which date depends on the schedule — and that's part of the experience. Different guides bring different stories.
Who you might meet on tour
Tours are led by one of our drag queens currently in the rotation. We don't pre-announce who guides which date — but you'll find a current selection above. If you'd like a specific guide, please get in touch and we'll see what works as a private tour.
