Olivia Jones' Berlin Kiez Tour

Olivia Jones' Berlin Kieztour: A "Sightseeing Show"!

Whether broad daylight or dazzling night – the Ku'damm, steeped in history, provides plenty of stories to tell. Olivia Jones and her "bosom buddy" Gloria Glamour have compiled the best anecdotes and interesting facts for you.

Have you ever heard of how the currywurst was invented in Berlin with East German assistance? Which Ku'damm celebrity became an escape helper of the Red Army Faction? Where does the "Berliner Miljö" call home? Or in which nuclear bunker can you still "rent" today at a reasonable price? You can learn all this and more from Olivia's travesty colleague Gloria Glamour ("Olivia's Show Club", "Pulverfass Cabaret" and much more).

Let's start with a currywurst tasting followed by a local Berlin beer. The tour takes you to the most important sights around Ku'damm (Bahnhof Zoo, Kranzler Eck, the Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial Church, the hotels of the "High Society", the hotspot Savignyplatz and much more). The tour also includes short detours to side streets worth seeing.

And as the crowning glory, cult drag queen Gloria Glamour is available for joint souvenir photos.

Our Berlin Kieztour guide

Gloria Glamour inspires with a great deal of wit and self-irony. She describes herself as a "drag queen pigmented to the max with black humour". As a trained hairdresser with prominent customers like Claudia Schiffer, "he" hung up the scissors and stepped into the spotlight as "she" herself. Since then Gloria has been an integral part of Berlin's nightlife. In Hamburg she performs in Olivia's Show Club and travels the world on board the Aida fleet. But even though she travels all over the world, she has been at home in Berlin for about 20 years – and this is evident. She knows Ku'damm and the Berlin ‘Kiez’ (neighbourhood) inside and out. Her circle of acquaintances comprises celebrities such as Udo Walz, Romy Haag and Susanne Juhnke and she performed on stage in the Theater des Westens with Guido Maria Kretschmar.
