About the Berlin Expert
Hi, I’m Renee Hannes
For 35+ years, Europe has been my travel destination of choice. I revisit the same five countries — France, Germany, Italy, Portugal and Spain — to help travellers like you. I explore them extensively and use my relationships with local partners for the latest insider information.

How I help fellow travellers like you:
👉 I balance top attractions with off-the-beaten-path experiences to maximize your vacation time.
👉I understand that travellers are looking for more out of their holiday. I focus on authentic experiences representing local culture.
I’m a great fit for mature travellers, couples, and solo travellers who enjoy authentic experiences, great food and wine, hidden gems, classic sites, and the art of slow travel.
I believe slow travel is an approach that emphasizes deeper connections with destinations by taking time to experience local culture, food, and everyday life, often prioritizing quality over quantity and minimizing fast-paced itineraries.
As an expert in Berlin travel, I’ve been to Germany six times and lived there twice, most recently in Berlin in 2023. Being half German and fluent in the language, I bring a unique, insider perspective to your Berlin experience.
