Jochen Pioch
Jochen is a food journalist and a tour guide who came to Berlin as a young student and immediately fell in love with the city’s glamour and mayhem. He studied Art History and Philosophy in Berlin and Rome, and earned a degree at Hamburg Journalism School. He has written for history and food magazines and published a book on sea rescuing, a subject dear to his heart.
As a passionate flaneur, Jochen has worked as a tour guide in numerous countries around the world. His favorite spots in Berlin change according to the season: in spring, it’s the luscious flowerbeds of Tiergarten park; in summer, it’s the Spree riverbanks; in fall, it’s the flea market outside Schöneberg city hall, and when it’s cold outside, he seeks shelter in the warm and splendid halls of Museum Island.
Wonderful, interesting and informative
Our guide was excellent and provided extensive information on German food, far beyond what would normally be expected. And he was pleasure to talk with.
Jochen was very knowledgable and made the tour interesting and fun. He had great insights into the history of Berlin and its path forward. Highly recommend!
