An unmissable experience - A unique experience that I recommend to anyone visiting Berlin for the first time. Thanks to Claudia who was a great guide: with accurate descriptions and contemporary history stories she was able to take us back in time and make us relive those dark years.

East Berlin tour in Italian - Excellent guide, Paolo knows how to immerse you in that world so distant and so close to us, also through stories of real lives that he guards, always interesting, never boring, absolutely to do!
Easy to reach meeting point, you have to have metro tickets to get around the city. The tour does not end at the starting point but the guide directed us to the respective destinations

The Wall and the 2 sides of Berlin - Giulia guided us and was impeccable in everything. It made us relive the situation of East and West Berliners in an engaging way. We had the opportunity to take many photos, which we will carry as a souvenir. Giulia was helpful throughout answering clearly and completely to any of our questions.
Professional at best.

Absolutely recommended! - Beautiful tour held by Fabio, very prepared and nice guide. After meeting at Potsdamer Platz, we visited the Nordbahnhof underground station (ghost station at the time of the division of the city), the Wall memorial at Bernauer Straße, Alexanderplatz and the East Side Gallery. All very fascinating and explained in a very clear and engaging way. Try it!!

Tour East Berlin and Wall - Lorenzo super-guide! - Great tour held by the guide Lorenzo, very competent and well prepared. It was very interesting and intense also because Lorenzo was able to optimally manage 30 people between travel by public transport and walking, given the distances and the huge spaces of the city of Berlin.
