.Top! A journey through time in post-war East Berlin - Beautiful experience. Paolo is an experienced and passionate Guide. It is capable of making you travel back in time to discover the history of the Berlin Wall and the Cold War. Complex concepts made simple. It caught the attention of my 10-year-old son throughout the tour. Highly recommended!

Great! Both for the places and for the story. - An experience that I highly Recommendation.
It is a tour done well by prepared and passionate people. The Guide, in our case Silvio, managed to immerse us in the history and stories of Berlin in those years, and make us empathize with their protagonists. Nice.

Berlin and your history run through you. - It was the way to deepen, with a competent but light cut, some aspects that distinguish this wonderful city and the not entirely healed wounds of our modern history. Guides very prepared and helpful, who have adapted very well to the heterogeneity of our group. Consigliatissimo!

An exceptional discovery! - It was a unique experience! The Vita Guide was very clear in its explanation and introduced us to the history of the Berlin Wall and what people had to live on at that time. It took us to the pivotal places in history.
Unfortunately we did not have time for the other tours but surely once we return to Berlin we will also do the others because they give extra knowledge.
