An exciting visit - A very informative visit led by Paul who knew how to interest us for 3 hours. No fear time passes quickly and the visit is very rhythmic. Watch out for people a little old because you have to keep up 😉

The big story told by the little stories. Not to be missed! - This visit closed our 3-day weekend in Berlin. The 3 hours of visit passed very quickly. This visit was captivating. Many explanations, illustrated by photos, diagrams, places. We learned a lot from anecdotes. We had the Impression of living what we were saying. Our Guide Céline was exciting. Go ahead with your eyes closed. I highly recommend it.

Guided tour of the Berlin Wall - Very good visit, I highly recommend doing this tour with a Guide rather than without. Travel between different places is made easier and without wasting time searching for the right transport line. Our Guide Jean Charles gave us a lot of explanations and details and I learned a lot. We were a small group of 10 people. The tone of the visit was good. I have an extraordinary memory.
