Unser Guide Carlo war super informiert und konnte uns viele Geschichten erzählen - unter anderem auch aus seiner eigenen Kindheit und wie es war in Westberlin aufzuwachsen. Carlo konnte all unsere Fragen beantworten und uns auch einige weitere Tipps zu Museen und Cafes geben.

Ich habe an der tour historische Sehenswürdigkeiten & Berliner Maurer teilgenommen. Mein Reiseführer war Carlo. Ich hatte eine Einzelführung, da wohl derzeit noch viele Personen wegen der aktuellen Pandemie Bedenken haben, Reiseführungen zu buchen. Mir hat der Stadtrundgang sehr gut gefallen. Carlo hat viel Wissen über Berlin mitgeteilt und konnte alle meine Fragen beantworten. Ich kann diese Tour auf jeden Fall empfehlen. Top! Vielen Dank Carlo :-).

Der Guide war aufgeweckt, gut drauf und sehr gut informiert. In zwangloser Atmosphäre wurde ich fast 2,5 Stunden bestens unterhalten. Vielen Dank! Eine Bitte: vergrößern Sie Ihre Schilder! Ich fand den Guide eher per Zufall, war schwierig. Die Info dass ich ihn am Brandenburger Tor direkt unter der Quadriga finde bekam ich leider nicht. Sonst: TOP!
