Excellent guided tour - Excellent guided tour with Ariane. Despite the time, she was able to captivate us with her explanations. She answered all questions and recommended other things to see. Guided tour recommended for all types of public. My 11 year old son really liked it. If I come back to Berlin, I will definitely book another visit.

Great visit - Céline kept us in suspense with her very interesting and humorous comments. Such a guided tour led by a professional allowed us to understand the history of Berlin more pleasantly. We regret not having had enough time in this city full of history to follow it a second time!...
