Unexpected Berlin - During our stay in Berlin we did 4 guided tours with Vive Berlin Tours, all with different guides, very knowledgeable and engaging.
The first tour was "TOUR BERLIN EAST AND THE WALL" led by Paolo, brilliant and theatrical; he managed to tell us in great detail some pages of the history of this city often less prominent than the Nazi period, but very important, transmitting the difficult emotions that Berliners felt, separated by a wall that transformed their lives again.
The second tour was "TOUR YERZO REICH" with Silvio, prepared, professional and passionate; He helped us get to know Berlin during the Nazi period by adding to the historical dates known, details not found in the books or guides conveying his love for Berlin and for some characters who stood out for the courage to try to save lives.
The third tour was "TOUR SACHSENHAUSEN CAMPO CONCENTRATION" led by Lorenzo, excellent at explaining in a simple and linear way historical events very difficult to understand when trying to understand the dynamics that led to certain horrors, always choosing the most suitable words but at the same time charged with respect for all the pain that a genocide can generate.
The fourth tour was “ALTERNATIVE BERLIN TOUR” in which Antonella guided us to the most authentic part of Berlin, showing us the deep differences between the neighborhoods of this city and the beauties that lie hidden in the most unexpected alleys. An indispensable tour to better understand a multicultural city in constant evolution where some of the greatest artists such as David Bowie, Iggy Pop, Tom Hanks, etc. have passed with a sweet break based on Berliner.
Thanks also to Jacopo, often present at morning appointments and always available and kind in listening to the needs of individuals.
Ultimately it made a difference for us to rely on Vive Berlin Tours because with them we tasted the city in a way that we would not have been able to do independently.
