Shades Tour as a class: 5 stars - As a school class, we booked the Shades tour on the topic of "Addiction & Drugs". The students listened eagerly to the guide Ralf, who openly told them his life story, was not shy and answered all of the young people's questions. With information backed up by statistical data, they were given an insight into the different drugs and the effects/consequences as well as substitution. Ralf is an impressive person and we are very grateful to him for telling us his story. We would book the Shades tour again at any time

Incredibly impressive! - The tour on the topic of addiction and drugs was very impressive! Petra found exactly the right way to approach our young people and managed to captivate them for two hours despite the cold and tiredness. I have great respect for people who share their experiences so openly and that is exactly what the young people need! THANK YOU!!

A thoroughly enriching and moving tour, highly recommended - We are very excited! Our extremely friendly guide Ralph/Ralf made the tour very informative, but at the same time very personal. We gained deep insights into the topic and were impressed by our guide's life path and his openness. The tour also opens your eyes and makes you rethink your own perspective on the topic. Applause and thanks also to Manuel, who also told us his story. All the best to you both!

Learning enrichment for all - Second Shades Tour for me, both times with the school and I found both very informative and interesting. Tour guides are very nice and answer almost every question. It is also very interesting to see which places there are help centers and how it all works. I would definitely recommend it, you should do it at least once!!

Very good - The Shades tour was really interesting, Petra explained her story very openly and well. You could also ask her anything, whether about drugs in general or about her story specifically. It is very important that tours like this are offered, especially when you have such a good guide. Thank you to Petra who prepared the tour very well and is helping and protecting many young people.

Shades Tour Addiction & Drugs with a school class - Dear Petra, Thank you very much for your time yesterday! My students were able to take a lot away with them and were enthusiastic throughout. They were particularly impressed by your open manner and the honesty in talking about everything. Exchanging such experiences is very valuable and important, thank you for sharing your story with us! I can highly recommend this tour and the opportunity to ask all questions directly is particularly useful for teenagers and students!!!!!! THANK YOU!!!!!!! Enclosed is feedback from some of my students (17 years old)! 😊 *I didn't know a lot of what Petra said and found it very interesting how she explained it to us. There was no fear of asking questions and I had the feeling that Petra always answered them honestly. I think it's important that we young people are also shown that the topic of addiction (and drugs) is perhaps more personal than we think and that we don't immediately notice when someone is addicted. The tour definitely gives you the impetus to pay more attention to the people around you and to reflect on your own behavior. *Your tour was very informative and gave me a different perspective on the topic of drug use. I was very pleased with your openness; you could ask you anything and often got really good answers. I think you presented both the "good" and the bad sides of drug use and actually put me off the topic quite a bit. *I thought it was particularly great that you spoke so openly about your story and answered all of our questions. I admire you very much for your strength and your path! *You could ask anything without being afraid of hurting you or touching on a sore spot. I think you can really make a difference to young people with your tour and at least deter them from drugs. *I really liked how openly you talked about the topic and how kindly you answered our questions. *I am really impressed by you and your story, you gave us an interesting insight into your world and certainly scared many people away from drugs and addiction. *I learned and got to know a lot of new things, for example the "check it". I will take some of it with me and share it with friends so that they can learn more about drugs! *I found the way you told us your story and the other facts about addiction and drugs very exciting and thrilling. What I personally also really liked was your open way of telling us about all these topics. *I think you got your story across very well and it was easy to get into the story. I also think it's good that you didn't tell us directly, "don't do that now" or "don't take that now", but you just told your story with all the downsides and I think that's much more of a deterrent than if someone keeps telling you not to do this or that. *I think you are very strong and responsible and I admire you too. *I think that you have told us your story and the most important information about the different effects, possibilities, consequences and purity levels of certain drugs very well, so that we can understand everything and relate to it ourselves. *You gave us a realistic picture of the negative aspects, which enabled us to learn a lot and get good information. You were always very honest, even when there were questions that were perhaps a little more personal, and you even answered them for us. T H A N K Y O U !!!!! 😊
