Es war eine sehr interessante und lehrreiche Stadtführung mit einem kompetenten und freundlichen Guide. Holger mit seinem Buchanka hat uns sicher durch die Straßen Berlins geführt. Vielen Dank.

Ich hatte schon Stadtführungen durch Seoul (Süd Korea), London (England) und Oxford (England) Aber eine solche Tour hatte ich noch nie. Die Tour war die ganze Zeit über interessant, wurde nicht langweilig und man hatte das Gefühl hinterher wirklich etwas zu wissen. Auch Erzählungen über nicht so super bekannte Orte in Berlin gehörten zur Tour und durch eigene Erfahrungen des Guides wurde die Fahrt in dem alten neuen Bus persönlicher und nicht so wie in den großen Hop-on Hop-off Bussen. Absolut zu empfehlen für Leute, die Führungen auch gerne etwas persönlicher mögen.
