Niemand war am Treffpunkt, wir haben nichts für unser Geld bekommen. Ich habe eine sehr späte und unhöfliche Antwort bekommen, als wir versucht haben Kontakt aufzubauen um zu fragen wo unser Guide ist. Außerdem wurde in der Nachricht gelogen und gesagt, dass ich meine Telefonnummer falsch angegeben hätte und der Guide mich versucht hätte mich anzurufen. Ich habe die Angabe überprüft - sie ist richtig und bei mir ist kein Anruf eingegangen. Nie wieder!!! Ich will mein Geld zurück!!!

What remains of the wall brings to life what the citizens of Berlin had to experience from 1961 to 1989 when it was finally torn down. In the city there are several areas where a piece of the wall still exists but the most important ones are where there is the memorial and where there are the murals including, the most famous one, the kiss between the Russian leader Leonid Brezhnev and the President of East German SED party Erich Honecker.

Spannende und sehr kurzweilige Führung. Die Zeit verging im Fluge. Man bekommt einen guten Eindruck von damals. Sehr zu empfehlen!

Die Tour hat uns nachhaltig beeindruckt. Und trotz der Schwere der Geschichte, hatte die Tour für uns einen Mehrwert. So haben wir eine Menge über die Mauer und Teilung von Deutschland erfahren und gelernt welche intensiven Auswirkungen sie auf die Menschen hatte. Wir können die Tour jedem empfehlen und sind sehr dankbar, dass wir den Beginn der Tour zeitlich vorziehen konnten.

Esperienza toccante, è da vedere più di un km di quello che rimane del muro, interamente ricoperto di murales naturalmente a tema. È un pezzo importante della nostra storia e coscienza recente. Bello anche il ponte delle spie, così chiamato, adesso inglobato in un’altra dimensione.

Kann die Tour oder vielleicht besser den Veranstalter nicht empfehlen. Zum Einen standen wir zu 6. zum richtigen Zeitpunkt am vereinbartem Ort, aber es kam niemand. Es wurde keiner von uns (3 unterschiedliche Gruppierungen, 3 einzelne Damen, ein älteres Ehepaar und ich)) angerufen, angeschrieben oder sonst i-wie kontaktiert und informiert. Und dann natürlich auch niemand erreichbar. Ich habe versucht jemanden per SMS zu erreichen und ein Ehepaar hat es bei beiden Telefonnummern probiert, niemanden erreicht. Das ist schon sehr fragwürdig, wenn man Kontaktmöglichkeiten anbietet, aber dort niemand erreicht...Zeugt nicht von Seriosität. Ich hoffe mal dass wir alle das Geld zurück bekommen und jemand antwortet... Sehr schade, hätte die Führung sehr gerne mitgemacht.

Pour avoir une bonne vision du mur, de son histoire, de ses héros et de ses martyrs, passez par le mémorial du mur, Gedenkstätte Berliner Mauer, visitez le centre d’accueil des visiteurs puis allez jusqu’à Friedrichshain pour flâner le long de l’East Side GALLERY.

Wir können diese Führung jedem empfehlen. Der Guide hat uns sehr emotional mitgenommen. Besonders das Schicksal des kleinen Jungen, der an seinem Geburtstag tödlich verunglückte, hat uns getroffen. Alle anderen Geschichten war sehr spannend und die Erklärung zum Grenzaufbau hat uns sehr gefallen. Top +++
