Great trip in the city and in time - We had a great time with our guide. She taught us a lot, with personal testimonies and questions that made us think. Thanks to her, we were able to share life in Berlin during the presence of the wall and after the fall. The 3 hours of visit passed like a flash, including for children (10 and 11 years old).

A unique cycling experience to discover Berlin - Our family bike ride with Jean-Charles as guide was just an ideal experience for our first day in Berlin. We were able to do the essentials while having a historical approach. Jean-Charles allowed us to really discover the city while learning a lot. He also captivated the children (6-11-14), who also enjoyed the visit very much;
