Wall Museum, House on Checkpoint Charlie Guest Comments
”Bjorn, sorry to take so long answering your email. We just returned home from a great trip. The tour was excellent. Absolutely no complaints. We very much enjoyed the guide - he definitely seemed to know his stuff and was very responsive to our requests. Our only regret was that we had only one day.“

”Dear Mr Awe, Thank you for organising a superb tour guide. He was hugely interesting and knowledgeable. I got to understand the architectural history of Berlin in a way no guide book could ever have explained. It was pitched right. I look forward to booking another tour. Please pass my appreciation onto him.“
