Carlos_R, Oct 2025
A visit off the tourist trails and the history of the city told in a different and original way. Quick and easy immersion. Good presentation we enjoyed the outing a lot. A little hard for me for photography but a photo trip to do the next day giving the impression of knowing everyone like a Berliner 😀.

Intéressant, mais à approfondir.

Guide disponible à répondre à nos questions. Histoire de la ville de Berlin intéressante. Cependant il y a eu des informations imprécises, voire fausses, que j'ai dû par moi-même corriger par la suite en consultant diverses sources d'informations.
