Our participants were impressed by our guides' extensive knowledge of history and current topics. But don't just take our word for it. Take a look at some of our reviews.

Very good. German colonial history brought closer in concrete terms using the Berlin cityscape. What is hidden everywhere in our everyday life... Find out! Suitable for Berliners, newcomers and tourists all together ;-)

The tour was very interesting, informative and inspiring. I think this kind of first-hand experience of the colonial consequences is important and I am glad that I was able to educate myself a little more :)

As a supposedly well-educated person, I was really amazed at how big the black hole of the German curriculum is in the context of German colonial history. Thanks to the excellent guide, I learned a lot of new things and gained new food for thought.
