Traveler reviews
A good reminder that we are strong people.
We cannot say enough on how much we enjoyed walking and learning our queer history from Nick!! He was simply fabulously knowledgeable!!!
An important yet less covered part of Berlins history
Very unique and educational look into Berlins gay and queer history. Tom the tour guide was very knowledgeable, articulate and approachable allowing for questions regularly.
Varied and informative. Anything but boring.
We booked this guided tour. Nora took us through Berlin together with five other tour guests. Nora was very well prepared, important data and facts she knew by heart. She had vivid material with her. Nora brought everything across well, not for a minute did we get bored. What we particularly liked was the variety. Sometimes you get the feeling that you stop in one place forever. That wasn't the case here. Nora showed us lots of places, queer art and much more. Thanks for the great afternoon!
Highly Recommend!
Highly recommend this tour. It was great to walk around the city and find out more about queer history in Berlin. Our tour guide Nikolas was also amazing, super friendly and informative.
Excellent tour!
10/10 experience. Tom was an amazing guide, very personable and super knowledgable about the city and its history. The tour office also went above and beyond helping to connect me with my group when I couldn't find my way. Would definitely recommend for anyone looking for an engaging and informative tour!
