I loved the small details and how the tour highlighted monument and buildings that aren’t as well known.

Thought you knew everything about the wall? Think again! This tour gives a deep insight at how divided West and East Berlin was during the wall regime. Thanks to the incredible voice audio it is even more interesting and pleasent to do this tour. I highly recommend everyone to do this tour!

Outstanding tour! I’ve taken quite a few VoiceMap tours during a month-long trip covering seven European countries. This tour wins the price for offering the best orientation guidance. I felt so sure of where I was and where I was going that I could actually put my phone away and just enjoy the stories. It’s amazing what a difference good guidance makes to the enjoyment of the tour. A+ guide!
