Tobias was really engaging and friendly, and you could tell that he was passionate about LGBTQIA+ history within Berlin. This really helped move the experience along and we also really enjoyed the use of archive pictures and text which added an additional layer to the tour. The tour was a perfect length, with plenty of time being spent taking in the architecture and sights. Tobias was very accommodating when our transport was delayed and we had plenty of comfort stops during the tour. Tobias brought a brilliant wit to the tour and we as a group really enjoyed his company. Would highly recommend this tour, incredible value for money and a wonderful way to learn about the rich history of the LGBTQIA+ community throughout history in Berlin 🇩🇪💚🏳️‍🌈

Had the best time at the tour! The guide, Tobias, was excellent - very knowledgeable and funny. The tour itself was very interesting, prompted me to research more about the topic. Would recommend to all my friends.
