Selbst für Berliner sehr empfehlenswert. Ein Ort den man zwar kennt, aber nur zu Fuß in Begleitung eines Guide richtig entdecken kann. Viel Hintergrundwissen und geduldig beantwortete Fragen. Vielleicht sind geplante 2h etwas zu wenig Zeit für diese Strecke und dieses umfangreiche Thema. Eine Tasse Kaffee oder Tee im Cafe Sibylle (Pause) wäre nett. :)

Sehr gut geführte Tour unter erschwerten Bedingungen. Wir waren 15 (!) Personen, einige mit exzellenten russischen Sprachkenntnissen, andere ausgebildete Historiker. Nicht einfach für einen Tourguide. Holger hat´s grandios hinbekommen, zum einen auf die individuellen Bedürfnisse einer sehr heterogenen Gruppe einzugehen und zum anderen trotzdem den Bogen zu spannen, von den großen Zügen der Makrogeschichte hin zu den kleinen Anekdoten und Mini-Begebenheiten, die das Ganze sehr lebendig und plastisch machten. Chapeau!

I came to Berlin with my husband and my parents who are visiting us in Europe. My husband is very into the topic of SocRealism. We were lucky enough to have a private tour with Holger, as there were only 4 of us during the whole walk. We meet Holger at the Frankfurter Tor and did the whole length of Karl Marx Allee also known as Stalinallee finishing at the Alexanderplatz. Holger is very knowledgeable and you can see that he is passionate about the subject. We learned a lot about the history of East Berlin through, the way people lived and to architectural details of the buildings we saw. Our tour finished the tour at the Treptow Memorial for the Red Army. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants to find out a bit more about the most recent history of Berlin.
