Overall rating

Such a special experience - can not recommend enough! From the minute Rajko turned the corner in his beautiful VW T2 I knew we had picked correctly - so interesting and personal. Loved every minute - do yourself a favor!!

The museum is not a “main event blockbuster exhibition” destination so the galleries were not crowded with scores of other visitors. The building itself is beautiful and just big enough to navigate in one afternoon.

The ticket worked flawlessly. It is a great convenience in moving around the city and the comfort of using the attractions. I recommend!

Highly recommend. A great way to tour the city. Helped us figure out the places we wanted to return to the during the rest of our stay.

Really easy to move around in Berlin however I don’t see any officers checking for the pass. Some may not even have bought it.
