here´s what guest had to say:
“These tours bring alive the complex and conflicted history of Berlin. Highly recommended!” - Colin Barker, social movement researcher, Manchester (England)
"This original tour is in the spirit of Howard Zinn's People's History. It invites us to view historical events from the standpoint of those who challenged the status quo and fought for a more just society" - William A. Gamson, author of 'The Strategy of Social Protest', Boston (USA)
"It isn't just a tour, it's philosophy" - Nelly El Ashkar, student (Lebanon)
“A very good tour. Well-researched and dedicated with the heart to left.” - Olav Fumarola Unsgaard, Gothenburg (Sweden)
"A great tour covering the opposition in East Germany. Those who think revolutions aren't possible in Germany should definitely join this journey in time that goes back to 1989 and the preceeding decades!" - Ulrike Eifler, trade-union activist, born and raised in East Germany
“Anyone who’s interested in history, anyone who’s committed to social change, should by any means take one of the tours. After this I came back home thinking: How come we don’t have something similar in our city?” – Guillem Boix, activist Barcelona (Catalunya, Spain)
