What people are saying about Hackescher Markt

We had just taken the Charité tour on Friday so when we strolled up for this one and saw the same tour guide, we knew we were in for another treat. Susanne is such a dynamic presenter and it's crazy how much information she knows and delivers. This is one of the coolest parts of the city so a little behind-the-scenes is worth seeing!

We had a very educational tour and were impressed by the history that Susanne described wonderfully and with a lot of humor. Despite the cold wind and our almost frozen hands and feet, we really enjoyed this hidden beauty of Berlin!

More funny than scary. Was my third dungeon the others were a lot scarier. But funny isn't a bad thing. The actors do great

Very interesting and a lot of fun. Always my pleasure

Was fun, got a few good screams/scares out of me :)
