Berlin Trip Overview
Berlin is not just a city to see, it is also a place to listen to and dance around in!
You will not only learn interesting facts and city tales, but will hear famous melodies and songs of different eras – from classical melodies to brand-new pieces – created under the influence of historical events that happened right here. That is why we call it a musical expedition – you discover the city from various angles and explore its true voice.
How does it work?
You put on headphones and follow the guide who only accompanies you along the route. The information and music are mixed in a professional audio track. You can choose one of three languages (German, English or Russian), so people from different countries can be present in our group at the same time.
In times of thematic podcasts on social networks, virtual museums, audiobooks and online performances, this immersive excursion format is becoming extremely popular.
