Absolut empfehlenswert! Wir waren schon bei vielen verschiedenen Stadtführungen, aber diese war mit Abstand die BESTE! Unser Nachtwächter (der Michel) war sehr witzig und hat alles super rübergebracht. Es war ein Samstagabend und allein von den Nachtwächtern waren 3 Touren mit je gut 25 Personen unterwegs, zudem noch weitere Stadtführungen auf dem Kiez. Wir hatten dennoch an jeder Station genügend Zeit und Fragen wurden sehr gut beantwortet. Lautstärke und Verständlichkeit waren auch TOP! Während der Führung gibt es auch die Gelegenheit den Boxkeller in der "Ritze" zu besuchen, dieser kostet zusätzlich 3€ (dafür gibt es einen Schnaps). Es ist jedoch keine Pflicht mit rein zu gehen. Insgesamt hat die Führung etwas länger gedauert als angegeben, also alles ohne Zeitdruck, trotz der vielen anderen Touren um uns herum. Jederzeit wieder! Weiter so!
