+++ Description Below - Please first read our new rules for the tour and message us so you can reserve a spot +++As we emerge from lockdown measures into a 'new normal', we need to be wary to ensure everyone on our tour stays safe and healthy. We will have a maximum of 20 participants on the tour and we accept people on a first come first serve basis. Please Message us so you can reserve a spot, either on FB, WhatsApp or to our email address [email protected] . These measures are subject to change and we will strictly adhere to the guidelines published by the RKI and the government.
In 2015 an estimated 1 million people arrived in Europe seeking refuge, many of these people came from Syria. The media focuses intensely on the so-called 'refugee crisis' but often fails to mention why people have been forced to flee their countries. This tour, led by a Syrian refugee, gives you the chance to understand, first-hand, the situation in Syria and why it became too dangerous for many people to stay. By using places of historical significance in Berlin, the walking tour seeks to draw parallels between what has happened in the history of Berlin and what is currently happening in Syria. The idea is to make us realise that none of us is immune to turbulent times, that the refugees of today are escaping real danger and that we have the means to offer them a safe place in Europe. By understanding the situation in Syria, we can start to change our attitudes to those fleeing to Europe.
The tour begins at 15:00 on Saturday at the U-Bahn station of Mohrenstrasse, take the exit from the station in the direction of Wilhelmstrasse and you will find us. The tour will last around 2 hours and ends on Gendarmenmarkt.
Please be aware that the tours are run on a tip basis and a suggested donation of between 5 and 10 euros is what most 'free tour guides' expect in Berlin.
We look forward to seeing you on Saturday!
