We learned a lot! - Highly recommended for young people and adults. Impressive insights into a life that you couldn't really imagine. After Martin presented his life, you realized that your own life is absolutely worth living, even if you don't have everything!

Very personal tour - absolutely recommended - Very cool tour! Tour guide Martin took us to many places and locations that are connected to his past. There he told us how he got into this situation and what his everyday life was like. The tour and especially his personal stories were very thought-provoking and we learned, among other things, that we should also appreciate people who are not doing so well at the moment for various reasons. Definitely recommended! An enthusiastic school class

Highly recommended and moving tour off the beaten track - For me, the most insightful tour ever! Thank you Martin for opening up the perspective for tolerance with your authentic, preventative story without pointing the finger and for reminding us not to judge or even condemn too quickly. Not to forget the "quiet" administrative background work by Nadine, including the professional development of the homepage with appointment calendar and payment management. Respect, you can be proud of yourselves, all the best on your journey.

Check this out! - Exciting. Shocking. Sad. Informative. Funny. The tour guide is a good soul having lots of experience with living on the streets, and is super open on sharing what he encountered. Also spiced with a good dose of local anarchist history, which is similarly intruiging and sometimes upright hilarious. Big recommendation!
