“We had a great time on our backstage tour!
Our guide was helpful, friendly, and enthusiastic about the studio. We would highly recommend!”
“I travelled all the way from Serbia to fulfill my teenage dream – visit the set of my favorite series Unter uns and maybe meet some of the actors. Right away I met one: Holger Franke, who was an actor in that series and now is the host of the tour. He does an excellent job!”
