An incredible experience into the world of people who can no longer perceive beauty through their eyes. Our tour guide Kourosh managed to enrich us with an unforgettable experience. Always professional and in an extremely pleasant manner, we were led through several rooms that convey the everyday life of people with a visual impairment in a way that would not otherwise be possible. The tour also includes a dialogue in the dark at the end, where, in our case with Kourosh, we were allowed to speak openly about everything in a Q&A session. This session was a highlight for me personally. Through Kourosh's story, we were able to learn what a warm and great person he is and perhaps also the secret behind a fulfilled life :) Full recommendation for Dialogue in the Dark and of course Kourosh as a tour guide.

Itinerary
Speicherstadt
In the classic dialogue in the Dark Tour, accompanied by your blind guide, you embark on a tour of four adventure rooms including the Dark Bar. How do you cross a traffic light in the middle of the urban hustle and bustle when you can't see a green light? How do you move blindly through a park? And how do you find your way around strange spaces when you suddenly see nothing? There is much to discover but very little to see in this tour, and that is exactly what makes it Hamburg's only dark museum and one of the city's most impressive attractions.

One of the most valuable enrichments for life

Great tour - would do it again!
Please give a big thank you to Bernd. Such a likable, authentic guide. Very good and secure bond within a short time
F
Very special experience!
We would recommend booking to everyone. It is a very special experience to find your way around and move about in complete darkness, even if you feel somewhat insecure doing so. We also found the concluding conversation with the guide in the "Dark Bar" to be very valuable, as we were able to learn a lot there about life as a blind person.

Great experience
Very great tour. This experience gave me the opportunity to at least feel a little of the challenges faced by hearing-impaired individuals. Highly recommended.

Educational and exciting experience
Exciting and incredibly educatively guided tour in the blind. The guide was both extremely helpful and was honest and sincere about how he experienced being blind. The guided tour is well built up with the opportunity to test how it is to be blind in different contexts such as traffic, nature and in the home. It can be highly recommended!

It was great!
It was a mega experience to be blind for 70 minutes. It opens the eyes to other perspectives. It creates understanding and helps in dealing with blind people. The guide was very friendly and very detailed in answering the questions we had. Thank you!
