I finally got to do the U-Bahn Tunnel Tour back in June after waiting a bit more than two years! You have to sign up early in the year to get booked as they are limited in space and only run a few months of the year. I was actually scheduled to go last October, but due to technical difficulties, it was cancelled (the first time that ever happened to a Tunnel Tour, apparently).
In any case, it was worth the wait. You ride through the U-Bahn tunnels on this open train. It was so much fun! I took a lot of pictures, but not many are actually worth showing, but hopefully I can dig out a few. Don't forget to check out Signs, Signs for your Wednesday fix.
That sounds like fun!
ReplyDeleteGosh glad you finally got to go!
ReplyDeleteI would love to take such a tour. I wonder why they do so few tours? Is it the weather?
ReplyDeleteI think it's logistics. They can only do the tours in the evening when there are fewer trains running. And I believe they only do them on Friday and Saturday. There's a person who speaks and gives some background and history to the system and I'm not sure the BVG has a lot of people trained on that.
DeleteI would also enjoy such a tour!
ReplyDeleteThis guy will stay above ground thank you!
ReplyDeleteSounds like a good time!

ReplyDeleteThat sounds like a weird experience!
ReplyDeleteThis sounds a rather curious tour. I think we all look forward to hearing more.
ReplyDeleteThat tour sounds like the hottest ticket in town.
ReplyDeleteFrankly My Dear
Looks like a fun tour. Hope to see more photos from this tour.
ReplyDeleteInteresting...what a special way to learn. ... The underground history of your City. Assume there was a guide or conductor who talked about the highlights.
ReplyDeleteThat goes straight on my "to do" list. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteI too love to see the infrastructure and back spaces out of public view!
