  2. John Andersson (WMSE) (talk) 08:11, 4 November 2013 (UTC) I would love "Tour 6 – Main sights in the inner-city" as this is my first time in Berlin. I was hoping to squeeze in a meeting with the WMDE staff and visit their office in the morning (perhaps I could join an hour later or so if needed?).
