Teddy Tour Berlin, run by Karsten Morschett and Thomas Vetsch, cater for those who can't themselves afford to tour the German capital, but want the next best thing.
Expatica.com reports that customers send their teddies and the payment details to the company, who then take the bears around sites such as Brandenburg Gate, the Berlin Olympic Stadium, and remnants of the Berlin Wall.
At each site, the visiting teddy is photographed in a snappy pose.
"They aren't photo-montages either," Morschett stresses. "We actually take the teddies to these places and pose them as stylishly as possible, just as their owners would want us to do."
If you want to send your ursine friend to Berlin, it will set you back between $25 and $150 for the deluxe tour.
Morschett and Vetsch say they both admire teddies as "a kind of soft art form" and that they take pains to ensure that their travelogue photos are stylish and not simply vacation snapshots.

It also sounds like a great business idea, as long as the photos aren't taken inside of museums, etc, for which you'd have to pay admission and get camera permissions. Hmmmm.
Pretty clever idea though.
I wonder if they'd do garden gnomes. . .
still cute tho
