Seems like a silly way to spend one's money, but everyone has hobbies.
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.

Now if the $25 includes the international shipping, it might be a good deal.
Pretty clever idea though.
I wonder if they'd do garden gnomes. . .

Amelie has no comment.

Perhaps Teddy-bears and Gnomes together... on the same trip...the possibilities are endless.

I wonder if my puppet Fuzz the Wonder Raccoon would be able to participate in this, or if he'd be discriminated against due to species? He does have a long history of travel, having visited every continent and even gone up on the Space Shuttle once. A Berlin tour would be just his sort of thing.

I did a similar thing once but I was actually on holiday as well. I had a teddy backpack and I took him everywhere with me when we went down south. I have photo's of him at The Valley of the Giants tree top walk, getting pissed in Preverley, playing cricket on the beach and at one of the caves.

This is actually a really cute idea. I don't think *I* would want to spend that sort of money, but heck, if someone said, "Hey, here's an extra $100 for nothing..." It might be fun.

Aw. I have two teddy bears and I think it would be kind of fun to send them on tour. But that's too expensive for me.

Oh also, I don't think your raccoon would be discriminated against, Accipiter. On their site they have pictures of other stuffed animals too. I saw a hippo and a rabbit.

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.
"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.
