Tour Details

The irrepressible city of Berlin has withstood more than most. See the impacts that World War Two, the Holocaust and the Cold War had on this city, then see how it's reinvented itself to emerge as one of the hottest spots for travellers to visit. We start our vibrant Berlin tour in the heart of Berlin's new government quarter where you will get up close and personal to some of the original sites of the apocalyptic Battle of Berlin in 1945. While strolling the streets of this city, we take you on a journey as we explore the political changes that have occurred over the decades, and gain some further insight into modern Berlin culture. Our guides have their own pictures, original documents, as well as old and new maps, which make this Berlin walking tour experience all the more memorable. We walk through the Brandenburg Gate and the beautiful Pariser Platz, the Memorial to the murdered Jews of Europe, the holocaust and the troubled aspects of its past. Learn more about Adolf Hitler and the site where he hid out during the final battle of World War II. Step back in time as we pass by former Nazi Ministries, the Topography of Terror, and Checkpoint Charlie. Hear stories of Cold War, GDR fugitives and day to day life in divided Germany, including a stop at The Wall. We visit the site, where young Peter Fechter was murdered by border guards in 1962, continuing to what is widely regarded as the most beautiful place of Berlin: Gendarmenmarkt. Next we take in some of Berlin's Grand Boulevards, including Friedrichstrase and Unter den Linden, Berlin's Humboldt University, famous museums, beautiful old churches, flea markets, chocolate makers and hidden gems to uncover.
