What To Expect

Learn the tumultuous contemporary history of Berlin on a guided walking tour of the city's iconic Third Reich and Cold War sights. See the Brandenburg Gate, Reichstag and Soviet War Memorial. Walk through the Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe, a poignant dedication to the Jewish victims of the Holocaust/Shoah.

Visit the site of Hitler’s Bunker and witness Hermann Göring's enormous Ministry of Aviation, the place where the GDR was founded in 1949. Then go to the site of the former Gestapo and SS HQ, now the site of the Topography of Terror exhibition

Learn about the Berlin Wall, built in 1961 and hear details of the almost impenetrable "death strip". See the 200-meter long stretch of the Berlin Wall and view the location where successful escapes took place over the Wall. You'll hear stories about those people who did not make it and what their fates were..

Round off the tour at Checkpoint Charlie and learn about how the Wall came down in 1989 and all about German unity today.
