And no trip to Berlin would be complete without visiting it and the other significant sites associated with it. We will cover the fascinating period between the Second World War and the construction of the Berlin Wall when the uncomfortable alliance between the Soviets and Western Allies finally shattered, heralding the beginning of the Cold War. what led to the construction of the wall? what led to its fall? what life was like on both sides of the Berlin Wall? • Also we look and the many varied and ingenious ways people escaped and and visit a number of the specific escape spots. • Our Guides have lead hundreds of tours on the Berlin Wall and Cold War and we have molded this tour from years of tour guiding experience and personal research. Whether you are a history buff yourself or just a curious traveler, we don’t think you will be disappointed.

Itinerary

  • Memorial of the Berlin Wall

    One of the most incredible sites related to the Berlin Wall and the scene of tragic loss and brilliant escapes. The memorial itself is over 1km long and includes the only preserved complete cross-section of the Berlin Wall and Death-Strip.

    1 hour 20 minutes

  • Checkpoint Charlie

    The most famous of all the Check Points it was the scene of many failed and successful escapes and also an incredible face-off between the American and Soviet forces in the Autumn of 1961.

    15 minutes

  • Topography of Terror

    The section on Niederkirchnerstrasse is the only surviving fragment of the wall in this part of Berlin. It is right next to the former-Luftwaffe Headquarters which was used during the East German Period as the House of Ministries. It is also the site of one of the more incredible escapes into West Berlin.

    10 minutes

  • GDR Watch Tower

    Visit and possibly ascend the last of the "BT - variant" watchtowers that used to surround West Berlin. A rare survival saved thanks to a private initiative.

    15 minutes

  • Potsdamer Platz

    See how a desolate piece of land in, and also bounding, the death-strip has developed into a high-rise business and entertainment quarter. The rebirth of re-unified Berlin before your very eyes.

    10 minutes

Such a fabulous tour. Our guide Paul was fantastic! He had a huge amount of historical knowledge and explained everything in a clear and understandable way. He answered lots of other questions the group had both related and unrelated to the tour. He was a great guide. I cannot recommend this tour enough if you are visiting Berlin and want a better understanding of the era. Thanks Paul!

Fantastic Tour

Published on Jan, 2025

The tour guide, Cairan, was excellent. His knowledge of Berlin and the historical events surrounding the city is fantastic and he was more than happy to answer any questions during the tour. I learned so much about the Cold War, life in East Berlin etc and everything was explained very well. I would highly recommend this tour for anyone visiting Berlin!

Wonderful experience
