This tour offers a rich and compact insight into Berlin’s complex past – informative, engaging and professionally guided.
What to expect
The seat of the German Parliament, the Reichstag reflects Berlin’s turbulent history – from empire to republic to dictatorship and democracy. Your guide will explain the symbolism of its famous glass dome.
The most iconic gateway in Berlin. Once a symbol of division during the Cold War, it now stands for unity and freedom. Your guide will walk you through its evolving role in German history.
You will be impressed by the stories that the guide will tell you in this place of great emotion. A symbol in Berlin to remember the greatest crime committed by the German state in the time of Nazism.
From a 1920s entertainment hub to a Cold War no man’s land – now a symbol of Berlin’s modern rebirth. The guide will explain the dramatic transformation of this area.
An architectural highlight of the new Potsdamer Platz. A symbol of the city’s reinvention after reunification, with striking design and international flair.
A symbolic Cold War site where East and West confronted each other for four decades. The guide will share dramatic escape stories and explain the tension that once filled this place.
A lively square in the former East Berlin, known for its courtyards, galleries, and nightlife. Your guide will introduce you to its role in Berlin’s cultural and urban transformation.
You will see original remains of the Berlin Wall and learn about the division of the city, life under surveillance, and the peaceful revolution that led to its fall.
You will walk through this great avenue, once the access road to the emperor's palace. The guide will show you how to recognize the various periods of construction and the wounds left by the war.
A central square in former East Berlin, known for its socialist architecture, TV tower, and vibrant urban life. Your guide will explain its evolution from a medieval market to a socialist showpiece.
