Join Birchy or one of our expert guides on a private tour of the key-sites related to the Berlin Wall and Cold War Berlin. Learning the when, why, how of the Berlin Wall explore the incredible Berlin Wall Memorial, with the complete death-strip preserved and partially reconstructed. Unique even prior to the memorialization that occurred after the wall fell, it was the scene of incredible escapes and tragic loss of life. From the Wall Memorial we will head to part of Mitte where the Berlin Wall bounded the American Sector to the South and as well as the British Sector to the west. There we will see the Check Point Charlie (the most famous of all the crossing points between West and East), the immense former House of Ministries buildings (and one of the very few surviving Nazi ministry buildings) and from there head to the last surviving of the BT - variant Watchtower (which we can actually ascend).  The tour finishes at Potsdamer Platz, once one of the busiest city intersections in Europe it was decimated by the end of the Second World War and what remained was further erased due to the construction of the Wall and the development of the death-strip. Now a bustling commercial and entertainment district it is a stark symbol of how a city can rebound from what was a social catastrophe if there ever was one. This is a Walking Tour Pickups are on foot

Paul was fantastic, he spent the time to go into detail about the Berlin Wall and the Cold War and answered any of our questions. Would recommend anyone do this tour if you want to learn from an expert guide. It was worth paying extra for a private Tour.

Viator had the departure time wrong on our tickets, so we did not take this tour. The tickets had the departure time as 11:00 but the actual time was 10:00 so we missed the tour. I have used Viator for years without any problems and all of the other tickets on this trip were OK. I am hopeful for a refund.

Great tour with the fantastic Aaron - lovely guy, down to earth, easy to chat to, good level of knowledge and lots of good accompanying material to share. Went with my 15-year-old son who is studying the Cold War at school, and we both learned a lot. Would highly recommend.
