Berlin, Berlin, Germany Discover the divided city of Berlin, retrace the often ghost-like trail of the death strip and the Berlin Wall, coming upon some of the more intriguing fortifications of its border, from guard towers to tank traps. Walk along Bernauer Strasse, site of many remarkable escape attempts.
Learn of successful and failed escapes in the face of a Border Command that would sooner follow the order of 'shoot to kill' than allow the heinous crime of 'flight from the Republic'.
Discover the methods of the Stasi (East German State Security) and learn about the systems, devices and people that kept the entire East German population under surveillance for 40 years. Who were the key figures in the GDR leadership and where are they today?
Get an extraordinary insight into what it meant to live in the GDR, the eastern bloc’s most heavily policed state. What was it like to live "Behind the Wall"? 240 minutes

Toni was wonderful. His calm informative demeanor was refreshing & educational. He’s a great guide and the fact that he was a child during the Cold War gave us some interesting insights

Rob from Manchester was a terrific guide. He had a tremendous historical perspective and enhanced the tour with historic photos from his iPad at various locations. He also tailored the experience for our teens. Really enjoyed the tour and highly recommend.

Walid var super til å engasjere både barn og voksne.
Han har topp kompetanse om Berlins historie. Både av nyere dato, men ikke minst gammel historie.
Sykling var en effektiv og fin måte å bevege seg rundt i byen.
Anbefales på det sterkeste.
