This guided Berlin walking tour will show you the battleground of the military conflict between the western world and the communist world. With your expert guide, see the Berlin Wall and hidden areas of the Death Strip, a former guard tower and travel through underground 'Ghost Stations'. Stand above the most famous escape tunnels, hear about the people who created them. Listen to stories about espionage, how the CIA and KGB faced off in this geopolitical hotspot. Learn about the leaders of the time and the events that kept the world on the brink of a nuclear war for 40 years. Your guide will expertly inform you on what life was like for Berlin's citizens during the almost 45 years of conflict and the ramifications we are still dealing with today.

Artie is a fantastic guide! He is passionate about the topic and had so many interesting stories. He brought along photos and maps to help us visualize life in Berlin after WWII. This is not a highlight tour of all the sites in Berlin. This tour visits a few places and explains these in detail. We never felt rushed and were able to ask questions along the route. This tour requires subway travel; purchase a day pass before you begin. The walking pace was very manageable for a couple in their late 50’s. Even my husband, who is not a history nerd, loved the tour. We have been talking about it ever since we went. We both highly recommend.

Great host with lots of information and facts, well informed guide. A suggestion would be to spend less time next to the subway train tracks and do the explanation for that part up the stairs away from the train line, as it was difficult to hear. Other than that en excellent tour

We hebben een zeer aangename en boeiende wandeling gehad met onze gids, Xavier. Reeds van in het begin van de wandeling merkte je op dat hij veel wist over het onderwerp en dat hij zo veel mogelijk informatie wou delen met zijn groep. We passeerden onder andere Friedrichstrasse station, tränenpalast, monument van de Berlijnse muur, Nordbahnhof en reconciliation church. Er was met momenten een overvloed aan informatie, maar Xavier deed er alles aan om zijn groep een fijne tijd te bezorgen! We hebben er van genoten.
