Your Experience

Discover Berlin as the frontier of the Cold War on this historical guided walking tour. After World War II, Berlin changed from the capital city of Nazi Germany into a pivotal city in a struggle to control war-torn Europe. As two superpowers faced off, the city was to become the epicenter of the Cold War. Ever wonder what it was like to live ‘behind the wall’, in the Eastern Bloc’s heavily policed state?

Learn about the Stasi’s most devious methods to keep the entire East German population under 40 years of surveillance. Discover KGB’s support in their ‘comrades’, as they attempted to outwit MI6 and the CIA. Walk through the Palace of Tears, also known as Tränenpalast, which was once used as a strategic border control crossing point. Travel between the ‘ghost stations’, and hear stories of daring attempts. Hear how ‘the Wall’ came crashing down on the night of 9th November 1989. Visit the last remaining stretch of the ‘death strip’ and Berlin Wall. Spot the site of multiple escape tunnels, which successfully conducted some East Berliners to the West. Pay homage to the souls of the lost ones at the Chapel of Reconciliation. Soak in this city’s extraordinary history.
