Join us on a Berlin World War Tour like no other. When you consider the turbulent history of Berlin, considering its relatively young age, none of the chapters of its story are darker than that of the Nazi Period. And on this Unique tour, we will cover it all, pre-war Nazi Berlin and the events in Berlin coinciding with the ebbs and flows of the Second World War, Hitler’s dream for Berlin, the Germania Project and the shattered reality of the city post-war. Visiting one of the still extant Hoch Bunkers we will learn about the Heavy Bomber air-raids raids on Berlin and how the nazi authorities and military countered it. And we will retrace the footsteps of the Soviet Soldiers as they raced to raise the Soviet Flag above the Reichstag under a hail of fire. The World War Berlin Tour includes a stroll down Wilhelmstrasse which was the government district, visiting the site of the Hitlers Bunker, The New Reich Chancellery Building, Joseph Goebbal’s Propaganda Ministry. Essentially the nerve center of the Third Reich and occupied Europe  • Brandenburg Gate & The Reichstag • Air-raid bunker • Moltekebrücke • Soviet War Memorial in Tiergarten • Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe • Luftwaffe HQ, Hitlers Bunker, & SS Gestapo HQ • Battle Sites, Hidden City Scars  & MUCH MUCH MORE!!  This is a Walking Tour Pickups are on foot

First of all, a bit about our guide, Paul. He was incredible. Full of information, including history leading up to the war, and spent time on the journey telling us the background and showing things of interest. He could answer every question, and was obviously passionate about history and the area. He actually made our visit, and for that we cannot thank him enough. From purchasing the tickets to meeting our guide to getting back to our hotel, the process was easy. The journey is long on the train, followed by a 15 minute walk to Sachsenhausen, so be aware of that. The actual place - I don’t think I can put into words what it was like. The thought of being there, and hearing and imagining what the prisoners went through, was humbling, and made us reflect on how lucky we are. We didn’t take photos, as did not feel it was right to do so (our personal view), and we were also so busy listening to Paul we didn’t really think about taking any. There is a café- we thought there wasn’t so took some lunch with us, but would eat at the café if we returned as it looked nice food (soup/sandwiches/cake) and was reasonably priced. The biggest advice we would give is take a coat, even if it is not particularly cold. The wind across the open space was biting at times. We would say this is an unmissable trip, and be prepared to be moved. And ask for Paul - you won’t be disappointed.

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 Berlin Group Highlights tour for private groups of 10 people and under. If you have never been to Berlin before and you would like to sample something from all of the incredible historical epoch’s of this city’s history on a private and personal tour then look no further. In under 5km we will visit some of the most historically important sites of the 20th Century, not just Europe but the whole of the world. See the imposing Reichstag, originally the parliament building constructed after the formation of the 2nd Reich and the scene of the first major step towards dictatorship after Hitler being made Chancellor in 1933. As well as the easily recognizable, like the Brandenburg Gate, we will also visit what could be described as ‘ghost-sites’ like the nondescript car-park under which lie the remains of the Fuhrer Bunker. This was where Hitler killed himself with the Soviet forces almost upon him.  We will also see how the German state deals with its complex and dark past as we visit a number of memorials on our way including the Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe and the Memorial to the Nazi Book Burning in Babbels Platz. We will pass one of the original surviving sections of the Berlin Wall, the very symbol of the Cold War and discuss how, why and when it was constructed, what brought it down, as well as accounts of the brutality of the East German Border Guards and incredible stories of escape.  And as we head further Eastwards we will start to appreciate the architectural grandeur of what was Prussian and then Imperial Berlin.  Berlin is a city that is always becoming and on this tour you will get the chance to sample as many of the many Berlin's that there have been.  This Berlin history Group Tour Includes  Sites visited include: Alexanderplatz,  the Museum Island,  Humboldt University,  Bebelsplatz, Gendarmenmarkt,  Checkpoint Charlie,  Topography of Terror, Luftwaffe HQ, Fuhrer  Bunker, Memorial to the  Murdered Jews of Europe,  Reichstag Brandenburg Gate   This is a Walking Tour Pickups are on foot

We loved this food tour, it was one of our favorite activities in Berlin! Since it was just our group Liz was able to customize it to our liking. She took us to some of her favorite spots, places we never would have found on our own. We felt like locals and oh man was the food delicious! Liz was very entertaining and charming and even helped us navigate our way to our next activity. We loved every minute of the food tour and highly recommend Liz!
