Hello! I am Manuel, I was born in Stuttgart in the south of Germany, I spent my adolescence in Malaga to finally return to Germany, specifically to Berlin. From the first moment I felt fascinated by the intense history of this city. I hope that through my tours you understand and love Berlin as much as I do.

Tour description

During the Second World War, the world was divided into two blocks: capitalist and communist. Out of fear of atomic war, the USSR and the United States launched an ideological, economic, technological, artistic, educational war... the Cold War.
Berlin was a point of maximum tension, especially after the construction of the Berlin Wall, which became the icon of this historical period. Discover with us why the Wall of Shame was built, what it meant for families to be separated and what thousands of people were able to do to jump over the wall and start a new life.
We start at the Palace of Tears, where we sit comfortably and have a historical introduction, visit a ghost station, and at the Bernauerestrasse memorial we see the original wall and talk about its victims. We end at the East Side Gallery to enjoy urban art.
Book your place now and have a great time with us! We will discover:
What was the Berlin Airlift?
Why did the Soviets bring tanks onto the streets of Berlin in 1953?
How long did it take to build the Berlin Wall?
What happened to the subway after the wall was built?
How many people escaped from East Berlin?
How many sections of the wall remain?

IMPORTANT:

An AB zone metro ticket is required.
Group reservations of more than 6 adults, even if made separately, must pay €10 per adult at the beginning of the tour.
