Itinerary
Hotel Pickup & Personalized Briefing Our historian guide greets you directly in your hotel lobby and presents a customized itinerary based on your interests (WWII, Cold War, Jewish Berlin, architecture, politics, etc.).
Stand and admire probably the most iconic building in Germany. We will introduce you to the Hohenzollern's and share with you why the building was built, how it played a major role in the solidification of the Nazi Dictatorship in early 1933, how it was the scene of savage fighting in the culmination of the Soviet Battle of Berlin and every thing that happened to the building up to and after German Reunification.
Walk through the only Soviet Memorial that was located in West Berlin. We will look at its construction, the surprising origin of its building materials and discuss the symbolism and controversies associated with it.
One of the most important preserved sections of the Berlin Wall, now a memorial site. LearnHow the inner-city border was constructed, neighbor divisions, and first escape attempts.
One of the most iconic gates in Europe. Learn about why it was constructed and how it became a focal point for the different Berlins and Germany's that formed (and fell) after its construction, and an important symbol of divided Berlin during the Cold War. Don't be afraid to ask your guide for a photo!:)

About Berlin
Berlin is Germany's creative, open-minded capital, where landmarks of a turbulent history stand among art, green parks and legendary nightlife.
The Brandenburg Gate is the city's symbol, close to the glass-domed Reichstag and the Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe. Fragments of the Berlin Wall survive, most strikingly at the East Side Gallery, a long stretch covered in murals, and at the Bernauer Strasse memorial, while Checkpoint Charlie marks the most famous former crossing point.
Top-ranked sights in Berlin: Brandenburg Gate (Brandenburger Tor), Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe (Holocaust Memorial), Checkpoint Charlie.
