Memorial of the Berlin Wall
On this private walking tour, delve into the gripping history of Bernauer Strasse, a pivotal site of the Cold War and the Berlin Wall. Explore the Cold War Memorial, where a preserved section of the Wall stands alongside the Chapel of Reconciliation, offering a powerful reflection on the city’s painful division. Learn about the daring escape attempts, including the famous Tunnel 57 and Tunnel 29, underground passageways used by East Berliners to flee to the West. These tunnels became symbols of resistance and courage, with Tunnel 29 famously leading 29 people to freedom in 1962. Your guide will share compelling stories of the individuals who risked everything for a better life, providing an in-depth look at how the Wall affected families, communities, and the broader Cold War narrative. This tour offers a deep, emotional journey through one of Berlin's most significant historical landmarks.
On this private walking tour, visit the Tränenpalast (Palace of Tears), a former border crossing point at Berlin’s Friedrichstrasse, which was a key site during the Cold War. This building was where East Berliners said emotional farewells to loved ones as they crossed into West Berlin, with heartbreaking scenes of separation. The Tränenpalast also played a role in espionage, as it was a hotspot for spies attempting to cross between East and West, using clever tactics to avoid detection. Today, the Tränenpalast houses a museum that details the history of the Berlin Wall, border control practices, and the spy networks operating on both sides of the divide. Through moving exhibits and stories, you’ll gain insight into the human cost of the Wall and the thrilling, dangerous world of Cold War espionage. This stop offers a powerful perspective on Berlin’s divided past and the lengths to which people would go to escape or gather intelligence.

5.00We did a 3-hour walking tour with a very knowledgeable guide, Tina! Tina is a natural storyteller and we truly enjoyed listening to her share more about the historical accounts of the Cold War. Tina is clearly passionate about history and the tour with her deepened our knowledge of the lived experiences of the people in East and West Germany during the Cold War. Highly recommended!

5.00Informative, well organised and fun tour of Cold War Berlin focusing on the Berlin Wall. Would not hesitate to recommend. The guide, in particular, was a highlight. Glen conveys his wealth of knowledge in an easy way but is well able to answer questions looking for more information. He is clearly passionate about his subject.
