The longest remaining section of the Berlin Wall is the East Side Gallery, an open-air art gallery. It features over 100 murals celebrating peace and freedom, a powerful symbol of the city's reunification.
Imagine standing where President Reagan famously declared, 'Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall!' Your local guide can take you to the Brandenburg Gate, sharing the impact of these words on Berlin's history.
Checkpoint Charlie was the most famous crossing point between East and West Berlin during the Cold War. It was the site of tense standoffs and dramatic escapes, a true icon of the divided city.
The area between the two barriers of the Berlin Wall was called the 'death strip.' This heavily guarded zone with watchtowers and obstacles was a stark reminder of the risks people took for freedom.

"Martin did a great job on our tour!! Extremely knowledgeable about the Cold War! If that’s what you want we highly recommend him. "
"Professional Miha was very professional and knowledgeable,he told me many history-related events of Berlin. Also, we talked about culture and other staff.Miha showed me around the old Berlin and he was really patient. He was just like a friend, although the weather wasn't so fine that day we still had a very warm talk.Thank you Miha!"
"Seth was the perfect tour guide for our Sunday morning bike tour! He was very knowledgeable about East and West Berlin facts and was able to span many different time periods! He told us about interesting city and wall stories and details we would not have known. The bike ride was such a great way to experience Berlin like the locals do! Consider hiring Seth if you want a chill ride full of info! "
"We did the children tour allong the wall with Uygur. We had our two children, aged 9 and 12, with us and had a wonderfull two hours. Uygur was nice, helpfull and really great at engaging the kids. One of the highlights was drawing with chalk on the wall. Highly recommend!!!"
"You can see Mr. Martin’s respect for his clients and his work through his appropriate attire and well-groomed appearance. We had a wonderful and productive 3.5 hours together. It goes without saying that he is knowledgeable and articulate, but beyond that, he is also a great listener — open-minded, candid, and genuinely interested in hearing from people of all backgrounds. Mr Martin is a chivalrous gent. Join his tour — you’ll have a great time!"
After exploring the Berlin Wall, grab a currywurst! This iconic Berlin street food became a symbol of the city's everyday life and resilience during the Cold War. It's a taste of local history.
