Walk Berlin’s Third Reich and Cold War landmarks in two focused hours, from Brandenburg Gate to Checkpoint Charlie, with an English-speaking guide.
“The tour was easy to find since the guides had their pink umbrellas. Checking in with the tickets was also a seamless process. Our tour guide, Mikhail, was very knowledgeable and engaging. We learned a lot about Berlin, and appreciated how he connected history to the present. His use of historical images at certain stops also helped contextualize where we were standing and what had happened there. Seeing where Hitler’s bunker stood was unreal. The two hour timing is perfect, and the ending by Checkpoint Charlie makes good sense.”

Although we had visited some of the sites before, Jasper gave us a deeper appreciation of Cold War Berlin.”
