PRICE: $23
per person
Step into the shadows of the Cold War and uncover the city where history was divided by concrete, barbed wire, and fear.
On this immersive Berlin tour, follow the true stories of spies, informants, and daring escape attempts that played out along the Berlin Wall. Discover how ordinary people risked everything to flee the East — through tunnels, over rooftops, and across death strips — while the Stasi, East Germany’s notorious secret police, watched from the shadows.
Walk the grand, imposing boulevard of Karl-Marx-Allee, once designed as the ultimate socialist paradise, and decode the propaganda hidden in its monumental architecture. Stand where the 1953 workers’ uprising erupted, shaking the foundations of the communist regime and changing German history forever.
Stroll alongside the iconic East Side Gallery, where the Berlin Wall was transformed from a symbol of oppression into the world’s longest open-air art gallery. Feel the pulse of the former East at Alexanderplatz, surrounded by classic GDR architecture that still tells the story of life behind the Iron Curtain.
This is Berlin raw, divided, dangerous — and unforgettable.
Not just history. A city that lived under surveillance, rebellion, and hope.
