About This Tour

Join this expertly guided walking tour of Berlin and step into the heart of the Cold War conflict that defined an era. You will see the Berlin Wall and the powerful remnants of the military standoff between the Western and communist worlds. With your knowledgeable guide, explore hidden sections of the deadly Death Strip, stand beside a preserved guard tower, and delve into the mysterious underground 'Ghost Stations'. Stand above the sites of escape tunnels and hear the gripping tales of those who risked everything to create them. Uncover stories of espionage and the intense face-offs between the CIA and KGB in this geopolitical flashpoint. Learn about the influential leaders and pivotal events that kept the world teetering on the edge of nuclear war for decades.
