What's included in the package

Itinerary

Memorial of the Berlin Wall

One of the most incredible sites related to the Berlin Wall and the scene of tragic loss and brilliant escapes. The memorial itself is over 1km long and includes the only preserved complete cross-section of the Berlin Wall and Death-Strip.

Checkpoint Charlie

The most famous of all the Check Points it was the scene of many failed and successful escapes and also an incredible face-off between the American and Soviet forces in the Autumn of 1961.

Topography of Terror

The section on Niederkirchnerstrasse is the only surviving fragment of the wall in this part of Berlin. It is right next to the former-Luftwaffe Headquarters which was used during the East German Period as the House of Ministries. It is also the site of one of the more incredible escapes into West Berlin.

GDR Watch Tower

Visit and possibly ascend the last of the "BT - variant" watchtowers that used to surround West Berlin. A rare survival saved thanks to a private initiative.

Admission Ticket Included

Potsdamer Platz

See how a desolate piece of land in, and also bounding, the death-strip has developed into a high-rise business and entertainment quarter. The rebirth of re-unified Berlin before your very eyes.

Cairan is an was a fantastic guide. He made this tour the highlight of our trip. He had so many stories and knowledge. The tour covered so much with elements of humour and also some parts very moving with the individual stories of East Berliners who lost their lives. Would recommend to anybody vi...
