Berlin: Cold War Guided Tour
Trace the transformation of Berlin, the epicenter of the Cold War, with an expertly guided tour of Berlin.
After WWII, Berlin was ripped in half; families and friends were separated by the Berlin Wall, a concrete fortress designed to keep citizens under control. Your guide will share the stories and secrets of the people behind the notorious "Iron Curtain".
Find out about the devious methods employed by the_stasi_ to keep the entire East German population under surveillance for 40 years and how the KGB supported its ‘comrades’ in their attempts to outwit the CIA and MI6.
See the last remaining stretch of the Berlin Wall along Bernauer Straße, the site of multiple escape tunnels connecting East and West Berlin, as well as the Admirals Palace, the site where the East German SED political party was formed.
You'll be surprised at how much history you can squeeze into the 3-hour Cold War-era guided tour of Berlin.
