About this activity
Before World War II ended, it was already evident that Berlin would be the centre stage for the growing cold war between the Western Allies and the Soviet Union. The Berlin Wall, erected by the East Berlin government on August 13, 1961, ended the astonishing situation that had persisted for decades in which a single city merged the capitalist West with the communist Soviet sphere-of-influence.
Learn about the details of the structure from its inception as a barbed wire fence put up overnight to its final form as an advanced multi-wall system. Focusing on the global clashes of power centering around the wall, from shocking espionage stories to moments in which both sides braced for World War III, this private Berlin Wall tour is certainly most thrilling.
Visit sites in East Berlin that reveal the unique everyday world of socialist East Germany.
Visit the Berlin Wall structure, one of the Guard towers, the important check points, the ghost stations in the middle of the city, refugees stories and many personal engrossing real life stories on both sides of the Wall.
