Fascinating in-depth tour of Cold War period in Berlin!

Published on Apr, 2024

Fascinating and in depth tour of the Berlin Wall period (post WW2-1990). We visited a ghost train station, the palace of tears where families said their goodbyes, the Berlin Wall, as well as the museum showing the daring escapes and the recruitment of informants by the Stasi. Scott (from Scotland) is extremely knowledgeable about the wars and the Cold War period and was an attentive and interesting and engaging guide, having lived and worked as a guide in Berlin for several years. Highly recommend this fascinating tour! I honestly was bummed when we were finished.
