Sightseeing/City Tour Archaeological/Cultural Walking Tour

Overview

You will be met by your driver who will take you through the countryside of Germany and bring you to Berlin, where you'll meet your personal guide.

Your guide will be a real character of the city, someone who studied history or architecture has years of experience in guiding, and is eager to show you his hometown in a vivid and in-depth conversation. If there is something specific you would like to see or a part of history you are keen to learn more about, please let us know beforehand or tell your guide upon your arrival.
Your guide will organize the lunch break according to your wishes, please let him know when you arrive.

Your tour will take you to the Reichstag, the parliament building, where a fire, allegedly lit by a communist in February of 1933, served Hitler's pretext for a seizure of absolute power by means of an emergency decree.

Then you are on to the Soviet War Memorial, the burial place of the soldiers who took Berlin and the Reichstag.
You will walk along the East-West Axis to the Brandenburg Gate, the stage for Hitler's triumph in 1933.

Close by you will see the newly completed Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe.
After standing at the site of Hitler's former bunker, where he spent his last weeks, you'll get a closer look at important Nazi ministries such as Goeringa's Ministry of Aviation.

You will go to the Topography of Terror, where you will see the torture cellars leftover from the headquarters of SS and Gestapo.

You will enjoy the beautiful Gendarmenmarkt, a monument to Old Prussian tolerance, and travel from there to the Hausvogteiplatz, the former heart of the Berlin confection industry, largely in Jewish hands at the time and destroyed by the Nazis.

You will see the former Imperial Bank, with its massive and forceful Nazi façade, the storage location of gold stolen from raided enemies.

At the Humboldt University, you will learn about the burning of 20,000 books written by opponents of the regime and about students and professors who collaborated with the Nazi regime to remove Jewish colleagues and contributed scientific know-how to Hitler's plans.

You'll take a closer look at the Neue Wache, as well as the Lustgarten on Museum Island. Listen as your guide explains the fatal art policies of the Third Reich, before finishing up at the Jewish synagogue that, although burned in 1938, was partly saved by a courageous policeman and the fire brigade.

Your final stop is at the former epicentre of Jewish life (a Jewish cemetery), used at one time as a collection point for deportation to the camps.
