Discover East Berlin’s turbulent past on this private tour with me, a certified local tour guide. Explore an area which was once the capital of a totalitarian system and uncover what life was like behind the Iron Curtain.
In the German capital history has a way of following you around, and we are reminded that it was here, where the Holocaust was planned. And yet, right here, in Berlin, there are also the former houses of those who had the courage to risk their lives to resist the Nazis. This tour is about them.
Martin did a great job on our tour!! Extremely knowledgeable about the Cold War! If that’s what you want we highly recommend him.

An expert guide!
Martin was an excellent guide sharing his extensive knowledge about Berlin, GDR, the Cold War and any other questions we had about this country! He is friendly, engaging and considerate. Even though it was a bitterly cold morning as we walked around, we loved our time with Martin! Thank you and we hope to return for another tour.

German resistance tour
Martin is a fabulous and friendly guide, very passionate about his subject. We toured the city visiting sites linked to the German resistance, which I knew little about previously. I have come away wanting to understand more about this ‘forgotten’ history. I would thoroughly recommend this tour and wish I’d had more time to do another of Martin’s tours. Thank you!

absolut perfekt
Diese Führung zum Thema "Widerstand" war wirklich was besonderes. Wir haben sehr viel neues über den Kampf gegen das Nazi-Regim gehört. Martin ist ein äusserst kompetenter, aber auch witziger Gästeführer. Für meinen nächsten Berlinbesuch planen wir wieder eine Führung mit ihm.
Uneingeschränkte Empfehlung!

Wealth of broad knowledge
Martín was very generous with his time and able to explain in detail everything that we saw and questioned him on.
It was a pleasure to spend many hours with him over two days as he has a very warm personality. At our request, he brought his dog on the second day.
Very happy to highly recommend Martin as he has so much to offer on numerous subjects.
