Do you remember where you were when the Berlin Wall finally fell? Join us for this fascinating virtual insight into life on both sides of the Iron Curtain. At the Berlin Wall Memorial you will get a glimpse of just how physically intense this division was, affecting the lives of thousands of East and West Berliners for 28 years. Wander along the famous Bernauer Strasse, where the Wall and former death strip were constructed, and Berliners attempted treacherous escapes from their apartment windows. Discover escape tunnels and learn about the Stasi, the East German secret police, as your guide takes you into the depths of this incredibly recent past.
This is a private live virtual tour. Our professional, local guide will be showing you Berlin’s most fascinating sights in real time, directly from the streets of Berlin. You will be connected via video call and you can then explore the city together. With your experienced guide you will see more than just the Berlin of today, you’ll also get a glimpse back in time because each tour is complemented with an excellent selection of multimedia. You will be shown historic photographs and videos to help with explanations, stories and the historical context of Berlin's incredible and turbulent past. You can’t get any closer to history without a time machine!
The entire tour is designed to be as interactive as you desire. You can ask questions, you can request to go back and look at something again, you have all the freedom and participation of a private walking tour, all from the comfort of your own home.
The video calling software used for the tour is called Zoom. You will need to have it downloaded on your laptop, tablet or cellphone – with a connection to speakers or headphones – in order to participate in the tour. Also, remember to keep an eye on the time difference when choosing a time for your private virtual experience, as all times stated are in Berlin time!
