What To Expect

Mitte

Focusing on the rise and fall of Nazi Berlin, this tour visits the key sites from the darkest chapter of Berlin’s history. We will discuss how the Nazi seized power and established their brutal dictatorship (visiting the key sites realted to that) and look at how their instruments of terror and suppression (Gestapo and SS) functioned. There will be ample opputunity to learn about Berlin during the war itself and to look at the piecemeal destruction of the Capital of the Third Reich from air and land as the tide of war turned against the Nazi's. This tour walks through the Government district (Wilhelmstrasse), the nerve centre of the Third Reich. Visiting the former Reich Main Security Office, Headquaters of the SS and Gestapo, the former Luftwaffe HQ, The New Reichs Chancellery and Hitler’s bunker. Whilst the latter is now a “ghost site” we will visit the imposing bunker on Reinhardtstrasse, as well as over-looked sites related to the Battle of Berlin. We will discuss in some depth the Soviet assault on the city at the end of the Second World War and see the many scars that the city still bears. We will also visit several incredible memorials to the victims and victors of the Second World War. List of site visited: Brandenburg Gate Reichstag Air-raid shelter on Reinhhardt Strasse Moltkebrücke Site of the Kroll Opera House Soviet War Memorial Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe Site of the Fuhrer Bunker and New Reich's Chancellery Former Luftwaffe HQ Former Gestapo and SS HQ

Best Berlin WWII tour! Deep, insightful & expertly guided by Ken. Unforgettable history lesson—highly recommend! Ken is simply the best guide in Berlin—a master storyteller who brings Third Reich history to life with unmatched depth and gripping detail. His private tour doesn’t just show you Berlin’s key WWII sites; it immerses you in the chilling reality of Nazi Germany with precision and respect. From Hitler’s bunker to the Holocaust Memorial, every stop reveals shocking context most tours miss. Unlike other tours, the use of historic photographs—for before and now, turns ruins into revelations. I left with a clear understanding of not just what happened, but why. I travel a lot, and this was one of the best tours for a perfect blend of history and sightseeing.
Great historical tour with friendly and knowledgable expert!

Aaron was a great guide to the city and it’s history. He is extremely knowledgable and personable, friendly and flexible... an all round nice guy. It was a private tour for me, my father, brother and sister. We had already seen some sites before the tour so Aaron adapted the tour to us and also answered all our questions so knowledgeably. He used great visual aids with old photos to give us context and detail about certain facts and points of interest. He is enthusiastic and passionate about what he does and this comes through. We decided to take a toilet and refreshments with a couple of beers, he was great company, accommodating and easy going throughout. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide.
