This tour explores the years leading up to 1933 and the 12 years that Hitler spent in power between 1933 and 1945. The tour will use tourist sites relating to the third Reich to explain the rise of Hitler and the Nazis to power in 1933, their time of terror ruling over the German people during the 1930s as well as the Second World War and the eventual demise of the Nazis after Hitler's suicide.

Cold War Berlin

Explore Berlin's cold war history between 1945 and 1990 by travelling with me around some of Berlin's more interesting cold war sites. On this tour you will hear how Berlin was partitioned in 1945 into four sectors by the victorious allies after the German's defeat; see how it was divided into two by the Berlin Wall and existed as two separate cities until the fall of the wall in 1989. Hear the thrilling stories and visit the sites that made the TV screens in the 1980s. You will visit: Berlin Wall at Bernauer Strasse, Stalinallee in East Berlin, the Death Strip, Bornholmerstrass (where the 'wall came down in 1989'), Stasi Headquarters and Alexanderplatz.

The street art around Berlin is one of the defining aspects of the city today and evidence of it can be found everywhere.
