Definitely worth your time!

Germaine_C, Jul 2025

We did a 3-hour walking tour with a very knowledgeable guide, Tina! Tina is a natural storyteller and we truly enjoyed listening to her share more about the historical accounts of the Cold War. Tina is clearly passionate about history and the tour with her deepened our knowledge of the lived experiences of the people in East and West Germany during the Cold War. Highly recommended!

Toni was wonderful. His calm informative demeanor was refreshing & educational. He’s a great guide and the fact that he was a child during the Cold War gave us some interesting insights
