Overview
Embark on a private, full-day shore excursion from Warnemünde Port to Berlin, diving deep into the city’s riveting war history. With seamless pickup and drop-off at the port, this customized tour brings Berlin’s most iconic World War II and Cold War sites to life, led by a knowledgeable guide.
Tailored to your interests, the itinerary can focus on WWII landmarks, Cold War intrigue, or a combination of both for a well-rounded experience. Visit Hitler's Langemarck Halle, the stately Reichstag, and Brandenburg Gate, then retrace history at Checkpoint Charlie and remnants of the Berlin Wall. Explore the former Gestapo headquarters, uncover hidden Soviet espionage points, and learn about daring escapes and spy activity. With a mix of private vehicle and walking segments, your guide will share unique insights into Berlin’s complex past and its transformation to the vibrant city it is today.
Explore the chilling history of Hitler’s Bunker on a private WWII tour that takes you to the site of the Führerbunker, where Adolf Hitler spent his last days in 1945. This infamous underground shelter, located near today’s Potsdamer Platz, was a fortified structure deep below ground, part of a larger bunker complex designed to protect Nazi leaders from Allied air raids. Here, key decisions were made as Berlin fell, leading to the war’s dramatic conclusion and Hitler’s own demise. Although the bunker itself is no longer accessible, your guide will paint a vivid picture of its layout, the life inside its walls during those final days, and the impact of its legacy. With insights into Berlin's post-war transformation, this private tour provides a unique and deeply reflective journey through one of the most notorious locations of WWII.
10 minutes
Checkpoint Charlie
Visit Checkpoint Charlie on a private Cold War tour, and experience the iconic former border crossing that once divided East and West Berlin. Known as the setting for high-stakes confrontations, it was here in October 1961 that American and Soviet tanks faced off in a tense standoff, bringing the world to the brink of nuclear war. Your expert guide will walk you through the dramatic history of this checkpoint, from daring escape attempts to Cold War espionage. See original markers and reconstructions of the border structures, and learn about the intense political climate that made this one of Berlin’s most famous sites. Perfect for history enthusiasts, this tour brings to life the stories of Checkpoint Charlie’s role in one of the most charged periods of modern history.
15 minutes
East Side Gallery
On this private tour of the East Side Gallery, immerse yourself in one of Berlin’s most iconic landmarks. Stretching along a 1.3-kilometer stretch of the Berlin Wall, the gallery features over 100 murals painted by artists from around the world, capturing themes of freedom, unity, and the fall of the Wall. As you walk along this open-air gallery, your guide will share the powerful history of the Berlin Wall and the stories behind some of the most famous artworks. This experience offers not only a glimpse into the past but also a reflection on the enduring spirit of hope and change in Berlin’s history.
15 minutes
Reichstag Building
Explore the fascinating history of the Reichstag on this private tour, where you'll uncover its pivotal role in shaping modern Germany. From its construction in 1894 as the seat of the German parliament to its destruction by fire in 1933 and subsequent restoration, the Reichstag has witnessed key moments in history. Discover the building’s significance during both World Wars, the Cold War, and its symbolic rebirth after the fall of the Berlin Wall. Learn about its stunning glass dome, designed by Sir Norman Foster, offering panoramic views of the city. This tour offers a deeper understanding of Berlin’s political past and its journey toward unity and democracy.
10 minutes
The Holocaust Memorial - Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe
Explore the haunting Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe on a private tour, where stark concrete stelae stretch across a vast expanse in Berlin’s heart. Designed by architect Peter Eisenman, the Holocaust Memorial invites reflection on the atrocities of WWII and serves as a profound reminder of the six million Jewish lives lost. As you walk among the uneven, towering blocks, your expert guide will share the symbolism and historical context behind this powerful structure, offering insight into Germany’s ongoing commitment to remembering the past. This deeply moving experience allows for contemplation and a unique perspective on a pivotal chapter in world history.
15 minutes
Memorial of the Berlin Wall
Bernauer Strasse is a must-see stop on any private tour of Berlin’s Cold War history. This street once divided East and West Berlin, and today, it stands as a powerful reminder of the city’s turbulent past. During your visit, you’ll explore the Berlin Wall Memorial, which preserves remnants of the Wall, along with a watchtower and the preserved "death strip" that once separated families. Learn about Tunnel 29 and Tunnel 57—daring escape routes used by East Berliners to flee to the West—and discover the stories of those who risked everything for freedom. This poignant and thought-provoking site offers a deeper understanding of the Wall’s impact on everyday lives and the legacy of the Cold War in Berlin.
30 minutes
German Resistance Memorial Center
The German Resistance Memorial Center (Gedenkstätte Deutscher Widerstand) offers a powerful and moving insight into the courageous individuals who resisted the Nazi regime during its darkest days. Situated in the historic Bendlerblock, the memorial honors the men and women who risked everything to defy Hitler’s dictatorship, including those involved in the famous 1944 assassination attempt led by Claus von Stauffenberg.
Your private tour will take you through the center’s thought-provoking exhibits, which showcase the different resistance movements that arose within Germany—ranging from small, underground groups to high-ranking officials within the military and government. The memorial emphasizes the moral dilemmas faced by those who opposed the Nazis, detailing their actions, sacrifices, and the often tragic consequences they faced.
15 minutes
Soviet Memorial Tiergarten
The Soviet War Memorial in Tiergarten is a powerful stop on our Third Reich and Cold War tour, offering insight into Berlin’s complex and layered history. Built in 1945, shortly after the end of WWII, the memorial honors the Soviet soldiers who fell during the Battle of Berlin. Located in the heart of the Tiergarten, it stands as both a commemoration and a reminder of the Soviet presence in Berlin during the Cold War. Learn about the Soviet role in WWII, the memorial's symbolic significance, and how it became a focal point during the division of Berlin.
15 minutes
Prenzlauer Berg
On our walking tour, we'll visit the site of the former NKVD and Stasi prison on Fröbelstrasse—a haunting reminder of East Berlin’s oppressive surveillance state. Originally used by the Soviet NKVD in the late 1940s, the prison later came under control of the East German Stasi, the notorious state security service. Here, countless political prisoners were interrogated and detained under brutal conditions. This site provides a chilling glimpse into the tactics of intimidation and control employed during the Cold War era, offering an important perspective on life behind the Iron Curtain and the resilience of those who endured it.

Great Day in Berlin
Published on Sep, 2024
Even though we were hours away from Berlin everything went so smoothly! Our driver Peter did a great job getting us from the port to Berlin, all around Berlin and back to the port ahead of schedule. Our tour guide Nicholais was very knowledgeable, we gave him a wish list and we saw all of that and more.
Super Historical Tour of Berlin
Published on Jun, 2023
This tour was just super!!! We requested that our tour guide have a knowledge of World War II and the Cold War. Glen our tour guide was perfect! He exceeded all our expectations, and his knowledge was excellent. For myself, I learned a lot from Glen and I am very grateful! Again, this was a super tour and it is worth every penny and more!!!
Day trip covering historical Berlin
Published on Sep, 2022
Communication with the company was very easy. Our guide Cian, did an amazing job not only showing us around, but enhancing the stories as he is a student at the local university. Cian is fluent in English and German, which was extremely useful. Also, having a private vehicle was great! We would walk and meet the vehicle when needed.
Cian took us to many spots and explained the history of them, recommended a delicious bier garden for lunch, and ended the tour at a convenient spot to meet the vehicle.
Our drive was only 2.5 hours from port and we got to experience being on the Autobaun!
This was by far the best excursion of our trip, best price, and best experience of the vacation!
Wonderful Tour
Published on Jun, 2019
Totally worth the drive to see Berlin! We were met, as promised, by our driver Olaf, and taken to Berlin. Olaf was gracious answering all of our questions and had a great sense of humor! Heiko was extremely knowledgeable about Berlin and able to keep our 10 & 12 year old boys interested and engaged! You could tell Heiko was passionate about sharing good beautiful city with others! Thank you for memories that will last a lifetime!
