Full description

Dive right into the history of Berlin. Take a walking tour of the Berlin Wall, starting from Bornholmer Straße, a place steeped in history: it was here that the first Berliners from East and West met and rejoiced together on the day the wall fell and the unified German nation was reborn. Walking along the former death strip, you will see traces of the wall, sometimes only detectable by experts. Discover how these traces are being documented, and learn the strange history of the cherry trees that grew the length of the wall. Visit the wall memorials, and the Mauerpark – today one of the capital's liveliest cultural and social centers. Relax over coffee along the way and make tracks finally to the Nordbahnhof, a former ghost station, where the tour ends.

Eine sehr beeindruckende und informative Führung, die unsere Familie noch zu weiteren Gesprächen (auch im Freundes- und Verwandtenkreis) veranlasst hat. Der Guide hat auf seine eigene lockere Art allgemeine Fakten perfekt mit einzelnen Geschichten verbunden, sodass einem sowohl die Wegstrecke als auch die Dauer der Führung wie im Fluge vergingen.

Wir waren nur zu zweit, also konnten wir alles sehr gut nachvollziehen u. verstehen. Es ging immer am Berliner Mauerweg entlang, die Informationen waren sehr umfangreich und wurden anhand von Bildern und den Resten der Originalschauplätze nachvollzogen. Wenn man sich die Infos alle selbst erschließen würde (durchaus anhand zahlreicher Infotafeln auch möglich) wäre es viel langwieriger.

Sehr informative und kurzweilige Tour. Die Frau die die Tour führte war einheimische Berlinerin und konnte ihre eigenen Erlebnisse zur Mauer und Maueröffnung sehr lebendig in die Führung einbauen. Die Tour war auch für Kinder und Jugendliche sehr interessant und geeignet.
