Really enjoyed our tour with Jonathan today! We went on "Spies & Escapes" and our group (there were four of us) was the only one on the tour. Jonathan had so much knowledge and we learned a lot about the Berlin wall and German history. Couldn't have picked a better tour - would definitely recommend!

Hear thrilling stories of successful escapes
Learn about the motivations and tactics of East German spies

Description
Walking along the former East-West border, you’ll hear stories of daring escapes and failed attempts. At the cost of their lives, East Berliners braved the border – the Wall, the bullets and the beds of nails – all for the sake of freedom.
You’ll visit ghost stations, abandoned buildings and the sites of escape attempts, and see the remains of the original Wall as well as a recreated part of it. Passing by the Stasi guard tower, your guide will reveal the motivations and tactics of East German spies.
To leave you on a lighter note, the tour will end at Mauerpark, one of Berlin’s best spots to chill on Sundays.
