Berlin’s history is one of the most fascinating of the 20th century. Its streets bear witness to the remnants of a history that left its mark on the world. On this tour, we will explore the different layers of history in this complex city, from the German Empire to the dawn of the Third Reich, its disastrous consequences for the world, and the manifestation of the Cold War in the form of a wall that divided the city.

If you’ve just arrived in Berlin, this tour is our top recommendation.

About Tour Guide Celia M.

Dear travellers,

My name is Celia and for over 15 years I have been researching, guiding and teaching others about Berlin.

I specialise in German history and culture, particularly throughout the 20th century, with a special interest in German cinema and music. I offer private, bespoke tours tailored to visitors’ interests and needs. Understanding Berlin’s history is essential to understanding the history of Europe: from the rise and fall of the German Empire, through the 1920s and cabaret culture, to Nazism and the aftermath of World War Two with the division and Reunification of Germany.

Berlin today is the result of complex historical processes that make it a fascinating city.

Would you like to come and explore it? I can help you do just that. Tell me what interests you have and we can plan the route and focus on the topics you’d most like to explore.

Thank you for choosing my tours!
