BERLIN WALL BIKE TOUR
Dicsover the History and Remnants of the Berlin Wall
TOUR DESCRIPTION

Berlin today may feel like very welcoming place, but for nearly 30 years it was a city divided.  The Berlin Wall holds a unique place in world history and this tour aims to explain not only what it was, but to put it in the wider context of The Cold War.  The differences between East and West Berlin are still visible, and our guides will set out the physical, political and psychological barriers that were part of everyday life for those living in Berlin during those divided decades.  You’ll see fascinating sites not usually on the tourist trail, will learn of spies and great escapes, understand Berlin’s unique position within the fall of communism, and have plenty of time for great photographs and insider tips from your guide that help turn a good holiday into an amazing one.  Whether you’re already a history buff or are learning about The Wall for the very first time, this tour is a must for any visitor to the German capital.
