Come with us and learn more about the all day life, products, architecture, cultural life, prices, problems and joys. This tour will provide you with an insight on life behind the Iron curtain. Thereby the focus is not only placed on the difficulties and horrors but also on peoples lifes and personal stories. After hearing about the allday life in theory we will take you to a unique East-Berlin restaurant where we will enjoy some good East German beers and a snack.
After we pick you up at your accommodation in our berlin trails bus we will head to the Eastern districts of Berlin. All along our tour we will get to admire typical Eastern architecture, from the panel constructions in the far East to the last European Boulevard that has been built in the heart of Berlin, the Berlin wall and cross the famous Checkpoint Charlie. Thereby we hear about the events that lead to the construction of the Wall in 1961 and its fall in 1989. Of course we will hear some sad stories of people who tried to escape in different ways during those 28 years. On our tour through the East we will also get to see the former Ministry of State Security and learn about the extensive system of monitoring they applied in order to control peoples life. However, the aim of the tour is not only to show the horrors of the Iron Curtain but to also give an insight on the all day life made in GDR - the products, specialties, places, prices, nightlife, culture, peoples difficulties and joys. After about 2hrs of sightseeing we will therefore take you to a unique and exciting East Berlin restaurant (Speisegaststätte) where you can try some typical East German snacks and brews. Our local guides will provide you with an authentic and interesting look into life under the socialist regime with all its aspects, positive as well as negative.
