Berlin: Third Reich Small-Group Guided Tour

About this experience

About Berlin: Third Reich Small-Group Guided Tour This is a small-group walking tour of Berlin that traces the history of the Nazi regime across the city's central streets and landmarks. Over two and a half hours, a local guide leads groups through the sites where the Third Reich rose, operated, and ultimately collapsed, using 'Then and Now' photographs and maps to set each location in its historical context. The tour begins at Brandenburg Gate on Pariser Platz and moves through key sites connected to the Nazi period, covering the regime's seizure of power in the early 1930s, its wartime machinery, and the final days of the war in Berlin. Group sizes are kept small to allow for detailed discussion and questions throughout. What to expect Participants walk with a local guide through central Berlin, stopping at historically significant locations tied to the Third Reich. At each stop, the guide draws on documentary photographs and period maps to contrast how sites appeared during the Nazi era with their present-day form. The route covers the political and administrative heart of the regime, including sites connected to the SS, the Reich Chancellery, and the events of 1945. Tickets include entry to a museum and memorial along the route, the services of a local guide, and all 'Then and Now' photographic and map materials. An AB zone public transport ticket is not included but can be purchased during the tour if needed. The tour meets outside the Starbucks opposite Hackescher Markt S-Bahn station, though the starting point for the walk itself is Brandenburg Gate, Pariser Platz 1. Hackescher Markt and getting there Hackescher Markt S-Bahn station sits in the Mitte district, one of Berlin's most central transport hubs, served by S-Bahn lines S3, S5, S7, and S9 as well as tram connections.
