Tour description

The history of Berlin can become a very complicated subject.  The goal of this tour is to break down the basics of Berlin history.  I want you to walk away from this tour with a basic understanding of this city, and a better understanding of Germany.  

Some topics that we will cover:

-Prussia and the Prussians
-Friedrich the Great
-Nazi book burning
-The Berlin Wall
-The history of refugees in Berlin
-Hitlers bunker
-The Memorials to the victims of Nazism
-The best free museums in Berlin
-Cultural highlights of Berlin

I try to keep this tour under 2.5 hours, and I try to keep it under 30 participants (some companies have up to 50).  This is a basic tour, but feel that there is something for everyone!
