Hello! I'm Rafa, a historian and tour guide since 2013. I was previously a guide in Barcelona and Prague, but I've been living in Berlin for 4 years now. I love my job and I'm passionate about history, especially about this crazy city. With me you can expect an entertaining and complete tour, but without hiding the horrors of the country's history. Don't let me say it, you can see the recommendations of other tourists in the reviews 🙌🏻 I will make the city mean much more than a succession of grey monuments and empty recommendations. You will leave with more than just a tour, I give you a digital guide of personal recommendations, including books, movies and a map of Berlin to get the most out of it! If you want to follow my adventures, I recommend following me on social media @rafaberlintours
Embark on a unique tour and discover how the Berlin Wall and the Cold War shaped the fate of millions and shaped the modern world, on a journey that reveals the secrets and tensions of a city divided between two powers.
Imagine walking through a city that was the epicentre of the Cold War, a conflict that shaped the world as we know it today. Berlin was not only a witness but also a protagonist of a battle of ideas and policies that divided the planet into two rival blocs, pitting the free world against communist power. Years of intense tensions were experienced here, where every street and corner of the city reflected the rivalry between the superpowers, a confrontation that affected the lives of millions in Europe and beyond.
The Berlin Wall did not just separate families and friends; it was a symbol of the ideological divisions that still, in different ways, mark our times. By knowing this history in depth, we can better understand the roots of current conflicts and the global challenges we continue to face, from diplomatic tensions to the fight for freedom in different parts of the world.
The fall of the Wall in 1989 was a triumph of hope over fear and an example of how the power of the people can break down any barriers imposed by governments. This event transformed the political map of the world and teaches us valuable lessons about peace, unity and the role of the citizen in history.
How will you find me? Arrive 15 minutes early, and you'll see me with a yellow umbrella! Easy! I'll also be wearing a badge with my name (Rafa) around my neck.
Free tours do not have a set price, instead, each person gives the guru at the end of the tour the amount that he or she considers appropriate (these usually range from €10 to $50 depending on satisfaction with the tour).
