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

Tour description

Embark on a unique tour and discover how the Berlin Wall and the Cold War shaped the fate of millions and 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 epicenter of the Cold War, a conflict that shaped the world as we know it today. Berlin not only witnessed but also played a central role in 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 raged here, with every street and every corner of the city reflecting the rivalry between the superpowers, a confrontation that affected the lives of millions in Europe and beyond.

The Berlin Wall not only separated families and friends; it was a symbol of the ideological divisions that still, in different forms, mark our times. By understanding 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 Berlin Wall in 1989 was a triumph of hope over fear and an example of how the power of the people can break down any barrier imposed by governments. This event transformed the world's political landscape and teaches us valuable lessons about peace, unity, and the role of citizens in history.
