Built in the second half of the 15th century, the Steintor ("Stone Gate") is a perfect example of late Gothic brick architecture common in the areas formerly known as Prussia. Only one of the city's three elaborate gates has survived to this day. This picturesque city gate is made up of two towers: die Pulver- und Hungertürme ("the Gunpowder- and Hunger Towers").

Such an incredible experience! Everyone visiting Berlin should experience an underground tour with…read morethis group. Martina was our tour guide for Tour M and she was engaging, knowledgeable, friendly and fun! She made the tour interesting and was happy to answer any and all questions. They offer a bunch of different tours which cover different topics/aspects "Underground Berlin". We chose Tour M because it focused on the history of the Berlin Wall which we were interested in knowing more about, but there are other tours available that focus on other aspects, such as bunkers, WWII, etc. Be sure to read through what's available before you schedule your tour to ensure that you're signed up for the topic that interests you most. My husband and I had very little knowledge of the Berlin Wall and the history behind it prior to this tour. We left feeling incredibly informed yet hunger for more knowledge! Martina recommended a few movies and documentaries to watch for more information about the wall and we fully intend to watch them when we get back home. Thanks for an interesting and enjoyable experience! Next time we're in Berlin, we'll come back to experience a different tour with you.

A country with so much history and interesting past the Berliner Wunterwelten is a must see.

I was wearing shorts and a small long sleeve which really didn't make me feel comfortable because this place is seriously seriously cold. I asked the guide if it gets any hotter in the summer time and he says it stays this cool. So be warned bring a jacket when you come here because the whole tour is literally under the streets of Berlin! The guide we got was not from Germany but from another country and spoke English quite well. The place is filled with many cool things to see and also the glow in the dark room is pretty awesome. I didn't even know they invented that kind of thng so long ago! Very factual tour and with many photos and items that are from that time period. Yes we aren't allowed to take pictures soo they can keep all these items for the next generation! I'm glad I actually went to this place and got to listen to this tour. It is a little bit long but if you have time check this place out, I really loved it and you probably will if you want to see what would happen if the bunkers.

This is a complete free activity unless you join a tour. There are plenty of materials to read, buttons to press and listen to information, and things to see.

Yelp Review 2023 #300…read more "Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall!" US President Ronald Reagan Berlin Wall was built to separate East (German Democratic Republic supported by the Soviets) and West Germany (Federal Republic of Germany) in 1961. It's a 96 mile heavily guarded concrete wall about 13 feet high splitting the city center so that people from the East won't come to the West due to political and economic differences. There's not a doubt building a wall is alienating. Friends and families got separated by it. Soldiers and watchdogs were put in place to prevent people escaping but some people were still able to get to the West by building a tunnel but most people didn't make it across and lost their lives. Gorbachev was in power of the Communist Party in the Soviet Union in 1985 and things started to dismantle. The wall finally fell in 1989. Some parts of the wall still remain standing and murals have been painted on parts of the wall. The most famous mural is "The Kiss" by Dmitri Vrubel of Leonid Brezhnev (General Secretary of the Soviet Union at the time), and Erich Honecker (General Secretary of the Socialist Unity Party of the GDR) kissing - the socialist way of greeting. You can also spot a Banksy. Keep your eyes peeled since it's not a big and colorful piece. It's free to walk along and see the Berlin Wall remains.

Scammed out of 20 euros. Paid for a pub crawl around Berlin and was notified at the first pub by…read morethe bartender that the crawl was actually cancelled due to not enough people signing up. The guide eventually came to the pub to also apologize in person and talk me through the refund process. The guide said it would only take 2 days to process the refund, however there was never a refund issued. Original Berlin Tours did not respond to my WhatsApp messages and emails, seems like they are disinterested in their reputation. Don't pay for a tour with this company, so many more out there that are better!
