Tour Itinerary Your "operative" will take you to the Tiergarten, where British MI5 Agent Frank Foley secretly aided over 10,000 Jews to escape Nazi Germany. Visit the courtyard of the Wehrmacht HQ, where coup and assassination plots against Hitler backfired disastrously. See where the SS masterminded their first program of mass murder, the "euthanasia project". Explore the outwardly grand "Stalin Allee", showcase of post-war East Germany's communists, but scene of festering discontent in 1953. Find out about “Operation Gold”, a top secret CIA/MI6 spy tunnel and how a British double agent blew the whistle on the whole operation. On Bernauer Strasse, see where Berliners attempted audacious escapes under the Wall, trying to keep one step ahead of the hated East German secret police, the Stasi. The tour finishes at the infamous Stasi HQ – office of Markus Wolf, "the man without a face" and model for John Le Carre's spymaster "Karla". Explore the museum at the end of the tour; the spectre of Stasi informers and their controllers will haunt your very footsteps!

Since then we have established ourselves as the leading tour agency specialising in the English-speaking market. We're proud to say that our walks are among the most highly-regarded and popular sightseeing tours in Europe for independent travellers. Our tours aim to entertain and inform. You'll find nothing beats a walking tour for really experiencing all a place has to offer. Praise for our tours has come from all quarters: for example, Time Magazine credited us with a 'Best Sightseeing' reference in 2002, and other publications regularly list our tours in their guides (Frommers, Rick Steves, Let's Go, Lonely Planet, etc). “The tour was the highlight of our trip to Berlin. We feel we would have missed so much history and highlights of Berlin had it not been for the tour…” Kathy B. from California, 17th January 2005 Ask us a question
