Itinerary
This is our meeting point.
From Potsdamer Platz, we will see a memorial to the American journalist Varian Fry and then proceed to the German Resistance Memorial at the Bendlerblock. This is the site from which Operation Valkyrie was directed and a memorial that now commemorates all Germans who opposed and fought against Nazism.
This station, of which a ruined original part remains, was one of the starting points for the deportations of Berlin's Jews. From there, we will take a train to reach Berlin's Jewish quarter.
We will tell you about the Jewish community in the 19th and 20th century and the history of the synagogue.
We will speak about different institutions which used to be in this street, as a school for Jewish girls and an orphanage in the Nazi Time.
We will see the old Jewish cemetery and a "Sammellager". The place where Jews were detained before their deportation.
The Museum tells the story of the workshop. The owner of the small factory, Otto Weidt, employed mainly blind and deaf Jews here during World War II. They produced brooms and brushes. Otto Weidt tried to protect them. You will listen to a story about braveness and humanity.
We end our on the market place.

Very informative guided tour with Martin. The choice of sites is very judicious; this allowed us to have a visit that was both dense and fluid: Martin is captivating! He is also very competent, attentive, and knows how to give a fair opinion at times that helps to refine one's perspective on history. We highly recommend this tour! Thank you very much!
Fascinating walk with Martin!
Thanks to our guide Céline who was involved, professional, and very friendly. She did not hesitate to answer all our questions. It was not monotonous and flat like some tours, but her energy and knowledge allowed us to have a good time and learn more about this dark era. We are satisfied and we recommend this tour!
Céline was very nice, friendly, passionate, and knew how to share her knowledge with us for 3 hours
Thank you to Natacha, Marie, and Martin for these three days of interesting and intense visits. We took three tours (East Berlin, the must-sees, and Berlin under Nazism) and we are not disappointed. We will return to Berlin.
Great ride with Martin! A must to relive (a little) the unspeakable. Congratulations Martin and good luck. Yann

Excellent visit. Thanks to Martin for his clarity and professionalism. We will remember it very well for a long time.
Thank you for the information transmitted with a very accurate tone and posed on such a subject. Travelling to different places where historical events have taken place contributes a great deal and helps us to represent historical events.
Visiting the site and knowing what happened there is pure pleasure. We made three visits the essentials of Berlin, Berlin and Nazism Berlin under the GDR. The guides were passionate and exciting. It was interactive and pleasant.
All previous positive comments are correct. These comments made me want to visit and I am not disappointed. It is a real pleasure to listen to this exciting guide. You can't see time going by.
A very informative visit thanks to Arthur’s explanations which during 3 hours of visits told us “East Berlin” between stories and anecdotes. The best way to understand this part of the city
This visit with our guide Jean-Charles was just exciting! The children loved our second, passionate about the history of the Second World War even from the age of 11. So you can do it with children! The tour is really rewarding and you learn a lot by having a good time and discovering the city of Berlin
Great time shared with our guide Jean-Charles! Very interesting and accessible for all! Thank you for this visit of 3 hours full of history , do not hesitate!
Guided tours to do absolutely when you come to Berlin for the first time. We did "Berlin under Nazism": an atypical tour of Berlin from the angle of Berliners' life under the Third Reich. Then "Les Must-sees" which allows a first approach to the main monuments of Berlin and their history. All this accompanied by Céline, an extraordinary guide and storyteller, passionate and exciting!
Lots of interesting information, professionalism and seriousness. The comments showed a complex, not a cartoonish, view of history. Interesting to understand how each country writes its "national novel".
The Martin guide was great: exciting enthusiastic enthusiast. He knew how to communicate his passion for history and we learned a lot! Good job!
Excellent historical visit in the footsteps of Nazism in Berlin. The guide was exciting (and passionate), I recommend this agency and their visits, I made two.
Super walk with Jean-Charles, passionate and friendly guide. Lots of knowledge and stories. I highly recommend it.
We took part in two visits, Berlin under Nazism and East Berlin, with Martin, a passionate and exciting guide, as well as being very friendly. We enjoyed these two mornings so much that we piled up for a third visit, devoted to street art and alternative Berlin. We highly recommend these tours, which allowed us to learn more about Berlin’s history and its richness by letting ourselves be taken on board by the guides’ explanations.
Thank you very much for this lively and pointed visit on Nazism. Our guide Martin managed to captivate us while passing on his passion for this city more than rich in history! Strong advice.
For my part I did with Anne , very interesting the 3 hours passed very quickly.Anne answered all the questions, we move a lot without being bored.perfect for a family.Break 10 years
Beautiful experience on the 3 Raich. SUELI our friendly, engaging and very prepared guide led us to the discovery of that time. If you visit Berlin turn to them you will not regret it I would say that it is a must-see to better understand this wonderful capital .Bravi !!!
Enlightening, exciting and informative, Jean Charles has led us through the throes of this history. Thanks to him for being a great guide!
Martin our guide was at the top during this visit We appreciated both the places but also the comments I recommend this activity
Martin is a great guide! The 3 hours passed too fast, he is passionate and exciting 😉 We loved our visit. I recommend 100%, feel free!
We took this tour accompanied by Martin who proved to be an outstanding guide who knew the history of the city and the various strongholds at his fingertips. The experience is immersive and I recommend it to anyone who wants to know more about the influence of war and Nazism on Berlin.
Excellent guide in his explanations. Took the time to explain. Knew how to show us the essentials and interest us with clear and remarkably documented presentations. I can only recommend its accompaniment for this immersion in this very contemporary history
Thank you Martin for this exciting visit! We learned bp about that dark period in Berlin... Thanks also to Catherine for such an exciting visit to East Berlin. Discover the Wall and the lives of Berliners during these years. Go on!
We took a guided tour with Jean-Charles whom I highly recommend. He offered us a very informative and sensitive tour. Thank you very much!
Very good experience with our two teenagers. Jean-Charles led this visit with seriousness and dynamism. To be recommended without hesitation
Ariane was a very interesting Guide, very structured, answering all our questions with enthusiasm and taking us to places that would not necessarily have gone. Emotion at memorials near the Philarmonic.
Visit the saschenhausen camp with Arthur Very interesting and with anecdotes. The visit is long but it passes rather quickly. Too bad we didn’t have time to see everything! To do with this French Guide because for visits the exhibitions are in German or English not a word in French!
Very relevant and well thought out circuit. We discovered the places in the historical context of the time and the words were appropriate. Many questions and answers answered. Excellent Guide.
Great visit with Jean Charles which is exciting. Many thanks for these historical details. We really advise this theme.
Céline the Guide of 20 July 2024 Visit to the concentration camp Very happy with his teaching I recommend you there mina and Karim see you soon
I would advise berlin the must-sees at the beginning of the stay.this really gives an idea of the next places to visit outside the visit. Then the visit on the 3rd reich is super interesting And the last one I did (authentic saloon) gives us another look at the city with street art, The 3 guides I had are at the top (jean-charles, sandra and natacha). They know their city very well.
Very friendly and very interesting French guide. Small group and smooth, perfect Berlin city tour under the sun
