Insider Tours prides itself on its selection of guides such as Nigel Dunkley - former British Military attache in Berlin, or art historian Dr Scott Budzynski, or architect - Tarke Ibrahim, for each specialize in 20th Century Berlin and are able to provide their unique perspective based on professional expertise. One could partake in a 3rd Reich or Cold War Tour with each separate guide and receive a completely different tour based on academic approach. So should your interest be Speer's Berlin and plans for Germania, or Soviet Monumentalism, or the titanic struggle from Stalingrad through to the fall of the Reich's Capital - the 'Battle for Berlin', Cold War espionage i.e. Operation Gold or  secret Stasi operatives - rest assured our formidable guides are expert authorities.

Berlin is a remarkable city that really embodies the history and tumultuous struggles of the 20th century like none other. In many regards it is the voids and absence of sights and buildings that are as noteworthy as those visible. One seventh of the city was left standing come wars end, so too where once the Berlin Wall and death-strip divided Europe's largest metropolis - hardly anything remains today. Our tours retrace the ghost like remnants of these eras from near unknown war bunkers, tank traps and guard towers to the intriguing remains of state buildings used in construction of war memorials and the major ministries and projects of these most dire dictatorships:  Nazi Germany and the world's most Stalinistic regime in form of the GDR.

Former clients of this tour include the US and British forces, Nato, through to Tom Cruise.
