We have taken several amazing tours with Context Travel over the years and our tour with Lauren of the Berlin Wall was one of the very best. Lauren’s historical knowledge and storytelling ability really made the 28 years of the Berlin Wall come to life and help us to understand the lives of the East and West Germans with greater context and depth. We also appreciated how Lauren could answer our questions on such a wide variety of topics! We would highly recommend this tour.

Don’t just take our word for it
Jochen gave an outstanding tour that brought the history of Berlin vividly to life. From the Berlin Wall and Brandenburg Gate to the ghost stations beneath the city, he combined deep historical knowledge with an engaging storytelling style that made the experience unforgettable. What stood out most was his exhaustive understanding of both East and West Germany and his ability to explain the geopolitical context — not only of the Cold War period, but also how that history still shapes the world today. He helped us see Berlin not just as a city of monuments, but as a place where history still echoes through everyday life. Highly recommended for anyone wanting a deeper understanding of Berlin and its significance.
