Berlin WWIi history tour with Paul - July 2025 - My wife and I have had a wonderful visit to Germany, mixing in a beautiful bike ride along the Elbe river, as well as touring some of the amazing historic sites in the region. On our visit to Berlin, we were really interested in learning more about WWII history. The Birchy’s Private Berlin WWII tour was perfect. We met our guide, Paul, near the Brandenburg gate, and we subsequently walked to a number of WWII historical sites around the city, We enjoyed the entire tour - including seeing the main historical sites in Berlin, but also learning so much from our guide Paul, who was well versed in the region’s history. He took us to all the main sites, he was well versed in WWII history and he took the time to answer our questions.

Cairan is an AMAZING guide for the Private Behind the Berlin Wall and Cold War Berlin Tour!!!! - Cairan is the best tour guide. For the private tours, he picks you up at your hotel and makes a personalized start to the tour. He times the tour so you’re in every important place at a time that is the least busy and makes the most sense for timing of the tour. He shows you pictures taken by his mother during the 70s-80s. He tells the stories of people escaping the east, the escape attempts, and the people who didn’t see loved ones for decades when they either escaped or got trapped in either the east or the west. He shows you so many things that aren’t common knowledge. It is so interesting that you forget you’ve been walking for a long time. But, Cairan doesn’t let the group get too tired. He pauses in the middle for a rest break at a cafe with fantastic banana bread and cinnamon rolls. The tour is historical, personal, political, and architectural. I’ve never been on a better tour or had a more informed guide. I am HIGHLY impressed by this tour and by Cairan. I recommend both. Choose this and you will not regret it!!!!

Excellent Tour and Well Worth It! - Our family (2 adults and children 12 y.o. and 15 y.o.) enjoyed this tour very much. Kirin was an excellent guide and incredibly knowledgeable about the history of the Berlin (and so much more). My husband had booked this tour so I went into it not knowing what to expect. He told us the tour would be 3.5 hours (closer to 4). I have to be honest that I am not a huge history buff and thought that it might be a "very long" 3.5 hours, but the time went by very quickly and the tour was so fascinating. It was the end of January so quite cold but we stopped in some cafes along the way to warm up. My 15 year old really enjoyed it, my 12 year old was a little overwhelmed but still found it interesting. You cover a lot of ground and definitely get your moneys worth (we chose the private tour). I highly recommend this tour, you learn so much! And I would definitely do another tour with Kirin.

"Tear down this Wall" was a good thing - Learned so much on this tour. The Guide was very pleasant and knowledgeable. Due to my age, I related to the history of the Wall, alot of it occurred "in my days".

Berlin Wall Walking Tour - Aurel was a very knowledgeable guide and made this tour quite interesting. He did a great job explaining what the area was like during the Cold War as well as references to when Hilter was in power. It was a lovely history lesson we especially enjoyed his personal connection in a story about his grandparents. It made the tour even more meaningful. We highly recommend this tour. There was a lot of walking but the pacing was great and we also did take a train to one of the areas.
