Tour M |
Nick, the tour guide and was explaining how the Berlin wall split families on both sides of the wall. This was a 2hr tour and offers countless historical insights, but this tour of the Berlin Underground was an experience like no other. The tour, organised by Berliner Unterwelten, took us on a gripping journey beneath the Berlin Wall, revealing hidden secrets and untold stories of the city's past.
Nick gave a history lesson from the end of the WW2 till the fall of the Berlin wall and it was done in 2 parts. The 1st part of the tour was done at our current location, moving through tunnels, bending around corners. Nick explained that the tunnels bend left to right around huge columns to prevent bomb blast during WW2 from killing many people.
We were not allowed to take photos inside the tunnels.
