Tour description
Join us to learn about the most revolutionary and controversial movements in world history: welcome to the Berlin Communist & Socialist tour. The goal of the tour is to give you a deeper understanding of movements that have changed and largely shaped world history from the end of the 19th century up to the present day. From Marx and Engels, through revolution led by Luxembourg and Liebknecht, the Cold War and the Berlin Wall up to leftwing movements today.
After this 3 hours Walkative journey, you’ll form a historical Gestalt of communist & socialist ideas! Both in Germany and Europe (and even beyond). Both before and after WWII. Long before and long after.

While the visited locations might not be the most impressive, the tour gives you a lot of knowledge about communism and socialism in Berlin (and Germany) and thereby puts the rise and fall of the DDR in a greater context.

Good enough tour, less content and history than most from this provider and guide seemed to be half remembering a lot of the content.

Great experience with Ruaridh. A very interesting tour away from the crowds, which helps you understand the political and social developments within Germany. Ruaridh did a great job to keep all the group engaged and the timings (going inside if it was cold, or finding a place to sit down when needed). We definitely recommend it!
Also, in case you are doubting to take an English tour, be assured he has great accent and it easy understandable.
