O wycieczce
Niegdyś serce żydowskiego życia w Niemczech, krajobraz Berlina zmienił się nieodwracalnie wraz z przejęciem władzy przez nazistów. W ciągu kilku lat najbardziej liberalne i metropolitalne miasto Europy zostało przekształcone w stolicę jednego z najbardziej destrukcyjnych reżimów w historii ludzkości: Trzeciej Rzeszy Hitlera, ale także miejsce narodzin potężnych form oporu - dużych i małych.
Dołącz do Walkative! Tours na trasie "Trzecia Rzesza Hitlera: Nazistowski Berlin i II wojna światowa", aby odkryć tę dramatyczną zmianę w historii miasta i prześledzić etapy powstawania Trzeciej Rzeszy aż do jej ostatecznej destrukcyjnej wizji.
Zapraszamy na wycieczkę Walkative!
Podczas tej wycieczki udamy się do dawnej dzielnicy żydowskiej i dowiemy się o kwitnącym życiu żydowskim przed 1933 r. oraz o tym, jak szybko zostało ono utracone. Zwiedzimy dawną dzielnicę ministerialną i Reichstag, omówimy machinę propagandową i gloryfikację Fuhrera, a także zobaczymy pomniki poświęcone grupom represjonowanym przez nazistów - od Romów i Sinti po homoseksualistów.
Po tej 3,5-godzinnej wycieczce zobaczysz, jak po dwukrotnej odbudowie po II wojnie światowej Berlin stał się miastem, którym jest teraz: nigdy nie ukrywając niczego o swojej makabrycznej przeszłości, ale otwarcie próbując naprawić i oddać szacunek ludziom, którzy cierpieli tutaj w tym czasie.

Heavy history made lively by Tina
Nazi Berlin has of course a very charged history, so the discussions, being in the actual places is heavy. But it is a necessity, we need to learn about what happened, how this happened. Tina is a nuanced guy, not afraid to lead the tough discussions and make us pause and think. Highly recommended.

Our Nazi Tour with Tina was one that we will take home with us. Tina is a passionate historian who is so happy to share accurate facts and interesting stories from another time. She kept the group moving and was very engaging. We felt very fortunate to have someone as knowledgeable and relatable as Tina. Don’t miss an opportunity to be on one of her tours.

The best walking tour/guide I've done
I just did the tour this afternoon with Jules, and hands down - the best tour guide I've had on a walking tour (and I've done many). She's a historian who specialised in this area of German history. Not only knowledgeable, but passionate, informed, engaging and clearly loves what she does and passing this on. You won't regret it - and the insights she has, you won't read about it in a guide book either! I've logged straight online this evening to share this review - that's how good it was.

3 tours gedaan!
Wij (2pers) hebben de welcome to Berlin tour gelopen via walkative met Dara. Dara heeft een aardig loop tempo. Wat voor deze groep prima was. Ook zijn praat tempo is snel, te volgen, maar snel. Hij is duidelijk gek op zijn vak. Dol op vertellen/praten! Geeft ook veel extra side informatie, erg boeiend. Ondanks zijn hoge praat en loop tempo liep de tour bijna een half uur uit. Wij (2pers) hebben met Will via Walketive de Communist & Socialist Berlin Tour gedaan. Will heeft er duidelijk veel verstand van en echt passie voor geschiedenis. Volgens de website van Walketive zou de tour tot 12.30 duren echter sloten we 13.20 af. Ook staat er niet in de omschrijving dat je AB ov tickets nodig hebt voor deze tour. Waar Dara de hele groep betrok als een deelnemer hem aantikte voor een vraag maakte Will het antwoord af ook als de rest inmiddels stond te wachten. Dit is eigenlijk de standaard met alle tours die ik gedaan heb, meer een groot conpliment naar Dara dat hij de hele groep betrekt. Wij (2pers) hebben de Berlin Under The Swastika gelopen via walkative met Campbell. Deze tour heeft de focus op de Nazi's en de Joden. Ook hier staat niet dat je een OV ticket nodig hebt maar is wel zo. De tour duurde 2 uur en 45 minuten. Was goed te volgen. Goed wandel tempo. Goed verhaal. Fijne verteller. Ik raad wel aan met de welcome to Berlin tour te beginnen.

An excellent tour with William!
On a hot afternoon in Berlin, William took us on a 3.5 hr. “traveling classroom” through Berlin. Despite the heat, he was high energy, interesting and so knowledgeable on a most difficult subject. He shared deep insights and the important history that lead to Hitler and the Third Reich’s rise to power. William encouraged “class participation” Each person in the group felt as though he was speaking directly to them in the way he imparted information and answered individual questions. If you take any of these “free” tours, be generous to your guide! They are the best!

Berlin under the swastika with Rob&Gilbert
This is a fantastic guided walk by a proper historian who clearly has a lot of passion about the history of the city. The tour gives a big historical perspective of the development of nazi thinking and how a democracy was subverted into a dictatorship as we seamlessly move from monument/statue/ building. Difficult topics covered with considerable thought. The 3 hours flew by and my kids who I had to bribe with a big ice cream to come on the tour with me were well entertained and educated by Rob and his friendly dog. Thanks

My wife and I have had many walking tours in Berlin. Jules is a super cool dude and quite possibly has the ability to be a great actress! She filled our entire afternoon with a stroll through the lives, loves and sorrows of the berlin story under the nazis. This tour is a must for anyone wanting to hear a real German tour guide bring to life the horrors of nazism and its impact on the world. Jules is great craic as we say in Ireland. Don't miss this tour.

Interesting, snowy tour with a great guide!
My girlfriend and I took the Berlin Under the Swastika tour on a very cold, snowy November Wednesday. Our guide Peter made us immediately feel comfortable in the small group with humor and a personal story tying him to the narrative. Throughout the tour, Peter involved the group by answering our questions and including the answers in the story he was telling. We learned a lot about the history of Jewish life, Nazism and WWII in Berlin. Peter is a good storyteller; he spoke clearly and not too fast. English is not our mother language and we could follow everything perfectly! It was no problem being out in the freezing cold with some Glühwein and a good story. After the tour, we got some good Christmas market, Grillwurst and dinner recommendations from Peter, of which we made good use (:

Chris - Canadian Chris - helped me understand a very complex history on lots of levels, while keeping up a friendly banter with lots of opportunities for questions. I was hoping to have time in the Jewish Quarter as advertised, but instead the focus was on significant monuments to explain the 3rd Reich, which was interesting but missed that core promise I was hoping for. But still a fascinating tour of the city to places I would not have discovered on my own.

Learning about fascist propaganda and ideology
Will was absolutely awesome. He studied the history of fascism and how the ideology takes a hold in a society, and how it is marketed through propaganda. His knowledge of how the Nazis thought through every single item of their public persona was excellent insight into the marketing and PR of authoritarianism. It was also great to learn about the general public and their interaction with the Nazi party, from the Jews, gays, and intellectuals who fled Germany to the school children who spit on Jewish victims of Kristallnacht. Nazism was about so much more than one man and it was a whole society that enabled it to happen. He covered the Jewish history of Berlin, war damage to buildings, the synagogue that survived, and so much more. Will was awesome and I highly recommend him and the “Under the Swastika” tour.

Best Tour Guides I’ve Had In Europe
Normally I’d book one tour per city but after how much I enjoyed the first tour I ended up doing three. In two trips around Europe there’s no doubt Jules, Will and Ru are the three best guides I’ve had. All of three incredibly knowledgeable, easily approachable and have clearly put in countless hours researching their tours. Shout out to Jules for running a session despite 90% of the group not turning up due to rain, Will for hanging around after to answer questions and Ru for the heartfelt reflections on a dark part of history and the world today.

Xavier's Swastika Tour
This was one of the more interesting tours I have taken. Xavier, a Frenchman in Germany, was very enthusiastic about the subject and obviously has a penchant for facts and dates! He took us to numerous stops and always had something surprising to show or say. The strange thing was that despite being a Swastika tour, we were never told anything about the Swastika itself. The tour is more about the persecution of the Jews, Gypsies, and others rather than about the inner workings of the Nazis. On the minus side, I wish the tour is a bit shorter, starts on time, and the frequent counting of the cohort so as to figure out the number of dropouts is avoided.

A+ for Will's "Berlin Under the Swastika" tour
Will’s “Berlin Under the Swastika” tour was smart, interesting, and cliche-free, and we were lucky enough to be a curious, interested, personable group full of engaged folks. I especially appreciated Will’s knowledge about, and the group’s interest in, German’s political circumstances, its intellectual history, Hitler’s status as a shaper of narratives and images (his playbook for the marketing of nationalism with its attendant bigotries and atrocities remains all too relevant today), and the treatment of queer people in addition to Jews, political dissenters, etc. Our group came away from our time with Will with a clearer vision of the conditions that contributed to the Holocaust and the behavior of a range of people who passed through that time—one that was rich in nuance and detail, neither avoidant nor simplistic. For that, and for setting the tone with his knowledge, decency, and openness, I am deeply grateful to Will.

Going the Extra Mile
Xavier was a fantastic tour guide. Every stop we made had a story, and the route he took us on was a cohesive narrative, starting with the history of Jews in Berlin, and ending with the fall of Berlin. Xavier stayed longer than planned to show us a couple more spots, was knowledgeable and engaging, and answered everyone’s questions. He remembered people’s names, and even sent me an email with recommendations on books/movie/media that were all relevant to the conversations we had on the tour. Would 100% recommend this tour, or any other tour Xavier offers, to anyone visiting Berlin.

Engaging and informative
We had a wonderful tour with Jules - she shared so much knowledge and history in a way that was engaging and easy to understand. We enjoyed our first tour so much (the welcome tour) that we went back for the Berlin under the swastika tour. It was worth going to both - we learned so much. Thanks Jules!!

Great experience with Chris (from Canada😉)
Although as Polish I know a lot about the tragedy of the IIWW Chris still managed to provide me with the unknown facts and in an interesting way showed me the Berlin's and Germans' perspective and the ways they try to handle with their history. Thank you for that!

Amazing tour
We had Ru as our guide and if it wasn’t for his great ability to explain we would have back out because it didn’t stop raining. He captured our attention with how fluently he explained history. At the same time a very impacting and overwhelming tour because all of the strong things that happened during this time.

Fabulous tour in the rain
We did the Under The Swastika tour today with Ru. Quite honestly if it hadn’t been for Ru’s knowledge, delivery and passion we would have bailed as it didn’t stop raining for the whole tour. Would wholeheartedly recommend for something different to the more touristy tour.

Thanks to Chris from Toronto
The tour with our giud Chris was amazing. As a German, it was very interesting to hear the "swastika story" in Berlin in English from him. Chris reported the story respectfully and objectively for all the participating nations and ethnic groups. With his sympathetic, open-minded manner he showed ous new places of the common history of our ancestors. Greetings from Potsdam.

Informative and Interesting
Jules our guide gave the best walking tour I’ve ever done. So informative and passionate, made walking around in the snow for three hours fun while learning so much about Jewish life in Berlin and the political context of the Nazi rise to power. Cannot tell if my previous review went through but she was AMAZING so just in case I’m writing it again. 100000/5 stars
