Hundreds of people walk past a green door in the Gesundbrunnen underground railway station, unaware that, behind it, lies a subterranean labyrinth full of history just waiting to be experienced. Don your hard hat and head down beneath the city on this intriguing tour.

The former STASI prison will give you a real insight into life in former East Germany so it is highly recommended. Much of the building is just as it was when it functioned as a prison with gun towers and barbed wire around the perimeter. Inside there are interrogation rooms, some of which have the same wallpaper and furniture, and cells. Many of the guides are former inmates so there is a real feeling of history coming alive. All in all, a grim but essential experience for students of the Cold War.

The Checkpoint Charlie Museum is named after the famous crossing point on the Berlin Wall, which was supposedly the "best border security system in the world". Students can learn about the ingenious ways people snuck across the border and some interesting stories about spies in the war.
One of the most recognisable German landmarks, Brandenburg Gate was a symbol of Berlin and German division during the Cold War, it is now a national symbol of peace and unity.
This is the longest remaining section of the Berlin Wall, built-in 1961 by the Soviet Government to prevent residents of East Berlin migrating to the more prosperous West Berlin. Today you can still see the remnants of the wall, which was finally torn down in 1989, a watchtower and “Death strip”, where many attempted escapes ended fatally.

The communication from Voyager and having a former teacher running the initial contact was really helpful. No question seemed too much trouble and Voyager were excellent at providing specific answers. I would definitely (and have) recommend Voyager to other colleagues and schools. We do intend to book again with Voyager due to their excellent customer service.Charlotte Hobbs, Teacher at Queen Elizabeth's Grammar School
