After each section the guide will pause to take questions. You can simply ask your question, or type it into the live group chat. You will also have access to in tour content such as photos and videos.

Your virtual experience begins at one of Berlin's premier, and most beautiful, art galleries – still bullet-scarred from the Second World War.
We then make our way to the dark heart of Nazi Germany at the former SS and Gestapo headquarters, and walk along the most brutal symbol of the Cold War – the Berlin Wall.
Next we head to see a fleet of Trabants – East Germany's mass-manufactured 'cardboard car'.
We then cross the border at the most famous crossing point over the Berlin Wall, where a tank standoff in 1961 had the world on the nuclear knife-edge. We end the tour at the excellent 'Black Box' exhibition.
