After already visiting other historic sites throughout Berlin we thought that this might be quite interesting. We were left quite disappointed by the whole experience. The bunkers were filled with random war items collected over the years. I didn't find it overally informative and actually felt a little bored at times. Might be an interesting experience for children. More

I participated tour 1 (Dark worlds) and 3 (Subways, bunkers, cold war) during the same day. Tours had different guides and they both were excellent in describing the circumstances and political atmosphere that resulted these constructions. Tours are packed with information and history, so you'll surely get your money's worth - and more. Both of these locations were well lit... More

The tickets for this do sell out early, so you need to get there before they open. Luckily, they are now so popular that they actually run more tours than they advertise on line or in their brochure, so even though the time we wanted was sold out, there was the same tour later on that had not been advertised....

I did tour 1 - the bunker / air raid shelter under Gesundbrunnen metro station. The tour was really unique. You can walk around Berlin by foot seeing the major sites without being on a Segway or cycle tour but you wont get to see this actual WW2 shelter unless you go on this tour. If you have a Berlin...

The organisation runs tours of some of the previously unseen subterranean locations of Berlin. These range from 19th Century breweries to Cold War bunkers. The tour my wife and I went on was the English language tour of the Gesundbrunnen air raid shelter. This is, I think, the largest surviving WWII air raid shelter in Berlin and the tour took... More

We took Tour 3 guided by Robin, it was fantastically done. The tour took us to the disused nuclear bunkers left from the Cold War. I didn't know much about the Cold War so wasn't sure if I'd find the tour interesting, however, before entering the bunker's Robin sat us down and gave us an interesting overview of the period...

You have to get to the Gesundbrunnen stop which is easily managed on the U-Bahn or by taxi. The English tour at 1100 with Sean was excellent. You get really get a feel for the challenges of having to live for hours or days at a time there. The various rooms are in great condition and the artifacts are great.... More

We enjoyed the tour very much. We were on Tour 1 and our guide was entertaining, yet informative. Tour is great for both adults and kids. It lasted for about 90 mins. Booking tickets in advance on the same day is highly recommended. More

I've now been on 3 of Berliner Unterwelten's tours. All equally interesting, engaging and informativ. You're guided through the underwold of Berlin and it's darker history. The guides are clear and matter of fact, informativ and very well founded. So it's well worth a visit wether you're into Cold War, WW2 or escape rutes under the Berlin wall. More
