Private 4-hour Cold War tour
The private tour is the fullest on the division of the city: it focuses on the Wall and the border crossings, not on Nazism. It is listed from $394.99 per group of up to 15: the price per person becomes reasonable with a few participants, and the guide adapts to your pace. It suits families and groups of friends. Check the available language before booking.
Cold War private tour, 3 hours
The 3-hour format is private and includes Checkpoint Charlie and the East Side Gallery. It is listed from $267 per person: it is the most expensive, mostly worth it if you travel alone or as a couple and want a free exchange with the guide.
Berlin under the Third Reich, 4 hours
The 4-hour Hitler's Germany tour goes past the Anhalter Bahnhof, the former Luftwaffe headquarters and the Topography of Terror (our page). It is rated 4.8 from 496 reviews. We did not see its price: check it for your date, and whether a private option is offered.
Third Reich, Hitler and WWII, 3 hours
The 3-hour tour follows Hitler's plans for "Germania", stops above the site of the Führerbunker and tells the final days of the regime in 1945. It costs €19.90, is rated 4.9 from 2,821 reviews, and a private option is offered.
Third Reich and Cold War, 2 hours
The 2-hour tour is the best seller of this comparison (4.9 from 9,929 reviews, €19.90). The announced route includes the Reichstag, the Soviet memorial, the bunker site, about 200 metres of the Wall and the finish at Checkpoint Charlie. It exists as a small group and as a private version (the language may differ). It is an overview: if you have only one afternoon, it is the right choice.
