Beyond and Beneath Tours
Discover Berlin’s rebellious history through a dynamic two-hour walk on Alexanderplatz. Uncover stories of protests and resistance that shaped the city’s identity with Beyond and Beneath Tours.
Beyond and Beneath Tours is a Berlin-based tour operator that offers guided walking tours and outdoor experiences focused on the city’s political history, architecture, and urban memory.
Featured on The Adventure Collective, the operator presents a roster of themed walks that examine resistance and revolution, Cold War legacies, postwar modernist design, and medical history across central Berlin. Trip listings include English-language and German-language editions, with some tours noting regional German variants (DE / AT / CH) and English regional labels (GB / US).
Key routes visit landmark locations such as Alexanderplatz, Unter den Linden, Stalinallee, the Invalidenfriedhof cemetery, the Charité hospital campus, Hansaviertel, Moabit, and the Nikolaiviertel. Many experiences are two-hour outdoor walks designed to be accessible and focused on visible urban fabric rather than indoor museum visits.
The program emphasizes place-based storytelling, combining social and architectural history with site-specific narratives about protests, prisons, cemeteries, hospitals, and urban planning. Practical trip information is provided per listing, including duration, meeting points, and language options. By presenting multiple language editions and a consistent selection of central routes, Beyond and Beneath Tours supports both visitors and local participants seeking in-depth, themed explorations of Berlin’s layered past.
