About

1/3

Big beautiful churches, nice Baroque palaces, grand theatre buildings, and many other places… that you will NOT see on this tour! 😉 Why? Because Berlin is way more than that. Berlin is a European capital of alternative lifestyle and street art! So on this tour, you will explore very different aspects of the German capital. You will be taken to various corners and nooks where most tourist never go.

After this 3-hour tour, you will discover a new city of Berlin. You will know why it is called a “cultural melting pot”. You will learn about the impact of Berlin’s music scene. Furthermore, you will be able to decipher some hidden messages of different graffiti and murals around the city. You will witness squat life very close to the centre of Berlin.

Our Alternative Berlin tour will allow you to feel the true vibe of Berlin!

Attention! A daily transport ticket (AB zone) is needed for this tour!

Excellent Guide; Interesting Tour

I took the Alternative Berlin tour this afternoon with Daniel from Spain as the guide. We covered a lot of ground, literally and figuratively. Daniel is very enthusiastic as a guide and explained a lot about Berlin since 1961, as he showed us related sites. Highly recommended,

Our guide, J.R., showed us so many things we would never have seen on our own and provided a wealth of information on a range of subjects from gentrification to street art. It was a fantastic tour. We appreciated his depth of knowledge and good humor. I have hearing issues and so particularly appreciated his clear speaking voice – no struggle whatsoever in understanding all he shared with us.

Participated in an “Alternative Berlin” tour with JR. A really cool and nice guy and a great guide. Showed us some really beautiful art, spiced it up with interesting historical background information, and topped the whole thing with awesome recommendations for things to do/see in Berlin after the tour. Good vibes throughout.

Had a blast! Highly recommended.

Thanks a lot, JR. 🙂
