Ismael

We picked this tour after seeing a lot of memorials and historic sites in Berlin. It was a great way to see other parts of the city. Ismael is obviously very excited and knowledgeable. We are so happy that we took this tour with him!

Personally, I would not recommend the tour. I felt that the pacing was poor - we spent ages looking at 3 or so random graffitied walls in Kreuzberg, with very little information provided that I could not have looked up by myself on Google, or simply by looking at the graffiti myself. Then, we sped very quickly past the East Side Gallery, despite the fact that it was the first time that 5/6 of people in our group had ever been there and wanted to stop longer for pictures. The tour guide didn't really do much to make the conversation interactive or two-way, and although he was always happy to take questions, often the answers were quite vague and didn't really get to the root of the question. I wished we got more 'insider' stories that only someone familiar with the street art scene in Berlin would know. If you want to see the graffiti or Kreuzberg, take a walk around the neighbourhood yourself I'd say - same with the East Side Gallery.
