Tour description

Let’s set aside the old and focus on the new! For the past 20 years, Berlin has been a cultural trendsetter, a home to new and creative ideas, a place where artists and performers from all around would stream to. This tour will focus on art and music, graffiti and murals, and in general on the alternative lifestyle in which Berlin specializes. Get ready to visit places, nooks and crannies where regular tourists don't usually venture. Let’s discover together the other side of Berlin – the European cultural melting pot. 


Highlights:

  • street art
  • squat life
  • Kreuzberg
  • gentrification
  • Berlin, the city of misfits


Useful information:
Attention! A daily transport ticket (AB zone) is needed for this tour!
The last point is next to YAAM Ostbahnhof

ℹ️ ⚠️ ATTENTION - booking rules

Please note that our free tours are designed for individual travelers and small private groups only. Hence, we do not accept parties of 8 or more people on regular free tours and guides have the right to deny participation to such groups. If you travel in a party of 8 or more please book a private tour in advance.


If you show up at the meeting point with the bigger group our guide will ask you for the payment (12 eur/person) before the tour or cancel your reservation on the spot. To confirm your reservation please arrive 10 minutes before starting. We can not guarantee participation when you will be late.                                  

Please note that multiply bookings (under different names) for 7 people who belong to one group will still be treated as one organized group and the guide has the right to deny participation to such parties.

This policy is implied in the best interest of our individual visitors. 

Please respect our rules.

Jason was a brilliant tour guide, sharing his experiences of Berlin as well as introducing us to some amazing spots. His knowledge of the history of various street artists made for an amazing and informative tour. It was great to experience Berlin outside of the usual tourist's eye!

The alternative tour with Jason is defentely worth it, you will find another tour as the typical monuments of Berlin and will dive in into another world.

Chris was amazing. He is funny, enthusiastic and really knowledgeable. He told us a bit about the history as well as taking us to some off the main grid. He explains history and culture in a way that makes you want to move to Berlin. He's amazing. You won't regret it
