About

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!

We had nice time with Laura who was delightfully serious about the leading theme (gentrification in street art and squatting). I felt really lucky to get Laura as our guide to be able to avoid superficial bullshit. It’s important to educate possibly-ignorant tourists 🙂 Many thanks Laura!

The tour was just ok, really meh actually. We really didn’t get to see much of the ”alternative Berlin” or street art for that matter, some ruined street art and a few grafitti and we got directions to go see some more by ourselves. Got dropped off on a bridge and told to see stuff by ourselves. So yeah, underwhelming! JR should really put in some more effort!
