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.
