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. 🙂

Awesome tour by JR. It showed many places which you probably wouldn’t see or understand without, street art especially. It also gives you insight on some cool bars and places to explore once the tour is done.

We took a tour with JR (alternative Berlin) and enjoyed every minute of it and we live in Berlin!

We saw many graffiti and heard a lot of stories about the city from the past and the present. The tour combined east and west which was really nice. I can recommend this tour to everyone and I will definitely look for other tours with this guide 🙂

If you want to walk through some of Berlin’s streets that are covered with street art while getting to know interesting facts about this amazing city, you should definitely go on this tour. Cameron is an amazing guide and he sure knows his stuff. Straight on one of my trip highlights!
