Jules hat mit uns die altnative Tour gemacht und uns Streetart gezeigt und dabei einiges spannendes der Künstler:innen erzählt und immer wieder historischen Bezug genommen. Das ganze war eine super Kombi. Wir waren ca 3 Stunden unterwegs und zwischendurch gab es eine kleine Pause im etwas zu trinken. Am Ende bezahlt man was man möchte. Jedoch sollte man hier Fairness walten lassen und bedenken, dass es sich hierbei teils um die haupteinnahmeqelle der Guides handelt und ein paar Euro völlig unangemessen wären.

What a way to start a long weekend in Berlin. Many would just look at the walls and think what a mess but when you learn more it opens up a whole new world to you.
