The tour with JR was great. JR was funny and led the tour talking about the street art and alternative tour of what I would call “real” Berlin. This is a must do for anyone who appreciates art forms and is supportive of any political ideolgy involving community support.

We had a very good tour with JR. He was easy to hear, knowledgeable, and we saw unique sites. The time passed quickly since it was so entertaining, even though we ended 20 minutes “late.”
