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.

After a week of travelling to beautiful charming towns with picturesque architecture… this was a refreshing and different look at the grittier, street art side of Berlin! JR was great, lots of anecdotes, history, art interpretation. Thanks for a great tour!

Loved the street art, history of squats and music! David Bowie & Iggy Pop’s recording studio was so cool to learn about. Best tour I’ve been on. JR did it right. Highly recommend!
