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.

I went on the Alternative Tour and had Xavier as a guide. It was interactive, Xavier had a lot of interesting stuff to tell us. I would recommend it to anyone who is looking to walk a bit off the beaten path. Great job, guys!

Canadian Chris was funny, informative and basically could answer any questions thrown at him. Great anecdotes that you’d be pushed to find in a text book which made the tour very human. Love that it’s pay as you feel and there was no pressure but it was so entertaining you wanted to contribute.
