Amazing Insights into Berlin's Underground Art

I was joining a tour with JR who did a great job at pointing out the hidden art all over Berlin, showed us the different parts of the city and included knowledge about the graffiti groups and art collectives, as well as tips for great (cost-free) museums. Once you’ve identified the artist’s signatures, you’ll recognize it all over the city!

We enjoyed a wonderful tour of Berlin’s street art with Alex – he was informative and fun and it was great to see parts of the city we never would’ve found on our own. Sharing his personal experience of Berlin was an excellent addition to the historical information.

I was so glad I managed to attend Chris (Canada)’s Alternative Berlin tour! It presented such an eye-opening perspective of this place and I found myself so captivated and moved by his stories and personal experiences with the neighbourhood. Highly recommend and very grateful!
