Fun and informative

The tour was very interesting, showing a part of Berlin we wouldnt get to know if not because of it. It shows not only art, but some history and the reasons why Berlin is known for being a cultural capital related to street art and techno music. The tour guide, Cameron, was the perfect person to show us around, since he’s a part of its history, he was fun and paied us some attention.

JR did a great job in introducing us to a side of Berlin one doesn’t here on a standard tour. After the tour I felt as if I really knew the city and what makes its heart beat. Would definitely recommend.

In spite of very cold and rainy weather, wen enjoyed our walking tour with JR through Berlin a lot. Lots of information on street art and alternative places in Berlin. Also got a lot of tips for things we can do in Berlin which was very much appreciated! Recommended

Cameron was both fun and informative.

We appreciated Cameron’s stories and the opportunity for a different view of Berlin. His list of recommendations was helpful. Cameron showed an interest in his guests, the conversations he facilitated amongst tourists from different places was an added benefit

We joined the alternative Berlin tour hosted by Xavier last Sunday. It was great to see the “other” side of Berlin that you would usually not notice as a tourist.
