We had a great time with Bart, who showed us all around the burgeoning Berlin street art scene. Got to see lots of amazing paintings we would have otherwise missed. Getting the history behind some of the artists was also interesting and definitely made the tour worthwhile. This is the first time I've ever taken an actual tour while traveling... More

Dora our guide was great. Introduced us to a lot of art and history that we would not have found on our own. Definitely worth the time. Recommend taking water as it is a long walk. More

We really enjoyed our free Alternative Tour of Berlin with Liam. He was a knowledgeable and personable guide and was clearly passionate about street art and about Berlin. It was great to see a different side of the city and learn about different parts of the city's culture (rather than just the WWII history, which could easily consume a couple... More

My boyfriend and I went to Berlin by the end of April for 5 days, and thanks to the other opinions about this tour on Tripadvisor, we decided to take the free tour on our first day. What a good choice! Ryan, our scottish guide, was so nice and friendly, informative and passionate about what he was showing us! We... More

Went on the free alternative walking tour, a fantastic way to see the real and upcoming Berlin without bumping into crowds at tourist hotspots or souvenir shops. Our tour guide Liam was super friendly and knows his stuff, gave us all good insight into the arts scene in Berlin streets plus some history. Would definitely recommend to anyone who wants... More

My husband and I took the alternative day tour today at 1pm. It was a small group of around 13 people, our guide was the wonderful and lively Trish. The tour started in East Berlin and ended in the West. We highly recommend this for anyone who loves art, especially street based and wants to get Berlin's history from an... More

We (10 girls) did a private Street Art Tour and workshop last Saturday with Alternative Berlin. Matthias, our guide, came to pick us up from our hotel (the amazing Michelberger Hotel in Friedrichshain) and then took us on a 2 hour tour of some incredible street art in Friedrichshain and Kreuzberg. We really enjoyed this part, and it was interesting... More

Really loved the alternative tour that I went on. Entering Berlin as a tourist smacks you in the face with history of war and lots of museums. All of which are fascinating in themselves. But the alternative tour was great as it showed a different side to Berlin. Teaching about a political history and showing art and recommending alternative places... More
