Best tour you will find in Berlin by a mile! - Absolutely brilliant! Our tour guide, Adrian (who was the initial founder of the Alternative Berlin tours, and has been doing them for decades) was phenomenal and passionate, and had an infinite supply of unique stories and personal anecdotes about Berlin as we walked around. The graffiti stopovers were very interesting and the places we visited/stopped outside were eclectic and not the type of tourism that you would find easily on your own; highlights included the Treehouse at the Wall and Naam, the Jamaican beach bar. The walk was quite long, but there were many stops where Adrian was speaking, including one where people could sit down. The only problem (well, half problem) was that, because of how passionate Adrian was, the tour overran massively and we had to leave at the second to last stop because we were too hungry! Would recommend bringing a sandwich or other food just in case your tour also overruns, but overall, a brilliant experience that everyone visiting Berlin should do.

Inspiring tour - This was a very informative tour that I discovered by chance, and I’m glad I joined. I received answers to many of my questions, and the experience felt well-organized and engaging. After the tour, I also visited some of the recommended places and had the opportunity to support local artists, which added extra value to the experience. The atmosphere felt warm and welcoming, reminding me of the environment I grew up in. Although I live in a smaller place, this experience made me appreciate Berlin much more. Jake was a knowledgeable and lively guide who made the tour enjoyable throughout. I would definitely recommend this tour to others.

Definitely recommend! Fantastic and immersive experience. Ben the guide is just brilliant! - This tour is one of the best things you can do while in Berlin. 3 hours of walking through Mitte and Kreuzberg, we learnt about Berlins street art and squatting culture, the context of immigrants in shaping culture and art and had some of the best hot chocolate.

Highly recommended introduction to contemporary Berlin - This is an incredibly well put-together tour. It takes you into a side of Berlin less-seen by tourists and you get a real feel for the vibrancy and creativity of the city. Along with information on Berlin as it is now, there is plenty of history and stories of how it got this way. You learn about architecture, the East/West divide, community anctivism and how artists are making a living now. Our guide. Anton, is a working street artist and was warm, friendly and ready to answer everyone’s questions. Everything seemed packed closer together than the history tours of Berlin, so this 3-hour tour is packed with interesting things to see.

Excellent - The guide was excellent, linking street art to recent history of Berlin. He showed a real in-depth understanding of the area. We had been worried 3 hours was too much but it flew by.

Last-minute cancellation. - Unfortunately, the tour was canceled shortly before the planned start, so we could not book or plan an alternative. An early cancellation would be desirable. Refund policy is also unclear; only an offer to book a new tour was made. Of course, we are no longer in Berlin. There is still plenty of room for improvement in communication here. It's a pity; it could have been a nice tour.
