Additional Information

On a journey through a city where walls become canvases, artists unravel the mystique, history, methods, norms, and individual tales of graffiti and street art. A thorough history of graffiti and its associated culture.

Berlin’s atmosphere is heavy with aerosol paint. The noise of a spraycan shaking in the quiet of the night constitutes its background audio. A tag can narrate as complex a story as towering murals, and a high-pressure discharge from a fire extinguisher can be as expressive as a centuries-old art piece from a Dutch virtuoso. We’re privy to the historical and cultural aspects of it all. Allow the artists to guide you to the best locations and works, simultaneously providing a broad historical perspective on urban art in its contemporary Mecca.

Witness massive wall arts, high altitude spots, and spray paint graphics. Understand the art of trainbombing and tagging, used stencils, paste-ups, and adhesive arts, along with many more. The tour comprises a visit to the Urban Nation gallery and covers areas like Kreuzberg, Friedrichshain, and Schöneberg.

  • Good walking shoes.
  • An umbrella if raining.
  • Guests should have a metro ticket as public transport is used through out the tour.

Wonderful tour - I signed up for this tour last minute, as I’d had a good experience with another tour from this company. This tour was even better than the first one! Our guide Ben did a wonderful job showing us a large variety of street art throughout a couple of different neighborhoods, telling us about artists and their styles and influences and pointing out details I never would have noticed on my own. He was a great storyteller and an easygoing and engaging guide. After the tour, it was very cool to keep spotting artwork throughout the city by artists we’d been introduced to on the tour. A fantastic value, very reasonably priced for what you get. Highly recommend.

Incredible tour! - Amazing tour! I had high hopes for this one, and Robert delivered above and beyond. Giving a fantastic insight into the scene of graffiti and street art, which I knew little to nothing about before the tour. Robert was lively and forthcoming with history, facts and tidbits and really funny! I can fully recommend this tour, and get behind the statement, that if you only do one thing in Berlin, do THIS!

Knowledgeable interesting few hours - Ben proved to be an exceptional tour guide, possessing an impressive depth of knowledge about street art and graffiti. His ability to distinguish between the two and provide insightful explanations was truly remarkable. As an artist himself, Ben shared not only his expertise but also his personal opinions and experiences, offering captivating anecdotes about his own encounters with street art and stories behind the works we encountered. Undoubtedly, the tour involved a significant amount of walking—I logged around 3.5 miles on my watch! Despite the rain, Ben persevered and thoughtfully arranged a suitable stop for refreshments and restroom breaks. This tour undoubtedly stood out as the highlight of my time in Berlin, offering invaluable insights into the city's aesthetic. What may initially appear as urban grime is transformed into a captivating narrative through the lens of street art and graffiti. Highly recommended for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of Berlin's cultural landscape.

If you want an intro to street art and graffiti then this is the tour - The graffiti and street art in Berlin is prolfiic. Its everywhere. On buildings and infrastructure, public and private, new and old. On first glance it’s ugly and defaces the buildings and infrastructure, but look more closely and you can see artists at work and a whole culture that’s subversive but so creative and fascinating. So to make the most of my time here, I’m learning all I can about Berlins graffiti and street art and the artists behind it. The knowledgeable and lively tour guide Marnie really delivered and I have a whole new appreciation for this art form

Must do - Great tour made excellent by a fantastic guide. Ben's (the guide) passion and enthusiasm for Berlins Street art scene and historical knowledge of its growth makes for arguably one of the best ways to see the City. I have already, and will continue to recommend it to anyone who likes culture.

Excellent introduction to street art - Thoroughly enjoyable and insightful. A great experience of a lifestyle and art form that I have had limited prior experience with. We had a good balance between walking, knowledge and photo opportunities. The best tour we did in Berlin! Recommended 5 stars.
