I had a very nice street art tour with Ben across the RAW area and through Kreuzberg. The many stories and background knowledge are worth seeing and listening to.

We had alternative tours with Cole. The tour was really strong, we saw corners of Berlin that we would certainly not have seen otherwise. Cole was charming, super funny and had some exciting information ready about everything. 10/10.

The alternative city tour is absolutely worthwhile. You can see something different from the typical tourist sights. Very interesting, entertaining and varied. Our guide Lee was highly motivated, knowledgeable and personable.

During their last visit to Berlin, we did the Free Tour, which was very great, and this time the Street Art Tour. Rob was a very funny and pleasant guide. Especially the workshop at the end was extremely cool. I can only recommend it if you want to do something unusual in Berlin and get to know the street art scene better.
