About us
To see the best street art and graffiti, hear the best music, meet the real people, and feel the raw spirit of Berlin — you have to step out of the everyday.
You have to try something alternative.
We are the original Alternative Berlin Tour — created in 2009, long before it became a trend spreading in cities around the world.
From discovering Berlin’s subcultures on our Alternative Berlin Tour, chilling on our Free Tour, exploring murals on the Street Art Tour, creating your own piece in the Street Art & Graffiti Workshop, uncovering hidden stories on the Real Berlin Tour, or stepping into the underworld on our new Twilight Tour.
Each experience reveals a different face of the city and each one stays true to what we do best: we specialize exclusively in Alternative Tours, storytelling from the streets, guided by the people who live them.
We walk through the neighborhoods where Berlin’s creative spirit still burns —
— where punk squats clash with new money, Turkish markets beside techno clubs, and stories told through walls and lived out in the backstreets.
Our guides are locals, artists, musicians and writers
people deeply rooted in Berlin’s underground, street culture, and creative resistance.
We don’t follow a script. We follow the streets and we want you to walk with us. To see why people fall in love with this city and why many never leave and when you return, you’ll see Berlin with different eyes.
Over the years, we’ve guided thousands of travelers, companies, and school groups — from backpackers to film crews to world-famous musicians and celebrities.
We’ve won awards for originality, professionalism, and quality, and been featured in:
The Guardian, BBC World, National Geographic, The Times, Lonely Planet, Sydney Morning Herald, EasyJet Traveller, Evening Standard, USA Today, and many more.
Berlin is scarred by war, divided by walls, powered by protest, and painted with resistance. It changes fast. It hides its soul. It’s chaotic and magnetic
and we’re here to help you find it
