Really really interesting tour , gave us a deep glimpse into the personality of Berlin and the people living there throughout the last century we had Arnie as a tour guide and we all thoroughly enjoyed it !!

My mom and I did 2 tours with Alternative Berlin Tours. First, we did the Real Berlin Tour. This tour was boring and didn’t cover what was advertised. I wouldn’t recommend it. There were a lot of people on the tour so they split us into 2 groups with 2 different guides. First we were with Leo/Theo (unsure exactly what their name was), who spoke so softly that we could barely hear the tour at all. Because of this, we ended up moving to the other guide’s group, whose name I don’t know since we joined the tour late (he had a mohawk and a punk rock vibe). He spent an inordinate amount of time babbling about himself and his own experience living in Berlin. It was so pointless that we ended up leaving the tour at the break and walking around the neighborhood with Rick Steve’s self-guided walking tour instead. Second, we did the Street Art Tour. Our guide was Susanna. We liked this tour, and after doing other tours and sight-seeing in Berlin focused on history, it was cool to do a tour that focused more on Berlin in the present. The art that we saw was interesting, and there was definitely a benefit in going with a guided tour vs. just walking around the area because it helped us notice things we wouldn’t otherwise have seen or understood. We appreciated that Susanna also made an effort to feature diverse artists (women, POC, artists from different countries, commissioned vs. illegal street art, etc.). Susanna was overall a great, lively, and engaging guide! Our only complaint about the tour is that it was extremely hot (90 degrees F), and everyone on the tour seemed to be suffering and trying to find shade, yet Susanna would regularly ask us to move to stand next to her in the sun at each stop. Also, instead of using the ticket we were instructed to bring on the tour, Susanna had us walk 15min in the full sun instead. In other weather this would have been no big deal, but since it was a very hot day, we ended the tour completely wiped out and drenched in sweat.

I wish i could remember the tour guides name, she was great. I also wish i took this tour on my first day i arrived as they give you great tips on neighborhoods, shopping, where to see music, and restuarants. Unfortunately saved it for the last day. I will have to go back!

We have seen parts of Berlin we have never seen before. The British tour guide Reece was funny and amusing, while he was very knowledgeable about the city. Excellent tour.

This tour is a must! We got to see a whole another side of Berlin and it was amazing! Our tour guide was so funny and nice and we had the best time ever!

Ben was our tour guide. Very engaging with lots of interesting stories. Showing us a different view of Berlin. The time just flew in - very enjoyable.

Very enjoyable experience. I have been living in Berlin just under 10 years and took this tour to look at the city from a different angle and I have to say it was a delightful walk with very nice stories about places and culture. Can only recommend it to others.

A great walking tour that we had to leave early (another booking). A fab English guide (can’t recall his name now - DJ/historian/cool dude) who was very knowledgable and friendly. Will finish this tour on another occasion. Defiantly recommend. Get you daily travel ticket in advance.

Best tour I’ve ever had! Marnie met us On a rainy grey day. She showed us the beauty of Berlin which we had walked past but did not previously appreciate. We walked away feeling joyous, appreciative of the art, and happy. Marnie is very articulated, beautifully engaging and a delight to travel through Berlin seeing the highs and lows of the city. What a gem!

We took part in the 3 hours Street Art Tour with Marnie, she's a fantastic guide! She loves art and her job and she is able to transmit it to the visitors, and she knows how to involve people in the tour. It is a very interesting tour if you like street art and if you want to explore Berlin graffiti and street art, which is incredible. Also, it allows you to discover art that maybe you don't know that exists and you can admire the real Berlin street art with all its explanations. In fact, I would have never seen all that the guide showed us, if I were alone. For the tour, you need the AB U-Bahn ticket, but if you don't have time to buy it before the visit, don't worry, you have time to buy it at the moment, but obviously it's faster if you have it. You can buy it easily in the machines of the underground train station. We used it only once, in the final part of the tour. If you're worried about the "3 hours tour" don't worry, it's not boring or tiring if you like Berlin street art! I really recommend it!!

We had our Street Art tour on November 2nd - it was a wonderful tour and I would recommend it to anyone interested in the rich art scene of Berlin. The guide was lovely - really well-informed, engaging, and fun. The value for the money was incredible! I feel very lucky at what we were able to see, and for sure we wouldn't have found most of this amazing art (never mind had the context) without this tour. Unfortunately one of our party got ill (unrelated) and we had to leave the tour early...and I still think it was worth more than what we paid even having experienced only half!! TEN OUT OF TEN.

We did the free walking tour and it was 100% worth partaking in. We had the handsome American named Cole as our guide and he was fantastic and so knowledgeable about the city and all the street art, there was not a question that he did not know the answer to. Very informative and I feel like I know the city of Berlin just that much better. Also good size for a tour group, not too big and not too small-about 9 people on our tour. Highly recommend!

The best walking tour. Great tour guide! The tour brings you to the mist authentic and beautiful places of berlin and the stories are very interesting

Ben was a fantastic guide! From poster boards, buildings, alleyways and the wall, you get an appreciation of the importance of street art and culture in areas you may not have visited (or knew were hidden around a corner). It is amazing how the art jumps out at you after going on this tour. I have a much better appreciation for the counterculture that Berlin is known for and the struggle for it thrive.

Peter the guide was great - very knowledgeable and fun. He had some great stories and showed us lots of things we would not have found without him. A good mix of topics. Great to be seeing and hearing of contemporary art, culture and politics. Recommended.
