About this activity
Begin your exploration of the real Berlin by meeting your guide at noon in central Berlin. During your comprehensive 4.5-hour walking tour, you'll go off the beaten path and see aspects of Berlin most tourists miss. Because of the more relaxed pace of a small-group tour, you'll have more opportunities to capture photos and ask your knowledgeable local guide questions.
Visit well-known neighborhoods such as Prenzlauer Berg, Mitte and Friedrichshain. Tour the colorful Turkish area of Kreuzberg and the city's Jewish community. View contemporary and underground art galleries, urban farms, guerilla gardens and organic markets.
Learn the origins of currywurst, a popular German fast food of fried pork sausage with curry-seasoned ketchup, and Doner kebab, a Turkish gyro first served in Berlin. You'll also see Prater Garten Berlin, the city's oldest beer garden.
As you wander around town, your guide will point out sites related to various countercultural movements, including the student protest movement of the 1960s, the rise and fall of the Baader-Meinhof gang in the 1970s and the punk movement and May 1 riots of the 1980s. See mind-blowing street art, graffiti and murals all over town. Learn about the electronic dance musical festival called the Love Parade and the hip-hop, reggae and rasta scene of Yaam Beach.
By the time your in-depth cultural tour of Berlin concludes at Yaam Beach, you'll know much more about the history, neighborhoods and alternative scenes of this fascinating city.

Ok, Not really my Tour - I purchased this for my daughter as she did not want to do the trip to Sachsenhausen. She enjoyed it immensely, and by all accounts had a great time (you know it's not easy to pry this sort of Info. out of your Offspring. ) SO, if it was good enough for her I can only recommend it as worth doing.
This was an excellent tour. The guide was fantastic and we learned things about street art we never even knew we didn't know.
Great historical walking tour and Kreuzberg is very hipster.
I loved this tour it really took you off the beaten path and I saw parts of Berlin that you would not see on your own.
I love this tour and have met people in this tour as well. The tour guide is very knowledgeable about the history of arts they don't call it graffiti and berlin. And he is not even from Germany. Highly recommended.
Fantastic.
Can't recommend this tour highly enough. Our guide Pete was extremely knowledgable about Berlin's wonderful, complicated history and educated us with humour and profound passion. Obviously Pete loves this fantastic city.He took us to places we would otherwise have never known about. Thanks Pete for an unforgettable tour.
