Season matters here more than people expect, and the good street art and alternative city tours go early. Below are the 15 to look at, with current prices and what separates one from the next.

“Big insight into different parts of Berlin. Enjoyed the experience. Maybe need to be on the tube ticket. seems to infer you needed 1 AB ticket when you need 3 to 4, so a day ticket would be a better option.clearer”
3-hour guided walk through Berlin’s street art, from famous murals to hard-to-find graffiti, led in English for $23.
“Tour was amazing! Ben was an absolutely awesome tour guide! Kept us engaged, and made us laugh while sharing all the history behind graffiti and street art in these parts of Berlin. I really enjoyed this tour and would suggest it to anyone travelling to Berlin! I’m a solo female traveller, and I felt safe and had heaps of fun, whilst also meeting other people from around the globe. We had a small group, but I think this made the experience even better. Added bonus that Ben was from NZ :) great time!”
