Description
Join the creator of the Alternative Tour concept in Berlin 2006 for this special personal tour led by myself.
We'll peel back the layers of the past and the present unlocking the codes of the street.
Welcome to this unique city experience. In 2006 I created Alternative Berlin tours as an alternative to typical city tours. These tours were designed to show the real Berlin, the local places, street art and graffiti scenes and what it feels like to live like a Berliner. The concept influenced similar tours all over the world and in Berlin of course giving an incredibly diverse range of people including tourists, companies, students, special interest groups and world famous celebrities a taste of true essence of this complex, creative and magical city.
After starting Alternative Berlin, Alternative Hamburg in 2013 and Alternative Leipzig in 2020, this is my new off shoot project designed exclusively for private groups.
These tours I personally lead myself showing you what lies beneath the surface from the present and the past with
over 17 years of guiding experience in the scenes and on the streets of Berlin.
-On this tour experience we will navigate through hidden alleys, transformed industrial spaces, renowned "green" initiatives, alternative galleries and urban Innovations in Berlin. You'll get an understanding of the thriving counter-culture movements that emerged after the fall of the Berlin Wall and why so many people from expats, to film makers, musicians, startup companies, misfits and the free spirited decided to call this place their forever home.
-Visit creative living spaces, self-sustainability projects, and multicultural communities living side by side in "mostly" harmony but sometimes not.
-Discover some of the most iconic Street art, mural art and graffiti pieces and personal favourites way off the typical tourist path while learning about the famous artists, and the social / political messages behind this language of the street. Not only will you get to see some of the most jaw dropping, photogenic current pieces, I'm going to peel back the layers and tell you who and what previously existed there.
-This tour will stop and take in a few of the vibrant and interesting local and multicultural neighbourhoods or "Kiez" as we call them where you can try some the local food and drink if your group desires. The nightlife and afterdark culture of this city is famous worldwide and I'm going to give you some local tips, share some personal stories and let you immerse yourself in the Berlin lifestyle . You can tell alot about the people by what they eat and drink and Berlin's cuisine well it's different.
The tour finishes close to public transport and in areas that are perfect for further exploration if desired.
Embark on this new private Alternative Tour, uniquely curated and guided by the creator and founder of the alternative tour concept. Whether you're a group of friends, colleagues, or a special interest group, this personalized tour will immerse you in the subcultures, hidden gems, and untold stories that define Berlin's alternative spirit.
