Itinerary
We begin our tour at the East Side Gallery, the longest remaining stretch of the Berlin Wall, where your guide brings history to life with stories of division, reunification, and creativity. You’ll learn how this once heavily guarded border strip transformed into today’s open-air gallery and vibrant neighborhood, reflecting Berlin’s resilience and ever-changing spirit.
Our expert Berliner guide will show you around one of the last still existing, subcultural centers of Berlin. You will get to know about the turbulent and unique history of this revamped, historical village in the heart of the district Friedrichshain and discover the best street art you'll ever see.

We had so much fun! It's crazy how much he knows about Berlin and the history. We were in a part of town that we would have never gone to on our own. It was interesting to go to local spots where we were the only tourists. Highly recommend this tour!!

Alex was phenomenal! Great providing history along our walk and then getting us to the food. I was stuffed after 2 stops but there was more, a lot more. And beer. Currywurst is a local favorite for a reason but it might not be for everyone, and that's okay. Try it for yourself. The final stop was a total banger. Two thumbs up.
Dear Rick, It was such a pleasure to show you and your lovely family around Friedrichshain on our food and cultural walking tour with Alex. We’re very glad that you especially loved the last stop with our favorite traditional dessert of all time ;). Please come back and visit us again sometime! All the best to Austin! Kindest, Margot + Alex from Walk With Us Tours
Very informative and interesting walking tour by Alex. Great choice of food - 6 ‘samples’ and visits to areas we wouldn’t just ‘walk into to’. Great to eat like a local . Would recommend for anyone wanting to appreciate the history of east Berlin and try local food.
