Berlin Street Art Walking Tour - Off The Grid
Description
Artists tell you the secrets, the history, the techniques, the rules and the personal stories of graffiti and street art in a walk through a city whose walls are canvasses. A comprehensive history of graffiti and its culture. Berlin's air is thick with paint. Its soundtrack is the clack-clack of a spraycan in the night. Tags tell as much of a story as five storey murals, a blast from a high pressured fire extinguisher can be as expressive as a centuries old canvas from a Dutch master. And we know the history and the culture of it all. Let artists themselves show you the sweetest spots and the finest pieces, whilst giving a comprehensive history of urban art in its modern day Mecca. See huge murals, heaven spots and and throw-ups. Learn about trainbombing and tagging, stencils, paste-ups, stickers and everything in between. Tour includes Urban Nation gallery. Covers Kreuzberg, Friedrichshain and Schöneberg.

What a great 3 hours exploring the graffiti and street art culture of Berlin. The guide was fantastic. Informative, knowledgeable and adaptable to his audience and conditions. It was a scorcher of a day, but he made sure we were in the shade as much as possible, had water and stops to cool down. Thanks so much for a great tour!
A wonderful informative insight into the world of Street Art and Graffiti. Rob is super articulate and very funny - highly recommended!
An enjoyable and informative tour of street art! Our guide, Rob, was so knowledgeable and entertaining. I highly recommend as something fun and uplifting that deviates from the devastation and heartache of Hitler's Germany.
Top tour from Rob, went with the view of vandalism came away in awe. I love it when the tour guide has both knowledge and passion. Thank you Rob, keep doing what you do.
The tour guide was fantastic. He was a street artist himself and had a lot of knowledge about the history of both graffiti and street art and was very good at explaining the difference. He gave us a wonderful concept of what it is to be a street artist, the culture, the commitment, the risk and the reward. A beautifully done tour. I also enjoyed that there was a shop at the end of it selling the work of street artists we could bring home.
We really learned about street art techniques, artists. Rob, our guide, was a delightful mix of graffiti knowledge and quirkiness. However, his quirkiness tended to throw him a bit of track at times.
The tour was varied, exciting, fun and interesting! Rob has a great knowledge that he shares in a great way.
I'd like to thank Rob (our tour guide) for the amazing job he did. A really fun guy! He talked about graffiti and street art (until then, I couldn't tell the difference between the two) in a way that was very engaging. We got to see hidden gems in different parts of Berlin. Lovely pieces of urban art that should be more appreciated. Once again, thank you Rob! You are awesome! Whoever reads this, should definitely take the tour. You won't regret!
A great, interesting and inspiring tour through the graffiti and streetart scene of Berlin with the brilliant guide Ben. He changed our mind and opinion about graffiti, street art and stickers. He always looked at both sides and was not preaching. Excellent 👍
What a fascinating tour. Our guide Rob was knowledgeable, enthusiastic and opened up the world of street art/graffiti to us. A true highlight of our Berlin trip!
