**STREET ART WORKSHOP & TOUR**…read more WHERE: Met at noon (plenty of time to grab breakfast beforehand) at Alexanderplatz TV TOWER next to entrance of Starbucks. However, the tour ends at the workshop in Lictenberg. DURATION: 3.5-4 hour tour and workshop. COST: 18 euros per person and can book online. PART 1 ======= Took the back streets and discovered some of the latest, greatest, and oldest examples of street art, graffiti and mural art. Our guide, a street artist/expert on the scene, showed us some of the best: - stencil art - throw ups - mural art - tagging - ad busting - heaven spots - burners; and - installations while teaching us who was who and their motivations behind their artwork. PART 2 ======= We then visited their workshop in a former abandoned margarine factory in Lictenberg we were instructed how to stencil and spray paint. Yes, we took our piece home as well. So much fun. PRO TIPS: - Make sure to tip your guide. - Purchase an AB transport ticket for this tour. HIGHLY RECOMMEND for those who like street art, graffiti, and history of Berlin.

Our three-hour Walking Tour of Berlin with Glen on the hottest day of the summer was absolutely the…read morecoolest activity in which we engaged during our whirlwind four days in the City. From the moment Glen introduced himself, he shepherded our group from site to site, finding us shady spots whenever he could whilst sharing his voluminous historical, cultural, and cultural knowledge of Berlin and Germany. He also used multimedia very effectively to explain the sites and sights. His knowledge of Berlin and Germany is matched perhaps only by his love and respect for both--the latter of which was particularly manifest when he explained the book burning site, the location of Hitler's bunker, and the Holocaust memorial. Not only do my partner and I recommend the Original Berlin Walking Tour, but we also strongly recommend you ask to be in a group led by Glen.

After speaking to Jens for a few minutes, we realized this would be an excellent way to explore the city! The concept is simple; for an agreed hourly rate you rent the bus and Jens takes you where you want to go. He is very knowledgeable on the city having grown up in West Berlin, and after we explained what we already had seen he took us to all these other places really giving a lasting impression! We had an amazing time and the ride in the VW really meant an addition to our short stay in this crazy metropolis.

I was recommended to Finding Berlin as I was looking for somewhat cooler/more fashionable cycles to…read morehire for the duration of my and my partner's week long Berlin holiday. Berlin is easy to get around by bike, being flat, and with bicycles welcome on most trains. The bikes from Finding Berlin were clean, easy to ride and light. Tyres are skinny, perfect for road riding. They looked great and turned quite a few heads. Good quality locks and lights were provided, and we were happy to rent the two cycles for the whole week: an expensive proposition, given that Finding Berlin charges at least twice what other bike shops charge for hire but these aren't just any bikes. The owner, Martin, speaks excellent English and is both friendly and helpful. He'd only recently opened, and therefore hadn't started doing tours yet, but his facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/findingberlintours and website give details of what he's doing, and when. We were among his first customers and were delighted when he presented us with a small bottle of sparkling wine each, which we enjoyed in a picnic on the banks of the Spree later on. We had a couple of issues: the toe clips to hold my shoes on the pedals were annoying, so I removed them; and my saddle wasn't at the right height and angle. I bought a tool to adjust that, which Martin was happy to refund. I'd absolutely recommend Finding Berlin bike hire if you want something significantly better and more fun than the poorly maintained, heavy workhorses you'll find at most of the city's cycle hire shops.

It takes 2.5 hours for a circuit and only runs one direction. It is a hop on and off format. I only wanted to get off for two stops, East Gallery and Charlotten Schloss. The later is supposedly only on weekends. What? This was not disclosed anywhere, and worse was the manner in which one of the vendors replied. Guess they already had a captive customer. It would be too much effort to file a formal complaint so I YELP. My brief research with the competition. Be Berlin has an app to trek buses. Another company breaks it off into 2 separate routes so you don't have to go a full 2.5 hours if you want to stop in a certain quarter. However, maybe due to the yellow color I noticed this bus more often than the others.

Our tour guide was awesome and he made sure that everybody on the tour was enjoying themselves. The tour offers a perfect mix of culinary & cultural highlights. On the culinary side a wonderful chili-sauce testing, which releases tons of endorphins and brings a smile to your face, and delicious food tastings of the Original Berlin Currywust in two variations, Currywurst of the Bio Havelländer Apple-Pig, Bio-Bison and the tasty official Volkswagen Currywurst are wonderful indulgences. On the cultural side we learned a lot about the different Neighborhoods of Berlin, visited one of the oldest and traditional butchers in Berlin (where we experienced authentic german craftsmanship), met great people, saw the beautiful sights of central Berlin and explored the exciting interactive Currywurst Museum. The Currywurst is a symbol for Berlins History. Following the Currywurst Path throug Berlin is a fun thing to do and you learn so much about the City of Berlin.
