Frequently Asked Questions
-
Where does the tour start?
Our Street Art Tour & Workshop starts at Alexanderplatz, under the TV Tower outside Starbucks.
-
How do I recognize the guide?
Our guides will hold up flyers from our company, so they will be easy to spot.
-
Is there a limit to capacity on the tours?
Yes, we try to keep our tours intimate to guarantee a nice experience for everybody on tour while respecting the neighbourhoods we visit. Therefor we don´t sell more than about 20 tickets per guide.
We try to have enough guides scheduled for the Free Tours as well, but as registration is not necessary for this tour (everybody can join and we don´t want to send people away) one guide could possibly end up with a group of more than 20. We thank you for your understanding. -
Do I need a train ticket for the tours?/What is an AB transport ticket?/Where do I get the ticket?
On our tours we cover most distances on foot, but sometimes it is necessary to take the train, as the Berliners do, if the distances are too long. The ticket for the public transport is not included in the tour so it is best if you get it before the tour starts. You will need a ticket for the A and B zone and we recommend a day pass which for the price of under three journeys. You can get the ticket at the machines in any station, and these can be set to English, French and many other languages. They are also available in the many „Spätkaufs“ (the famous little 24 hrs shops that also sell cigarettes, newspapers etc.)
The tickets are valid for subways, trains, buses and trams. -
Where does the tour end?
The street art workshop ends at our venue at Herzbergstraße 55, Berlin Lichtenberg.
-

Most of our tours are. Unfortunately there are still some public transport stations that are still not barrier free. Please contact us and let us know which tour you are planning to take so we can let the guide know beforehand. They will adjust the route accordingly.
