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.

Really enjoyed the tour. Rob was really knowledgeable about the street art and its context within Berlin. Hoping on the train a couple of times going one stop was a great way to cover more ground and see more street art.

Rob was excellent! His knowledge and experience as a street artist was a definite plus. He explained the different techniques, and background information on the artists as he had worked with some in the past. A great way yo get off the beaten path and soak up the vibrant world of Berlin street art.

A tour like this is made or broken by the guide, and Rob was fantastic. Experienced yet fresh, with deep and thoughtful knowledge of a subject that he cares about, and a fantastic dry wit and turn of phrase.
I learned a lot about the background to graffitii and street art, the culture, why it is in Berlin, and some of the techniques. It gave me new appreciation, and turned into one of the highlights of my visit to the city.
Thank you Rob :-)
