Private Street Art Tour - Off The Grid

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.

Street art & graffiti is everywhere in Berlin. Artists from around the world visit Berlin to paint both legal and illegal murals, small pieces and commissioned work. However, there are also the sweet-spots in the city that attract specific artists to visit, to paint, and also to admire the work of their peers. Some of which is off-the-radar of the casual observers, tourist groups and city-bloggers. 

On this exciting tour we´ll take you from the former east to the former west of Berlin through abandoned industrial yards to backstreets, quiet courtyards and some famous work as your guide (an active member of the scene) dazzles you with insider knowledge and tales from streets. From “tags” that are made while you´re asleep, to massive murals that take up an entire building and add to the city skyline. You´ll experience the meanings behind the art, the political messages, the techniques, the rules, the culture, the humor that keeps this world famous scene alive, active and part of Berlin´s modern folklore. 

This 3 hour adventure is a colorful & unique experience for guests who wish to see and photograph a large volume of work in more exclusive surroundings in some lesser known corners of Berlin aswell as some of the city´s legendary pieces.

Come and explore with us. We´ll show you that urban art is more than just the writings "on the subway walls" but a way of life in this city.
