The Alternative Tour

We went on the alternative tour, and it definetly has to be a highlight of Berlin. You meet under the TV tower and are taken on a 3 hour-or-so walking tour of Berlin. It was amazing as with one tour guide and small groups it means the tour can be altered somewhat based on your groups interests. Our tour guide was very funny and informative. Told us lots of interesting facts about Berlin, advice on nights out, and showed us hidden parts of Berlin we may have missed otherwise. I learnt so much from the tour, and even better that it is a free tour, with an optional (though you areally should) donation at the end of the tour. Places we visited were Tascheles, The Berlin Wall, Mitte district, The Street art walkway etc. I really would advise the tour as a first thing to do to give you a feel for Berlin when you arrive.
