I suggest you have a try with Sparklis

http://www.irisa.fr/LIS/ferre/sparkis/

Just input your endpoint URL in the field at the top, and go.
At the first step, it will list classes and properties, and a
sample of individuals. You can filter them by keyword.
Then you can build complex queries in a step-by-step interaction.
You won't have to write any bit of a query, and you don't have to
understand SPARQL queries either because constructed queries
and suggestions are verbalized in English. You can get the equivalent
SPARQL query at the bottom of the page if you need to use elsewhere.

Hope you find it useful!
