Sam was our guide and how lucky we were to have him. His passion for history and his job shone through. Would thoroughly recommend.
Whilst our tour did cover the main highlights of Berlin our guide Sander in my opinion was allocated too many riders in his group. We have done many cycling tours in the past but would rate this the worst. Group too big . Lots of stops waiting for tail Enders to catch up. Guide seamed tired and unenthusiastic. Guide talked about the details of the location whilst half the group still catching up . Our group still finished the ride ahead of schedule even though the ride was painfully slow. I’m 72 and always rod in the front one third of the tour.
Awesome tour. I would highly recommend it. We got to see heaps….way, way more than you could do by walking. The guide, Michele, was very informative. We had time to take photos and the bikes were comfortable.
It's easy to access. The staff are helpful and respectful. Not hard to ride around and I felt quite comfortable and safe.
A wonderful way to get an extensive history lesson on Berlin and a little bit of exercise. Great fun!
Easy bike ride through Berlin! Our guide Alba was very friendly and knowledgeable and showed us some great sites.
Thor was very knowledgeable with Berlin and its history. We enjoyed his tour and recommend this bike tour for anyone looking to see the key historical sites of Berlin during WW2.
A really good tour with a marvelous guide Sam. Very knowledgeable on the city's history. He brought us around all the key sights and so much more. We would recommend highly ultimate bikes. Top class folk and quality bikes
I missed the tour as there were rail works between spandau and the Olympic stadium. I was unaware of this until no trains turned up in the 20 mins I was at the at the station. I checked the travel app and it said a replacement bus service was in operation. This then delayed me by an hour and so I missed my bike ride. They were kind enough to offer me a later time but I was already booked on a further tour. I was gutted and really looking forward to it this bike tour.
Knowledgable guide, Maggi. Comfortable bikes. Easy cycling. Saw lots of sights. Good introduction to Berlin.
