Stadstour door Berlijn in een Mini Hotrod
Beschrijving
U HEEFT EEN GELDIG RIJBEWIJS NODIG! Ervaar Berlijn op de meest opwindende manier terwijl je jezelf in een legale minihotrod langs de belangrijkste bezienswaardigheden van Berlijn rijdt. Je wordt zelf al snel een attractie. De tour begint bij het legendarische R.A.W.-terrein, dat nog steeds het laatste stukje "echte" Berlijn is en voert u langs de Berlijnse Muur (Eastside Gallery) naar Alexanderplatz, via Hackescher Markt, Friedrichstraße, langs de Reichstag, Brandenburger Tor, Potsdamer Platz en Gendarmenmarkt. Voordat we op pad gaan, krijgt u een theoretische en praktische briefing op ons terrein (ongeveer 10-15 min). Na afloop begeleiden we je veilig en altijd in formatie door de stad (ca. 75-80 min). Als je een foto wilt maken, laat het je gids weten en hij zal een kleine fotopauze nemen. Onze tours zijn onbecommentarieerd, omdat de focus ligt op de weg en de rijervaring. Veiligheid staat voorop.

Reisroute
Het start- en eindpunt van onze tour is de RAW-site. Het RAW-gebied in het verzorgingsgebied van de Warschauer Straße in Friedrichshain is een ruimte voor interculturele projecten, tentoonstellingen en markten, maar ook de thuisbasis van vele clubs en bars. RAW staat voor Reichsbahnausbesserungswerk. Het is een alternatief cultureel project.
De reis vervolgt richting de televisietoren en daarachter slaan we af.
Unter den Linden is een van de belangrijkste verkeersassen in het centrum van Berlijn. De straat, de oudste promenade van Berlijn. Sinds de val van de Muur zijn veel gebouwen gerestaureerd en nieuw gebouwd.
Gewoon rijden.
De Gendarmenmarkt is een van de mooiste pleinen van Berlijn. De drie monumentale panden Duits
De Brandenburger Tor is een must voor elke bezoeker van Berlijn. Er is nauwelijks iets anders dat op zoveel toeristische selfies te zien is als de grote zandstenen poort in het hart van de stad. Het werd gebouwd in de jaren 1788 tot 1791. Op deze plek maken we een korte pauze. Het is mogelijk om een foto te maken.
Potsdamer Platz werd na de hereniging herontwikkeld. Tussen de wolkenkrabbers bevinden zich cafés, bioscopen en winkelfaciliteiten die zowel door Berlijners als toeristen worden gebruikt. Historisch gezien bevinden de eerste verkeerslichten in Europa zich op de Potsdamer Platz.
We rijden langs de Berlijnse Muur. We kunnen ook stoppen voor foto's. Vraag het aan uw gids!

We had almost no tuition before setting off onto the busy Berlin roads. They are very small go cart like “cars” and pretty scary as lorries and buses whizzed by. We were told to stay in a “formation” but as there were 8 of us in total that was very difficult. The guides got progressively more annoyed and eventually stopped the “tour” an hour early. No question of a refund and in all honesty wish we had not booked in the first place.
Hello David Campbell. Yes, you’re right – this tour was a disaster. One participant in your group turned up wearing sandals, even though we explicitly ask for sturdy footwear everywhere. We were kind enough to let Vivienne Monagham take part anyway. Within a few minutes, she caused a crash and damaged two Hotrods. Here, too, we turned a blind eye once again and let her carry on. To top it all off, your group repeatedly flouted the traffic rules despite being warned several times. The tour was therefore cancelled for safety reasons. The fact that you’ve given us such a negative review, after behaving so badly yourselves, says a lot about your character. I hope we never see you again.
If you’re looking to have just a fun time driving around Berlin and seeing the sites…this is the thing to do. The guides taught us how to work the mini hot rods, explained how to stagger on the road when we drive, and always made sure we stayed together as a group. This was one of my favorite tours. If you’re looking to stop and take pics at the sights though this isn’t the thing for you. Just drive the streets and have a blast
The activity was organised very well and it was a great way to see the city. The Hotrods are fun to drive and pretty nippy but they have no suspension so you do feel every bump on the road. The steering is also super sensitive but that added to the fun for me!
Complete fraud - because we are travelling internationally, we only brought a photo of our drivers license and not a hard copy. (Our fault for sure) Realizing we didn’t have a hard copy of the license, we called ahead to ask if we could still participate with photos of our drivers license - the answer was no. What bothers me the most was that there was zero refund, not even an attempt to refund some of the $400 Canadian that we paid for zero service.. they kept $400 and they did nothing .. not one darn thing. No service services were given and no service services were received but yet they kept all $400.. they chose not to see past their greed to just do the right thing. This is greed at it’s finest and I am deeply disappointed in both Viator and the tour operators… I understand that we needed the drivers license, but they could’ve done a partial refund, they could’ve done anything, but they chose just to be greedy and keep the money and never return my calls. I would never recommend this tour or the owners of the operation because of their pure greed and disassociation with doing the right thing. Gross.
I’m sorry to hear about your experience. But this isn’t a fraud or has something to do with greed; we’re simply adhering to the law (the requirement for a driving licence) and our cancellation policy. If you cancel one day in advance, you’ll receive a 100 per cent refund. However, you cancelled at extremely short notice, meaning our staff were already on site and no one else could have booked the vehicles. Consequently, we incur actual costs and would not have been able to recoup the lost revenue.
The gentlemen on site were very friendly, knowledgeable, and definitely in a good mood, as one of the gentlemen guided us through the city, and that was super fun, interesting, and I would do it again anytime. I can only recommend it; an adventure like no other.
Vielen Dank für das positive Feedback! Wenn man mit Mini Hotrods durch Berlin fahren seinen Job nennen darf, ist man immer gut drauf! :D
This was a BLAST! My face hurt at the end of the trip because I was laughing and smiling SO much! The roads can be a bit bumpy but that just adds to the adventure. Speedy little cars with super responsive steering. People stopped to watch and wave at us. As my travel buddy said, "Everyone wants to do this but most are too chicken to try it." I'm SO glad we did this because it was super fun and exciting! Do it! You don't want to miss out on this experience!!
Thank you so much! That really warms the heart! That’s why we love this job!
Wanted to do it again in my short say but fully booked out, once in a lifetime to drive fun rides on Berlin streets.
Hey! Sorry to hear that! Please write us an email and we’ll give you a discount voucher for your next attempt!
Seven years ago I visited Berlin, and I went again last August. The city feels completely different now. Everything is always busy, and it feels surprisingly hot — even for me, and I’m from India. I think it’s because there aren’t many trees.
It's a shame that you're deducting one star because you didn't like Berlin as much as you did seven years ago. Our Hotrod Tour is still cool! :D
Great fun, had a brilliant time with my son driving around Berlin. Guide was fun and looked after all the drivers navigating the streets!
We love to hear that You had a good time with us in Berlin! Thanks for Your kind review!
I was visiting Berlin for only 2 days and had booked this tour on the Saturday morning for my friends and I. We arrived at the meeting point for 10:30am, we had an 11am booking. Nobody was there, fence closed, nobody answered our *numerous* calls. We waited around in the cold for ages and finally got through to Tripadvisor who informed us they would contact the company to request a refund. We finally received a message from them stating: “It looks like that you did not get the message that we are not running the tour at 11:00 because of the temperature is in minus degrees. At 13:00 there will be plus 3 you can join this tour”. No apology, nothing?! And they know full well we never received an email or message notifying us it was cancelled. It wasted our whole morning when we were only visiting for 2 days and couldn’t attend the 1pm tour, as we had other plans to attend to. Pretty poorly organised. Fair enough if it’s too cold to do the tour but at least notify us so we can make other plans and not waste our time. They did process a refund afterwards. Thank you for wasting our morning in Berlin.
Why are you implying that we ‘knew you hadn't received an email from us’? We tried to contact you – otherwise you would hardly have received the message you yourself quote. I find it difficult to apologise for the miscommunication after a 1-star rating with unpleasant insinuations. It can happen that communication breaks down with extremely short-notice bookings. Nevertheless, one should remain fair.
