Our favourite Berlin experience
My partner and I had three days in Berlin to explore and experience as much of the city as possible, and this was by far our favourite activity. We felt completely safe and well looked after by our guide, Mathias. The hot rods themselves were an absolute blast to drive, but what made the experience truly special was the way it connected us with the city. Weaving through Berlin's streets gave us a unique perspective on the sights and atmosphere that we wouldn't have experienced any other way. We thoroughly enjoyed every minute and would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Berlin.
Operator response
Thanks for the great feedback! We're glad you enjoyed the Hotrod Tour so much! Mathias was thrilled to hear your praise!

A different take on Berlin
Fun experience. You get to ride around the city in little cars. Might want to get familiar with the landscape on you own as there is no time for explanations or descriptions.
Operator response
Hey Lilian, thanks for Your feedback. We actually choose not to provide audio commentary during the ride, since the ride itself is exciting enough for most people. We've offered guided tours with commentary in the past, and many participants found it rather distracting.

Just the best experience ever!
My recent trip to Berlin was a surprise birthday gift for my Dad's 60th, and we both very much agreed that this experience was the pinnacle of our visit!! If we only came to Berlin for this tour, it would have been a worthwhile trip. The tour is just excellent 👌 Lala, our instructor, was clear and performed her role perfectly. Her hand signalling, attention to detail, hazard perception, just everything was on point 👏 The route is so well mapped out, giving a complete journey through the city, taking in different roads, twists and turns. With only a 3-day visit, we knew we wouldn't have time to see all of Berlin, well this tour certainly sorted that for us. We were told from the start, this is not a talking tour, and I'm glad it wasn't. As an avid car enthusiast, this is about the mini hotrod experience, they are just sooo cool and fun to drive. Yes, you do see the landmarks, and you do get a picturesque photo stop taking in the TV tower, but it's not lots of stops. All the better for it as far as we were concerned, we just didnt want to get out of the hotrods! 1.5hrs went too fast, I would've been happy to continue for the rest of the day! This was the highlight of our trip, and I am so happy I got to have such an amazing experience with my dad. I'd have gladly payed double. We were seriously considering paying to join the next tour, and probably would have if we didnt have other plans. Thanks so much to the Hotrod Berlin team, you're helping to make magical memories for your customers ❤️

Best way to see Berlin!
Amazing experience driving through the streets of Berlin. Don’t think twice just book it
Operator response
"Don’t think twice just book it" sounds like it could be the new Hotrod Tour Berlin slogan! :D Thank You very much!

Maybe a once in a lifetime experience - incredibly fun!
Incredibly fun activity! **However, I would not recommend if you wanted a guided experience through Berlin with a 'narrator' of the city. That being said, this was the highlight of a 10-day city trip throughout Europe. Everyone throughout the city was very excited to see us driving in these small vehicles.
Operator response
We love to hear that it was Your highlight! That honors our work! Thank You very much!
