Great Ride
Amazing bike tour and our guide was extremely well informed and provided great historical context of sites. It was conversational and interesting. I highly recommend this tour and the bonus was that we rode comfortable new bikes.

Itinerary
Nikolaiviertel
Where it all began. Lovely old town atmosphere, created in the late eighties...
Berliner Fernsehturm
A timeless icon of Berlin, the TV-tower was the second tallest in the world at it's opening in 1969.
Book Burning Memorial at Bebelplatz
A stunning panorama! Berlin's oldest university, the old opera, a catholic cathedral, a hotel which serving once as a bank, a guard's house looking like a temple etc - simply the classic centre! And not to forget: the place where the Nazis showed their evil nature by burning thousands of books in front of the public.
Humboldt University (Humboldt Universitat)
Home for more than 25 Nobel Prize winners like Albert Einstein and great minds Karl Marx. By the way, a lot of our guides also study or studied here.
Checkpoint Charlie
**Only incl. in the English version** The most famous border station of the Cold War.
Potsdamer Platz
Roaring traffic cross and place to be at night in the "Roaring Twenties", followed by the very definition of no man's land during the division of Berlin, Europe's biggest construction site around the Millennium, defining Berlin's complex attempt of reuniting what was formerly torn apart.
The Holocaust Memorial - Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe
How to deal with the indescribable crimes commited by Nazi Germany? Germany tries not to bury it's dark past. It tries to learn from it. You need to see it by yourself!
Tiergarten
Dive in and take a deep breath in one of Berlins biggest parks whose name (Garden of the Animals) has no relation to its former use as a Zoo.
Brandenburg Gate
THE icon of Berlin - for many reasons
Reichstag Building
Germany's parliament, surrounded by the modern government quarter, shows it's transparent dome with pride.
Bundeskanzleramt
A lot of funny stories are being told about Germany's White House, most of them aren't true - you know, Germans aren't into jokes.
Prenzlauer Berg
**Only incl. in the German version of this tour** This famous and liveable district is the very example for Berlin's transformation since it's reunification. Fancy bohemian flavour? This distrcit gives you the answer.
Museum Island
Experience the impressive architecture of Berlin’s Spree Athens

Great bike tour
Pierre was a wonderful guide. He was very interesting and made the whole trip fun. He made it easy to follow him on the bikes. It was an overall great experience! The meeting location was a little bit difficult to find. The sign the bike store has out is not in front of the entrance to the shop. But someone came to find us eventually.

Nice bike tour with many sights
Unfortunately, we could only participate in a tour in English, but it worked out quite well. We saw a great many sights and got to know Berlin in a completely different way. Our tour guide was very competent and was able to answer all questions. 👍🏻😁

Good for experienced urban cyclists
Andrei shared great information, but he biked fast and through traffic, without much waiting for slower cyclists. I recommend this tour for more experienced cyclists and those who already have their bearings in Berlin, as there wasn’t much introductory information.

Amir - our highlight on the highlight tour
Today, we had the great pleasure of taking a private bike tour through Berlin with Amir. Amir cheerfully showed us many interesting details about his city in a very informative way and safely guided us through all the difficult intersections. We wholeheartedly recommend the highlight tour.
