Really nice bike tour throughout the main relevant points of Berlin, our guide Alba was amazing - knowledgeable, enthusiastic, with a sharp sense of humor and always looking out for the group.
A fantastic experience! You will have a great time taking this tour. Our guide, Sam, was wonderful! Sam is extremely knowledgeable. He mixes in humor, interesting stories, facts, and the appropriate respect for a rather dark period in human and German history. The trip is very safe, and simply a lot of fun. We are so glad we took this tour with Sam. My wife, 3 sons and I from California would love to do it again. Don't miss this excursion! Can't say enough good things about it.
Thank you Yael for sharing your knowledge of Berlin with us. The tour was so interesting and informative from the wealth of knowledge and the warm and friendly personality of Yael. Great way to orientate yourself with Berlin and the vast history. Also, loved the extra information, museums, restaurants and movies. Cannot thank you enough. Highly recommend to anyone visiting Berlin. Thank you again!
We boeken the Dutch tour, and our guide was Guy. We were the only two on the tour which made it feel like a private tour. Guy was very knowledgeable and Guinee us through small streets, parks and many place you would never come if you weren’t on a bike. While we had the electric bikes, it would have been fine on the regular ones (it was a hot day so we were happy with electric, but it is not like there are hills in Berlin. We find biking a city is a fantastic way to experience it and would recommend it.
Loved this tour. We saw and learned so much that we wouldn't have otherwise found out and the route was very flat and easy to follow. One thing I'll add - for some reason I had to pay an extra euro due to booking it through tripadvisor.
Fun, cozy and informative! The cycling pace was easy to keep up with and the guide navigated the traffic safely. Would bring a snack for the road. Recommended!
We had a great experience with Thor and Jules during our bike tour. All the spots and great and more importantly thor explain everything very good. We will definitely recommend to our friends and specially for Thor hospitality during the tour. His energy makes the tour alive.
Maggie was our guide and knew absolutely everything. His English was 100% perfect. He made everything sound interesting and promoted respect for all the obviously sad historic stories. Also took care of the group really well. Such a fun and informative tour, it's a must do in Berlin.
Great intro to Berlin. We learned a lot. BYO water. Biking was flat and easy. Company was very welcoming and simple to work with.
Good overview of the major sites in the former East and West Berlin.
