Beny the guide was great! Enthusiastic and knowledgeable, he made the trip very enjoyable. The cycling was effortless, Berlin is quite flat.

Exciting tour
The tour was great and all services from Berlin on Bike were impeccable. Very exciting tour! The link from Tripadvisor was misleading, which is why we arrived late. However, the staff at Berlin on Bike let us join anyway and accompanied us to the first stop. Thank you very much!

Top cycling trip with Dutch travel guide Guy.
We rode with Guy with two couples. Loud voice and passionate narrator over the wall. In just over 3 hours much seen and heard. Top that he gave us a top 10 must see at the end. By bike the best way to discover Berlin.

Recommended!
Because of the extreme heat, my son and I were the only participants and got a private tour. We both found it incredibly fun and interesting. Our German guide (spoke good Dutch), was super nice and knew how to illuminate the experiences and events nicely from different points of view and interests. Highly recommended for several generations.
Operator response
Dear Marieke, Thank you for your wonderful review! We’re so glad to hear that you and your son enjoyed your "private tour", even in the extreme heat. It’s fantastic that our guide was able to share insights from various perspectives and made the experience enjoyable and interesting for both of you. We truly appreciate your recommendation for multiple generations, and we hope to welcome you back for more adventures in the future—hopefully with a bit cooler weather! Best wishes, The Berlin on Bike Team
