Highly recommended

Fabulous bike ride! We enjoyed getting to see less touristy parts of Berlin, and our guide, Rico, was super knowledgeable, friendly, funny, and safe.

Recomended

History outside of the Core!

Estha_P, Jun 2025
I was looking for Berlin's famous counterculture. This was a glance at how much and how fast Berlin is changing. Ricco was passionate, knowledgeable and fun.

A nice trip slightly off grid

Linda_M, Oct 2024
Very nice guide who told us personal stories. It's good to see parts of Berlin slightly off the beaten track. Wear tight trousers because the bike chain gets them dirty...

Response from Host, Apr 2025

Thanks for the great feedback—and the solid fashion advice! 😄 We're glad you enjoyed the tour and the guide’s personal touch. Exploring the lesser-known corners of Berlin is always a highlight, even if it comes with a bike chain tattoo on your trousers. We'll consider adding a "tight pants" warning to the prep list!

Interesting and enjoyable tour

Divera_B, Aug 2024
The tourguide showed us a part of Berlin that we would otherwise never go to. He opened our eyes to what it was like during the wall and after. He even was able to translate the difficult words to Dutch!

Response from Host, Aug 2024

Hey, glad to hear you discovered somethign new with us! We strive to keep our tours authentic and enterntaining, happy to hear you enjoyed the experience!

Great way to see the real Berlin while biking

Eric_S, Jul 2024
Our guide Rufus was friendly and knowledgeable with a great sense of humor. Highly recommend this tour.

Such a fascinating exoerience

Ron_W, Jun 2024
Bjorn provided some really interesting and thoughtful insights into the alternative culture that makes Berlin such a fascinating experience. The tour was well-planned with many really enjoyable highlights especially in Kreusberg which we have subsequently revisited. Highly recommended!

Response from Host, Jul 2024

Thanks for your feedback, Ron! Happy to hear you liked our tour, thanks for choosing us!

Relaxing

Laura_A, May 2024
Relaxing ride on the river with a great guide. Lots of great architecture to see and plenty of stories to tell. Cold beer on board!

Funky cultural and historical tour

Kristin_G, May 2024
The guide was positive and lively. Good tour with both interesting history and a good view of the alternative culture Kreutzberg has to offer.

Response from Host, May 2024

Hey Kristin, thanks a lot for taking the time to leave a review :) Happy to hear you enjoyed riding with us

Excellent cycling tour, off the beaten track

Roisin_C, Oct 2023
Excellent tour, very informative. I would highly recommend it. Loads of great information and stories from Jake ,our wonderful guide. I would recommend this above any other tour in berlin

Berlin by bike

Sara_T, Aug 2023
Our guide Jake gave us a great and in depth insight of Berlin. We saw parts of the city which surely we would have missed strolling on our own. We really enjoyed the tour!

Interesting other parts of berlin

Katrin_H, Aug 2023
Good guide who answered our questions and was interesting to listen to. A different side of Berlin than the classic tourist parts.

Hidden gems

Susanne_H, Jul 2023
Great trip! Jake took us to some hidden gems 💎 💎 💎 of Berlin. And weather was perfect so really nice experience

Hidden history revealing itself

Louella_A, Jun 2023
Vincent is a brilliant tour guide with so much knowledge of the history and culture of Berlin. He showed us places we probably would have never gone to and places that has a strong sense of community.

Fun!

Juergen_S, Jun 2023
Karl was a great guide. We had a very interesting tour learning fun facts about Berlin. We had a great time and will recommend to others Thank you Karl!

Fun and interesting!

Jim_F, Oct 2022
Karl was a superb guide! Articulate, knowledgable, insightful and interesting. Well done! Will make a fine teacher someday soon.

Another side of Berlin

Nicola_C, Jun 2022
Very enjoyable and well organised. Bjorn is a great guide and has very positive energy, I Iearnt so much! Complements and adds depth to what tourists would normally see in Berlin. Definitely worth doing

Fun, informative and covered completely...

Peter R, Sep 2016
Fun, informative and covered completely new territory we hadn't been to ourselves

Wunderbar! Dankeschön für...

Vera_S, May 2024
Wunderbar! Dankeschön für diese tolle Tadtour und die spannenden Infos über das Berlin ausserhalb der ausgetretenen Touristenpfade!

Response from Host, May 2024

Hey, Vera! Danke schön, es freut uns sehr zu hören, dass Ihnen unsere Tour gefallen hat :)

Kennis maken met Berlijn

Annemarie_v, May 2024
Ik vond het heel bijzonder langs allerlei delen van oost naar west te fietsen zo vlak langs de muur. Wat een swingende stad. De toer was heel divers en op deze manier is het goed kennis te maken met veel delen van Berlijn. De gids was geweldig. Zorgde voor veiligheid en was enthousiast en betrokken.

Response from Host, May 2024

Hey, thanks a lot for your review! Glad to hear you enjoyed the tour!

Rauw Berlijn in een super fietstour

Debby_B, Aug 2023
Onze reisgids Jake vertelde erg enthousiast en had interessante weetjes. Hier en daar gooide hij er wat persoonlijke ervaringen in waardoor de tour nog meer ging leven. De rauwheid van Berlijn wordt goed duidelijk met deze tour.

Cool

Christophe_R, Apr 2022
Expérience sympa, à faire plutôt en arrivant, personnel et guide sympa, bonnes anecdotes, tout le monde peut le faire, c’est pas trop sportif, on s’arrête souvent pour écouter les explications, je recommande même si on s’attendait à faire plus de vélo et moins d’explications

Sehr gute Radtour in Kreuzberg

Margarete_G, Oct 2021
Der Guide hat mit Begeisterung von seinem Bezirk Kreuzberg erzählt einschl. fundierter geschichtlicher Fakten.

Mala experiencia

Israel_G, Sep 2021
No fue nada buena porque no pude vivirla, me cancelaron la experiencia, comentando que me lo cambiaban por otro y al llegar al lugar no encontré ningún grupo

Response from Host, Sep 2021

Hola Israel, Siento mucho que no hayas podido disfrutar del tour deseado con nosotros. El 25 de septiembre te esperamos a las 14:24, como habías resevado, para un tour en inglés, pero debe haber habido una confusión en cuanto a horarios si dices que no encontraste ningún grupo. Por desgracia en temporada baja no podemos asegurar que vayamos a tener suficientes reservas para que todos nuestros toures en diferentes idiomas vayan a tener lugar. Intentamos, en la medida de lo posible, ofrecer alternativas. Lo siento mucho y espero que la proxima vez podamos cumplir mejor con tus deseos. Faima

Virkelig god oplevelse

Berit_G, Jul 2020
