This tour had some really eye‑opening moments, and we enjoyed seeing parts of Kreuzberg that we never would have found on our own. Our guide was very nice and did a great job sharing insights about the area’s alternative culture.
That said, the experience felt very unorganized. We had paid for e‑bikes, but there was only one size available, so our only option was to switch to a regular bike. It wasn’t ideal and definitely affected the start of the tour.
While we appreciated the unique neighborhoods we explored, we probably wouldn’t choose this tour again.

Thank you for your honest feedback.
We are glad you enjoyed exploring Kreuzberg and its alternative culture, but we are incredibly sorry about the mix-up with your e-bikes. This is definitely not the standard we aim for, and we completely understand your frustration.
We will review our equipment process immediately to prevent this from happening again and ensure a smoother start for our guests.
Thank you for helping us improve.
Best regards,
The Free Berlin Team
Really interesting seeing places you wouldn't normally see. Better if you are comfortable on a bike as its not the easiest ride. Guide was really good and friendly. My second year on a trip with this company and they are very professional. All new bikes for 2026.
Response from Host, Jun 2026
Thank you so much for the fantastic review, and welcome back for your second year with us!
We're thrilled that you enjoyed exploring those hidden spots and that you noticed our brand-new fleet of bikes for 2026—we are very proud of them! Your tip about being comfortable on a bike is also super helpful for future guests, as navigating the city can definitely be a bit of a workout.
We'll be sure to pass your kind words along to your friendly guide, and we look forward to making it three years in a row next time you're in Berlin!
Best regards,
The Free Berlin Team
Karl was an amazing and knowledgable guide. What a great way to spend a day in Berlin. We saw many sights we might not otherwise have seen on a typical Berlin tour and Karl’s insight and stories made it incredible.
Response from Host, Jun 2026
Thank you so much for the amazing review!
We're thrilled that you had such a great day exploring Berlin and discovering those hidden gems you wouldn't find on a typical tour. Carl is fantastic at bringing the city to life, and we will happily pass your kind words along to him!
We hope to welcome you back for another incredible ride in the future.
Best regards,

Fabulous bike ride! We enjoyed getting to see less touristy parts of Berlin, and our guide, Rico, was super knowledgeable, friendly, funny, and safe.
The gide was friendly and knowladgeful.. we enjoyed the trip altogh we had some rain. The trip is jighly recomended to those that want to see the pther side of betlin.
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.
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!
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!

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!
Our guide Rufus was friendly and knowledgeable with a great sense of humor. Highly recommend this tour.
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!

Thanks for your feedback, Ron! Happy to hear you liked our tour, thanks for choosing us!
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!
The guide was positive and lively. Good tour with both interesting history and a good view of the alternative culture Kreutzberg has to offer.

Hey Kristin, thanks a lot for taking the time to leave a review :) Happy to hear you enjoyed riding with us
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
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!
Good guide who answered our questions and was interesting to listen to. A different side of Berlin than the classic tourist parts.
Great trip! Jake took us to some hidden gems 💎 💎 💎 of Berlin. And weather was perfect so really nice experience
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.
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!
Karl was a superb guide! Articulate, knowledgable, insightful and interesting. Well done! Will make a fine teacher someday soon.
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 new territory we hadn't been to ourselves
Wunderbar! Dankeschön für diese tolle Tadtour und die spannenden Infos über das Berlin ausserhalb der ausgetretenen Touristenpfade!

Hey, Vera! Danke schön, es freut uns sehr zu hören, dass Ihnen unsere Tour gefallen hat :)
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!
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.
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
Der Guide hat mit Begeisterung von seinem Bezirk Kreuzberg erzählt einschl. fundierter geschichtlicher Fakten.
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

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.

Rigtig god tur. Fik en masse spændende og interessante oplysninger om Berlin og de mennesker der lever her.
