Itinerary
Meet and greet the tour guide and group in Alexanderplatz, a large public square and transport hub in the center of Berlin. After getting fitted for a Beach Cruiser bike and helmet, there is a brief introduction to Berlin before beginning the ride around and the capital city and cultural center of Germany.
Because there is so much to see in Berlin, this tour takes advantage of the many bike paths the city offers. More than 95 percent of the tour takes place on bike paths and through parks. Also, Berlin is quite flat and easy to traverse by bicycle. With frequent stops to learn about the sites and to take pictures, it all makes for a most enjoyable way to explore this fascinating place.
See one of the last remaining sections of the Wall itself. Stand above Adolf Hitler's bunker and recount the final days of the Third Reich. Check out Checkpoint Charlie, the best-known crossing point between East and West Berlin during the Cold War.
Pedal to the famous Brandenburg Gate, one of Berlin’s most important monuments. It was a symbol of division between Berlin and Germany during the Cold War, but it is now a national symbol of peace and unity. And visit the Reichstag Building, the meeting place of the German Parliament.
Ride through the beautiful Tiergarten Park, Berlin's largest and most popular park. Then stop at a beer garden for lunch (own expense) to experience Berlin as the locals do (full-day tour only).
Other stops on the tour include Museum Island, with its collection of five world-renowned museums; Potsdamer Platz, a public square and traffic intersection in the center of Berlin; Gendarmenmarkt’s German and French cathedrals and much more.
Throughout the tour, the guide provides ample information about Berlin’s past and present—and maybe even offers some insight into where the city is headed in the future. It’s a great introduction to the city of Berlin and all that it offers its visitors and residents alike.

I loved this experience. Sam, our guide was great and taught us so much about the history of Berlin. We saw other biking tours around but our group was smaller - only 8 people. I would recommend this experience to anyone going to Berlin.

Response from Host, Apr 2026
Thank you so much for your kind words and recommendation!
We’re really happy to hear that you had such a great time on the Berlin City Bike Tour. It’s awesome that you enjoyed both the experience and the smaller group setting — we truly believe it makes a big difference. Sam will be especially glad to hear your feedback; he’s passionate about sharing Berlin’s history in a fun and engaging way.
We hope to see you again on another ride in the future 🚴♂️

Marco was excellent & knowledgeable of the history here in Berlin. Learned so much!!!
We had many obstacles because of the Marathon pre festivities but he navigated with expertise!! I am really happy with this tour & with Marco. Always asked if we had questions and gave us time to take pictures.
Gary_F, Sep 2025
A great way to see Berlin in a day with a very knowledgeable tour guide, much better than walking all day. Our tour guide was Yael, a 34 year old woman from Israel who had immigrated to Germany a bit over 3 years ago. She was charismatic and passionate with a wealth of knowledge to impart on us. Apparently in addition to being a tour guide she worked the improv clubs as a standup comic and of course supported herself as a waitress. I would highly recommend the tour, especially if you are lucky enough to have Yael as your guide
David_M, Sep 2025
An excellent day spent getting to know Berlin in a small group.
Marco was a brilliant guide-great fun, and extremely knowledgeable. We covered quite a lot of highlights at a very easy pace, and learned so much. A far better way to introduce yourself to a city than a hop on hop off bus tour!!! Thanks Marco and Fat Tire!
Ken_K, Sep 2025
Marco was a great guide, very knowledgeable and enthusiastic, 5 1/2 hrs flew by, pace was easy, could have gone longer. Highly recommend.
Wendy_C, Sep 2025
Marco is an extremely knowledgable guide. He made the history "come alive". It was fun and understandable. Great guide! Easy biking. Plenty of stops to take pictures. Excellent lunch stop.
ANDREA_W, Aug 2025
We loved the ebike as it was cooler. We enjoyed the 5 hrs and beer garden lunch. Had a very nice and knowledgeable guide. He took great care of us. I would never have tried biking Berlin without a guide. We covered a lot of ground and learnt a lot of history. Absolutely fabulous tour.
Carolanne_M, Jul 2025
This was excellent value for money! The tour guides were friendly, attentive and knowledgeable! It was a fantastic, immersive experience of all the must see spots of Berlin, with hugely informative historic lessons from our tour guide Yaela!
Andrea_S, Jun 2025
Great way to see Berlin in a short amount of time! Our tour guide was knowledgeable and had a great personality. Highly recommend.

Fantastic Bike Tour Experience in Berlin
We had a great experience with Fat Tire on our bike tour through Berlin. The tour was well-organized and informative, even though the weather wasn’t on our side. Luckily, the team came prepared with all the necessary gear to make the ride safe and enjoyable.
A special mention goes to our amazing guide Alba, who delivered detailed and engaging explanations at every stop. Her knowledge of Berlin’s history and landmarks was impressive. She was also supported by her assistant Yamel, who contributed to the smooth flow of the tour. Together, they made a great team—knowing exactly where to take us and how to bring the history of the city to life.
Despite the cloudy skies, we had a memorable and enriching experience. Highly recommended!
Gale_K, Apr 2025
Great way to learn about the city and the history. Benti was super witty and knowledgeable. We had an amazing time❤️
Susan_S, Oct 2024
We had a fun and professional guide, Rhys, he had excellent knowledge of historical, political, social and cultural events which created the Berlin of today. Great value, 6 hours of true entertainment jam packed with information, facts and a few good yarns!
Sandra_F, Oct 2024
This was a great fun way to get round many of the must see sights in Berlin. We toured with Thor who was a great guide. He gave us a “history lesson” which was interesting and easy to understand. This was our first day in Berlin and it gave us an overview and an idea of the sights we wanted to visit in more depth over the next couple of days. Thor also spent time giving us suggestions of other things to see and areas to visit which were off the tourist track.
Megan_M, Oct 2024
This is a great way to see a lot of the big highlights in a short time. Absolutely packed with interesting information and history.
VanessaC, Oct 2024
My partner had business in Berlin so I tagged along and toured the city while he was at work. the day-long bike tour was the perfect introduction to the city. Sam was so knowledgeable and kind - he answered our many, may questions and kept us clear about the rules of the road in Berlin. This tour was totally worth the price. Thanks!
Sue_S, Sep 2024
We were a party of 4 and all thoroughly enjoyed our 6 hour tour.Our guide was so enthusiastic and knowledgeable. Highly recommended tour.
CHRISTINA_E, Sep 2024
My son and I had an absolute blast! Our guide Nick taught us so much about the area. Highly recommend
Jason_B, Sep 2024
Our guide was fantastic! Super informative and engaging. I can't remember his name but I would recommend him if I could!
Erica_C, Sep 2024
Nick was an amazing guide and leader! We had a great time despite rain in the beginning of our tour. We learned so much about the history of Berlin with each stop and the lunch spot was delicious! The 6 hour option was so worth it!
Mark_S, Aug 2024
We had a fantastic experience and discovered so much about the history of Berlin. Simon was a tremendous guide who gave us a captivating experience from start to finish. Highly recommend this cycle tour to anyone. First class.
Tiffany_G, Aug 2024
We went on the 6-hour English tour with Nick— it was fantastic! He really knows the history he talks about and he’s clearly in love with Berlin. He’s very enthusiastic and fun to be on tour with. He’s also very kind and caring, as I had an incident with my pants catching in the bike, and he offered to get ice, to have someone pick me up, to stop the tour. Very kind. None of that was necessary. Loved this tour!!!!
Roberto_S, Aug 2024
The tour was amazing and the guide was even better. There is so much history covered in a day. It’s worth it!!
jillcburton, Aug 2024
Our guide Carlo was excellent and kept us all interested for 6 hours. The biking was easy, and Carlo ensured we stayed together and that we saw lots of the great places of Berlin. We had a really fun group and it was a very enjoyable way to spend the day. Carlo was incredibly helpful after the tour with ideas and suggestions for future plans!
Anusha_G, Aug 2024
This bike trip is one of the best trips I’ve had in a while. Nick was funny and explained things in a fun way. I didn’t have to plan anything which was awesome. Riding bikes with a bunch of kind hearted strangers in a new city was surreal. Thank you city bike tours for this wonderful experience.
Kristi_L, Jul 2024
Carlo was great! So knowledgeable and funny. It was a super blend of riding in a great city and history. I totally recommend this.
Paula_R, Jul 2024
Simon was a fabulous guide very knowledgeable. The tour is a must not hard at all. Great information, good pace and amazing history shared. Highly recommend for a great day out!! Excellent way to see Berlin and you see soooo much in the six hours.
Gerald_B, Jul 2024
Our guide, Simon, provided a wealth of information about Berlin and it’s history, in an interesting, clear, and entertaining manner. He’s a wonderful storyteller!
Deon_W, Jul 2024
Thoroughly enjoyable and well worth the money. Thanks Simon M! Very good way to get an overview and decide what else to explore afterwards.
Angela_E, Jul 2024
Binti was amazing. She is very knowledgeable and speaks multiple languages. She was also very personable, warm, and welcoming. This was a very worthwhile experience. It did not feel like 6 hours at all. I could have easily done 2 more. It was not a rushed experience, would do it again.
pradya_t, Jul 2024
Sam is an informative guide and passionate in history. We liked his sense of humor and easy-going attitude. It was approx 12kms for a-6day tour.
