Take this tour if you'd like to see the funkier parts of Berlin. Our tour guide, Anna, was incredible. She knew the history, areas and vibe because she lived it and was/is part of the community. She's incredibly effervescent and a real joy to be with. She related incredibly well to the tour group and my 11 year old son. You will see the cultural highlights of both the DDR and current Germany. You'll see such places as RAW and bike down Karl Marx Allee and see all of the mid-century architecture. Overall it was fascinating to see thriving artist activities in a city know for its creativity and openness. In case you can't tell, I highly recommend this tour.
Please note that the traffic (both auto and bike) can be a bit harrowing, especially for a younger kid, but Anna does a great job.

Response from Host, Sep 2024
Dear Sandra,
We are glad to hear that you had a good time on our 'Alternative Berlin Bike Tour' with our guide Paul.
If the conditions, such as the great weather and bikes running well, are also right at the end, then there's hardly anything left to wish for, is there!? :-)
Maybe we'll see each other again on a guided bike tour at Berlin on Bike.

Our guide Anna was amazing. Apart from all her knowledge of the area, she was able to get peoples names into her head and remember them. She was so enthusiastic about what she was showing us and it rubbed off onto us.

Our guide Anna from Sweden gave both personal perspectives and experiences, mixed with her research on the various street art crews. A great way to experience hidden parts of Berlin.

The guide was very knowledge of local neighborhoods and alternative art and other cultures. Definitely got to see parts of the city that we would not have seen on a standard guided tour. The guides passion for the topics came through. If you enjoy street art, the art scene in general, quirky neighborhood bars and clubs, neighborhoods that include squatter encampments, stories of culture clashes, "untold" stories of the Wall, and a ride through "regular" neighborhoods, this is for you.
Response from Host, Oct 2022
Thanks a lot for the great feedback! Happy to hear you enjoyed our Alternative Berlin Tour and got to see parts of the city that you would have otherwise missed and even some parts of the Wall. You summed up nicely what the tour is about. :)
Hope to see you again some time!
Best, Judith

Fantastic guide, and perfect balance of bike time, park time, neighborhood exploration, and historical background talk. I couldn't imagine a better bike tour of Berlin!!
Response from Host, Apr 2021
Hi Kevin
We appreciate your sum up of the bike tour in very little words. - Thanks for your feedback and hopefully see you soon in Berlin
Jordan W, Oct 2016
When they say Alternative Berlin they are messing around. This tour took us to areas we would never have thought of going to. Definitely worth going on and we will definitely be revisiting some of these spots next time we're in Berlin, especially RAW! Thanks Klaus!
Response from Host, Apr 2021
You are so right! Berlin has so much to offer! Riding off the beaten tracks gives you a better feeling of Berlin. Looking forward to have you in Berlin again.
Raymond_D, Sep 2016
GREAT tour! It does provide another side of Berlin likely not to be seen if you don't do this!
Response from Host, Apr 2021
Hi Jerry ... thanks for the kind feedback.
Philippe L, May 2016
We did this alternative Berlin ride right after the highlights, and the group was much smaller. So, it was fantastic because there are less waiting moments for thengroup to get together. Because of that, Lauren has even more time to dedicate to stories bout Berlin. Cycling was not a problem at all because Berlin is fairly flat, but it is definitely a longer ride. We loved it! Thanks
Response from Host, Apr 2021
Thanks for summing up what you experienced. We are confident that more Berlin visitors will bike Berlin like you did.

Dear Maya,
We are delighted that you had such a good time on our Berlin Alternative bike tour with our guide Edgar.
And all the better that it could even take place spontaneously in your mother tongue! Sometimes things just fall into place.
If you're ever in the city again, come and visit us.
