The tour with the beer garden lunch was fabulous! Our guide Maggi ( I think that’s right- super friendly young man from Iceland) was so patient and knowledgeable. We never felt rushed and covered every single major site in Berlin in addition to some that were not expected. Loved the time we spent at beer garden for a rest, food and a beer! I can’t say enough about this tour and the information we learned in such a fun way.
Very relaxed and relaxing way to see all the main sites of central Berlin. Fatima was an extremely knowledgeable and patient guide, dealing with all questions in a very confident way. The break for lunch at a beer garden was leisurely and very tasty. This tour gives you such a good overview of the city and you can then decide which sites you want to return to. A day very well spent.
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.
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 🚴♂️
A bike tour is a great way to see a lot of Berlin in a short time. Yael, our guide was great. She made the tour entertaining and informative. She gave us lots of information and time to ask questions and take pictures. The bikes were comfortable and easy to ride, the route was flat.
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.
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
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!
Marco was a great guide, very knowledgeable and enthusiastic, 5 1/2 hrs flew by, pace was easy, could have gone longer. Highly recommend.
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.
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.
