Where it all began. Lovely old town atmosphere, created in the late eighties...
A timeless icon of Berlin, the TV-tower was the second tallest in the world at it's opening in 1969.
A stunning panorama! Berlin's oldest university, the old opera, a catholic cathedral, a hotel which serving once as a bank, a guard's house looking like a temple etc - simply the classic centre! And not to forget: the place where the Nazis showed their evil nature by burning thousands of books in front of the public.
Home for more than 25 Nobel Prize winners like Albert Einstein and great minds Karl Marx. By the way, a lot of our guides also study or studied here.
**Only incl. in the English version** The most famous border station of the Cold War.
Roaring traffic cross and place to be at night in the "Roaring Twenties", followed by the very definition of no man's land during the division of Berlin, Europe's biggest construction site around the Millennium, defining Berlin's complex attempt of reuniting what was formerly torn apart.
How to deal with the indescribable crimes commited by Nazi Germany? Germany tries not to bury it's dark past. It tries to learn from it. You need to see it by yourself!
Dive in and take a deep breath in one of Berlins biggest parks whose name (Garden of the Animals) has no relation to its former use as a Zoo.
THE icon of Berlin - for many reasons
Germany's parliament, surrounded by the modern government quarter, shows it's transparent dome with pride.
A lot of funny stories are being told about Germany's White House, most of them aren't true - you know, Germans aren't into jokes.
**Only incl. in the German version of this tour** This famous and liveable district is the very example for Berlin's transformation since it's reunification. Fancy bohemian flavour? This distrcit gives you the answer.
Experience the impressive architecture of Berlin’s Spree Athens

Anna was our guide and she was awesome!! I highly recommend this bike tour
Andrei shared great information, but he biked fast and through traffic, without much waiting for slower cyclists. I recommend this tour for more experienced cyclists and those who already have their bearings in Berlin, as there wasn’t much introductory information.
Thank you for sharing your feedback with us! We're glad to hear that you found Andrei's information great, but we sincerely appreciate your honest notes regarding the pace. Our goal is always to make our tours safe, comfortable, and accessible for cyclists of all levels, so we will definitely share your comments with Andrei and our guiding team to ensure we balance the group's pace better and provide a smoother experience in traffic. We hope to have the chance to welcome you back for a more relaxed and comfortable ride in the future! Best regards, The Free Berlin Team
We ran late as we got lost, the host called us and we got there and got caught up with the group. The guide was really good and very kind to look after everyone.
Thank you so much for your feedback! We're so glad we could help you catch up with the group, and it's wonderful to hear that your guide took such great care of everyone. We hope to welcome you back for another smooth ride in the future! Best regards, The Free Berlin Team
Today, we had the great pleasure of taking a private bike tour through Berlin with Amir. Amir cheerfully showed us many interesting details about his city in a very informative way and safely guided us through all the difficult intersections. We wholeheartedly recommend the highlight tour.
Vielen Dank für dieses wunderbare Feedback! Es freut uns riesig zu hören, dass ihr so eine tolle private Highlight-Tour mit Amir hattet. Er ist wirklich klasse darin, seine Begeisterung für die Stadt zu teilen und die Gruppe gleichzeitig fröhlich und sicher durch den Berliner Verkehr zu navigieren. Wir geben das dicke Lob und die uneingeschränkte Weiterempfehlung super gerne an ihn weiter! Hoffentlich bis zum nächsten Mal auf dem Fahrrad! Viele Grüße, das Free Berlin Team
A great expérience to visit Berlin on a bike ! Our guide André was very friendly and interesting. Would definitely recommend
Thank you so much for the great recommendation! We're thrilled to hear you had such a wonderful experience exploring Berlin on two wheels, and that André made the tour so friendly and interesting. We'll be sure to pass your kind words along to him! We hope to welcome you back for another ride through the city in the future. Best regards, The Free Berlin Team
As a group, we had a great tour through Berlin. Anna really did a wonderful and engaging job; we made good use of our time. Highly recommended and gladly again!
Vielen Dank für das tolle Feedback! Es freut uns riesig, dass ihr als Gruppe so eine gute Zeit hattet und Anna die Tour für euch so toll und ansprechend gestaltet hat. Wir geben das dicke Lob super gerne an sie weiter! Schön, dass ihr die Zeit in Berlin so gut nutzen konntet – wir freuen uns schon auf das nächste Mal mit euch! Viele Grüße, das Free Berlin Team
Booked the day before received confirmation. But when we got there, our tour in English was cancelled, without info. We were offered another tour in German, with partial translation. It was the wII and the wall. That's interesting for us. Quite knowledgeable from Sweden.
Thank you for sharing your feedback, although we are truly sorry that things did not go as you had hoped. It is, of course, completely unacceptable that your English-language tour was cancelled without you being informed in advance, and we are terribly sorry for the breakdown in communication. We also understand that a partially translated tour in German about the Second World War and the Berlin Wall is not at all the same experience, especially when you already have a good grounding in the subject from Sweden. We will take this on board internally to improve our booking procedures and ensure that information about changes is communicated in good time. Kind regards, The Free Berlin Team Translated with DeepL.com (free version)
Our guide Andrea gave us a great overview of Berlin. She also inquired about individual wishes beforehand and incorporated them into her tour. Thus, we rode a nice stretch through the cool Tiergarten (at 25 degrees) to see the Victory Column. The bikes were top-notch! The pace suited all participants!!
Vielen Dank für das tolle Feedback! Es freut uns riesig, dass ihr eine so gelungene Tour mit Andrea hattet, sie auf eure Wünsche eingegangen ist und auch das Tempo für alle gepasst hat. Der Tiergarten ist bei 25 Grad wirklich die perfekte Strecke! Das Lob für unsere Top-Räder geben wir sehr gerne an sie weiter. Hoffentlich bis zum nächsten Mal! Viele Grüße, das Free Berlin Team
A great tour, and in my opinion, the best way to see the sights in Berlin. My guide Anna was friendly and full of info. I was part of a small group of 5 on a chilly, but sunny day. The tour was a lot of fun, and I’d highly recommend
Thank you so much for the fantastic recommendation! We totally agree—exploring Berlin on two wheels is the absolute best way to see the sights! We're thrilled that you had so much fun with Anna, and that your small group of 5 got to enjoy the city on such a beautiful, crisp, sunny day. We'll definitely pass your kind words along to her. We hope to welcome you back for another ride next time you're in town! Best regards, The Free Berlin Team
