About Us


After years of conducting bike tours in Berlin, Fat Tire Bike Tours has become one of the largest bike tour companies in Europe. We've been written about in many magazines, tour books, and newspapers such as Lonely Planet, Rick Steves', Fodor's, Berlin Maximal, MTV Europe, and Frommer's as well as featured on numerous TV channels and shows such as the Discovery Channel and Getaway.

Why ride with Fat Tire Bike Tours?


A few other notable pillars of Fat Tire Bike Tours Berlin include:

  • Our focus: Bike tours and bike rentals are our business. As opposed to using promotional gimmicks or being a side project to walking tours, we simply focus on what we do best: providing great bike tours in a great city.

  • Our freebies: Accepting credit cards, serving up hot tea and providing gloves on cold days, storing your excess luggage, paying at the end of the tour only if you're satisfied... these are all free norms you've come to expect with Fat Tire Bike Tours. (Please note, if you reserved or otherwise pre-paid for your tour and weren't satisfied, we'll gladly refund your money at the end of the tour).

  • Our commitment: Full-time bike mechanics, insurances, safetyequipment, optional helmets, kids' bikes, special needs bikes, bike shops as opposed to open-air storage... While others skimp based on costs, we are a fully licensed and registered bike tour company.

  • Our bikes: Our fun beach cruisers are built just for us every year and are perfect for Berlin. We believe you're on vacation so let us take care of the logistics. Our bikes are insured and we're one of few insured as a bike tour operator.

  • Our services: In addition to great bike tours, from our TV Tower location we also offer bike rental, a super-fast Internet cafĂ©, highspeed wireless, cd-burning of digital camera memory, free clean restrooms and travel assistance for Berlin and abroad. We also have a second shop at the Zoo Station from which we rent bikes.

  • Our guides: Our native English-speaking guides are masters of group chemistry, well-traveled, personable, and of course very knowledgeable about Berlin. You'll be hard-pressed to find a team anywhere in Europe that has conducted more bike tours than ours! Click here to see our 2010 line-up.

Terrific Humor

I highly recommend Fat Tire Bike Tours! Ben gave us a historical ride through the great sites of Berlin and peppered it all with terrific humor at no extra charge. Super way to learn Berlin for the first or sixth time! Laugh your way through to remember building architecture and the enjoy the added benefit of exercise too!
