Our City bike Tour provides you with a perfect orientation to Berlin, regardless of if you're new to this great city or have experienced it many times before. You'll understand all facets of Berlin in one tour: Berlin's founding, the Prussians, Weimar Republic, Hitler and the Third Reich, as a city divided by The Wall during the Cold War, and the Berlin of today.

We cruise through delightful parks to a fantastic beer garden! You may want to bring some extra cash for lunch.

Additional Information

Most people begin with our City bike tour and then continue on a subject-specific tour of their interest or our Potsdam Bike Tour. Make no mistake - each of the tours are very different and perfect compliments rather than substitutes. In fact, straight from the meeting point they head in completely different directions. Regardless of what tour or tours you choose, you can always expect the same quality of guides, content, and atmosphere.

Also, whether you are a student/senior or not, after your 2nd tour we always give you the student/senior discount as a returning customer.
