Full description

A guided bicycle tour is the best way to discover Berlin. Cycling is not only an easy way to get around the city but also brings you close to the action! Even visitors who already know Berlin well are amazed at the new perspectives they see on this tour. This tour usually runs on bike paths and safe, quiet roads. Start at the Kulturbrauerei in Prenzlauer Berg and cycle toward Volkspark Friedrichshain and Karl-Marx-Allee. In Friedrichshain, bike around Boxhagener Platz and the RAW Tempel. This area is home of great nightlife, but there's still plenty to see during the day! Continue along the East Side Gallery and over the Oberbaumbrücke to Kreuzberg. Discover back courtyards, explore beautiful parks, and ride along the banks of the River Spree. See Görlitzer Park, and experience the alternative way of life in the colorful SO36 district of Kreuzberg. You’ll not only learn many interesting facts but hear various anecdotes about the city and insider tips.

An interesting trip through the districts of Friedrichshain and Kreuzberg, plus curious stories and informative information from our competent, humorous guide Titus. Having been on the bike for over three hours with appropriate breaks was a great experience for my two boys aged 9 and 10! Highly recommended, always with guide Titus!

Leader Carrie was so friendly and knowledgeable.

A most enjoyable tour - we really felt like we were seeing something of the alternative Berlin. Intriguing and refreshing! Cycling in the busier city streets could have been hair-raising, but Carrie was careful to keep us all together without us feeling we were being 'shepherded'. She really knew her stuff, too - an excellent guide :)

Interesting, informative and fun.

This was a really great way to see bits of Berlin we would never have known to visit. It took us away from the usual tourist sights into areas which were cool, trendy and a little alternative. My only regret is that we didn't do this sooner in our holiday as we would have gone back to visit some of these places again.
