Great way to see a lot of the highlights - 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.

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... - 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

A perfect introduction to Berlin - 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!

Best way to see Berlin in a day. - 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.

Highly recommend Fat Tire Tours - Carlo was an amazing tour guide, and I really enjoyed his tour despite the pouring rain. He was deeply knowledgeable about Berlin's history, I loved his curiosity and enthusiasm. He also gave clear directions and shepherded the group expertly.
