A great way to learn about Berlin! - I "dragged" my family on this tour and everyone agreed that they had a fantastic time, including the 12- and 16-year-old. Ceri was a fantastic, knowledgeable, engaging, and patient tour guide, and provided an overview of the history of Berlin in a digestible and concise way that kept everyone interested! The ride was pleasant, easy, and we saw and learned a LOT about Berlin in a very short amount of time. This will definitely be the highlight of our trip to Berlin!!

Excellent tour for the whole family! - This bike tour was fantastic! Went with spouse and 12 and 14yo kids on a 5pm tour. Our guide, Sam, was extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and helpful. He pointed out all kinds of stuff we would've missed on our own, provided us with important history lessons and context for all the sights, and made everything fun. We learned so much! This was our first time doing a bike tour and we will definitely do it again, much preferred it to walking and it's a great way to see a big city like Berlin. 100% recommend!!
