A journey through time along the Berlin Wall. Stimulating to learn more. - Lots of kudos to our guide Oli. He led us to its construction and fall with profound knowledge of the wall and the backwater. We were a group of people who lived through the Wall. It was an exciting journey through time, during which we were also able to discover new things.

Berlin Wall with Kids - We had an amazing private bike tour in Berlin with Benny as our guide! He took on the challenging task of leading a Berlin Wall tour for our family — with kids — and absolutely nailed it. The 12 km ride was perfectly paced, full of fascinating stories, historical insights, and engaging stops that kept both adults and kids interested throughout. Benny was not only knowledgeable, but also super friendly and adaptable, making the whole experience fun and memorable. Highly recommend this tour for families looking to explore Berlin’s history in a unique and active way!

Excellent experience and overview of significant spots of interest! - We had a wonderful guide, Alex, who took us on a to some significant historical spots and monuments. He continuously provided excellent knowledge about the stops, fun facts about the city and personal anecdotes. He gave us a safety briefing in the beginning and kept checking that everyone was following and everyone was safe during the entire tour. I highly recommend this for anyone who wishes a well planned tour for a few hours.

Really worthwhile tour of Berlin Wall. - What a fabulous experience to ride around Berlin and learn more about the Berlin Wall and the Cold War. Our guide, Bert, was really knowledgeable and gave us a heartfelt insight to the life and times of people from East Berlin and West Berlin. The tour was well paced and we toured on bike paths and roads. Would really recommend this tour to get you started before exploring Berlin further.

Fun bike tour - We had a tour of Frey, he knew a lot about the wall and the division between the Allies and the Soviet Union.
We followed a large part of the course of the wall and stopped at landmarks and got extra information. Nice to do this under the guidance of a connoisseur.
