Awesome and highly recommend this company. - Best decision me and my wife ever did. The tour is not to missed. Yes you can go to different historical sites but not have a clue what it is. The bike tour just gave us more insight and depth about the history of Berlin. Particularly, Carl (our accidental guide) is a LEGEND! This bloke deserves a raise of bar, clearly explained all details about the trip
And some of his personal opinion that made the tour even more interesting. He let the his group get involved including asking some questions and including names of the group who were in it (that includes me). Carl, good luck in your future endeavours and I know you will be a fabulous historian in university soon.

Great trip! - The tour was excellent. We were able to get around quickly on the bikes. It would have taken twice as long to see all the attraction on foot. The guide was very knowledgeable and his English was very clear and understandable.

Brilliant bike tour - Vincent gave us a brilliant tour of historical sites and a commentary to match. We had a heavy deluge of a thunderstorm and took shelter in a lovely bakery. He gave a family based account of his history and how this shaped society with the building of the wall. He was patient answering all of our questions and explaining some of the misconceptions around post war Germany.
Bikes were comfy, helmets provided and great value for money to see so many of the landmarks in Berlin.

Fun and informative bike trip - Great way to see lots of the city and learn about its history. Chris was very knowledgeable and gave us all the confidence to cycle safely in a foreign city whilst having fun and learning too.

Hours very well spent! - We are 8 friends that went on a private tour ”The Wall and Third Reich ”. We had a great time and Carl was a perfect guide! Such a nice guy, who shared so much knowledge and interesting storys with us and was very committed. It also felt safe all the time despite the traffic in some places. Some of us have been on bike tours before in several cities, and this was the best tour and guide so far!!

Recommended - Julia explained the process and the modalities well beforehand and managed prudently and confidently throughout. You wouldn't find the ways alone. She has a pleasant voice, which was also heard very well further away. The tour was informative and we enjoyed it a lot. I recommend it!!!
