Family friendly historical tour - Our family had a wonderfully easygoing bike tour around prominent Berlin city landmarks with our astute tour guide Frey. We received the perfect amount of information about sites relating to Berlins historical and political significance from the time of WWII until the fall of the wall in ‘89. The scope of these events that occurred over such a short span of time is mind boggling. Thanks Frey and BB team for a great introduction to Berlin.

Very interesting and relaxing tour by bike - I did the Wall tour by bike at the end of September 2025 together with 4 other people. The guide was very competent and knew a lot of interesting things to report. He led us along the wall to some historically exciting places and gave a lot of information at the stops. If you are interested in the topic, this tour is highly recommended. When the weather is as great as on my tour, it is all the more fun.

Great, informative tour along the Berlin Wall - Friendly reception in the Kulturbrauerei, bicycles were in good shape, helmets, gloves, tissues and water were available. David then led the group along the former wall - mostly via bicycle roads and cycle paths - with a lot of information. It was a great tour where you could learn a lot of interesting things. And this sustainably on the bike:-)
