Excellent tour, very friendly guide and very easy to make the reservation and the bikes. Very easy for everyone and it is a dream to walk around the sides full of history. Berlin is an unmissable place to visit by bicycle, with children and everything... we had a lot of rain at the end and it was even more entertaining!!!!

It was a great ride! We did the Wall exploration trip with the guide Titus, which was entertaining, exciting and entertaining. We visited places with Titus that we, as non-local Rhinelanders, would never have found on our own. Furthermore, Titus' stories as an old Berliner were enriched with personal stories. Conclusion: A cool tour that we recommend!!

We loved this tour. our guide Anha (sorry not sure how to spell his name) was very knowledgable and enthusiastic. He answered all of our questions and really helped us understand everything we were seeing. Highly reccomend! It is a decent length tour but there is a nice rest stop in the middle for coffee, sandwiches and restrooms if you like
