About Us

WE ARE PASSIONATE ABOUT INSPIRING OTHERS

When we moved to berlin from Holland and got into this 'guiding' game we had no idea that Berlin could be so fascinating. We actually didn't get all the "Hoo-Ha" around Berlin: ​ "we just lived and worked here". ​ Little did we know that when you let the initial 'WOW' wear off, you'll have to get to know the city all over again, and she you. This happens to everyone that lives here for longer than a year. To us this was the Most bizarre experience we've ever had in a new city. It's this feeling of living in Berlin for more than a year, that we want to convey on to you. We want you to fall in love with Berlin as a Berliner, not because Wikipedia or the Lonely Planet tells you to. ​ ​For that this city is simply too Fascinating.

Are bicycles included in this tour?

Yes, the price of the tour is including one of our many bicycles.

Yes! For people who have difficulties riding a normal bicycle we do have electronic/ pedal assist bicycles

Yes, we have two tandem bicycles available. Pleas contact us so we can reserve one for your arrival.

We do, we didn't call ourselves doggy bag tours for nothing! We started out with our own dog coming along on tours, so why not yours as well. Just make sure the dog is comfortable sitting in a cargo bicycle, and of course we will go through lots of parks so the dogs can play and enjoy themselves as well.

If we can alter the starting time to make sure we'll have dry weather. If the rain starts in the middle of a tour we do have ponchos for our guests. If it snows and the roads are slippery we usually change the tour from a bike tour into either a walking tour or a tour by vehicle (if the groups are not too large).

Yes! Berlin is a safe city to ride your bike, for such a large city it's surprisingly quiet. That being said of course you have to know how to ride a bicycle and abide by the Berlin rules. For those who want to feel even safer, we do have helmets available.

In what languages do you do your tours? Our tours are in English, Dutch and German but we are able to provide you with a guide to do tours in French or Spanish.
