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.
Berlins best story tellers
We started off as guides, but soon enough we couldn't just tell you the HISTORY of a city. We had to show you the STORY of Berlin....
Are bicycles included in this tour?
Yes, the price of the tour is including one of our many bicycles.
Are 'Pedal Assist' or E-Bikes available?
Yes! For people who have difficulties riding a normal bicycle we do have electronic/ pedal assist bicycles
Does Doggy Bag Tours have Tandems available?
Yes, we have two tandem bicycles available. Pleas contact us so we can reserve one for your arrival.
Do you do tours with dogs?
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.
What if it rains or snows?
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).
Is it safe to ride a bike in Berlin?
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?
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.

Vandaag een erg leuke én leerzame fietstour gemaakt door Berlijn. Geboekt via Baja Bikes maar uitgevoerd door Doggy Bag Tours. Ondanks de kou, de sneeuw en de gladheid hier en daar, wist de Nederlandse gids Megan er toch een hele leuke én interessante fietstocht van te maken! Complimenten en we zullen jullie aanbevelen!Posted on Google Bianca Diender-SchrijerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Megan heeft ons meegenomen door Berlin mitte. De hotspots en ook voldoende gelegenheid om vragen te stellen. Kortom boek een tour.Posted on Google Alex WollaarsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Zaterdag 17 januari 26 een alternatieve fietstour door Berlijn gehad. Toen we aankwamen bleken we een 4uur durende privetour te krijgen omdat anderen niet op kwamen dagen. Gids Megan was geweldig en heeft ons plekken in Berlijn laten zien waar het merendeel van de toeristen niet komen, daarbij nam ze uitgebreid de tijd om alle verhalen hierover te vertellen. Een echte aanrader voor iedereen. Bedankt Megan! Met vriendelijke groet, Alex en NicolienPosted on Google Bea van MeerveldTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Gisteren een erg leuke tocht gedaan met Rikkie. Ze kan goed en interessant vertellen wat ons een heel goed algemeen beeld heeft gegeven van de stad. Daarnaast nog wat aanraders voor onze specifieke interesses gekregen. Na de tocht konden we even napraten met een lekkere warme glühwein. Dankjulliewel!Posted on Google Sandra HemminkTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Wij hebben een geweldige fietstour gehad door Berlijn. Timo heeft ons de meest indrukwekkende plaatsen laten zien en dingen verteld die je normaal als tourist niet hoort. Hij verteld met passie en humor. Tip: boek deze tour aan het begin van je stedentrip, zodat je daarna met een hele andere bril naar Berlijn kijkt en je daarna je bezoek wat kan verdiepen.
A really enjoyable cycling route with a great guide who shares fascinating stories about "unknown parts" of Berlin. Highly recommended.
We a group of 9 danish friends enjoyed our 3 hour trip with doggybagtours would rate it higher than 5 if possible such a great guide and a great tour! (And they’ve got cute dogs)
Today I had a fantastic bike tour with the guys from Doggy Bag Tours. Very informative and entertaining during the various stops!
If you want to see Berlin in a relaxed way by bike and hear a lot about the city, this bike tour is definitely recommended.
