Important information

What are the covid policies?

We guarantee sanitized bikes, helmets, and anything else required to make your experience excellent. We will provide masks for anyone who needs one as well as hand sanitizer. Masks may or may not be required depending on when you're joining us; your guide will give you all of the details before your tour begins. Your safety is our highest priority, and we want to do everything we can to ensure it.

Where is the meeting point?

This tour meets at our Alexanderplatz shop, located at the base of the giant TV Tower (Fernsehturm). You can find us on the northeast side of the tower between the Alex Café and the entrance to the TV Tower. The address is Panoramastraße 1a, 10178 Berlin.

Are reservations required for this tour?

Reservations are highly recommended, but not required. We will prioritize guests who have reserved, so if we're running low on bikes or if our group is already at maximum capacity, those without reservations may need to ride with us at a later date. But you are welcome to come to our office and try your luck if it's last minute and you don't have a reservation! We'll do our very best to accommodate you.

What do I need to bring with me on tour?

Be sure to bring an extra layer of clothing in case it gets chilly during the tour. We have spaces on our bikes where you can carry small items and/or your extra layers.

Do I need to reserve a bike?

We got you! The bike is included with the bike tour (and a helmet if you want to wear one!). We have bikes for all sizes, so just meet us at our shop and we'll help get you fit for the right bike.

Do we stop for lunch?

This tour is meant to give you a broad overview of Berlin, so while we don't have a dedicated lunch stop, we're happy to point out great places to check out on your own after the tour. If you're looking for a longer tour with a break for lunch, please select 'Berlin City Bike Tour' when checking out! This tour is approximately 6 hours, covers more of the city, and allows for a break at a local, traditional beer garden.

Is this a kid-friendly tour?

Families love our tours! Kids and infants are welcome, and we have several types of kids’ bikes, seats, and helmets to make sure everyone is comfortable on tour. You can reserve a smaller bike or child-bike accessory when checking out - simply check the box next to the corresponding item needed for your child, or leave it blank for older kids who can ride small adult bikes.

What if I haven't ridden a bike in a while?

Don’t worry, it’s just like riding a bike! Our tours move at a very leisurely pace, and we make sure that everyone is comfortable before departing. If you are at all worried, please come by our shop early to take a few practice laps.

What if it rains?

Our tours do run rain or shine, so we recommend bringing the appropriate clothing for the weather. We try our best to take cover but sometimes we are exposed to the elements. We have pocket-sized rain ponchos for sale in our shop and we highly recommend that you purchase one before tour. If you end up not needing it, we will buy it back from you- it’s a bit of a rain insurance policy!

Which museums will we visit?

As this tour is meant to explore the highlights of Berlin, we have not allocated time to enter into any museums or monuments that we see along the way. Instead, we have summarized the history and relevant information of each stop included on the tour so that you can decide what you'd like to go back and visit on your own. Some sites, like the Brandenburg Gate and the Holocaust Memorial, can be explored and appreciated outdoors.

TIP: Should you want to keep your bike longer, and many people do, you get a discount on rental following a tour. Our staff will be happy to show you exactly how to go back to any sites you would like to explore further or visit the interior.
