They offer two regular tours in english almost every day of the week for very reasonable prices (4 hour tour= €19 including bicycle rental). They also have lists of specialty subject tours and the possibility of custom group tours.
However, the regular Berlin Wall tour was great and can be done on the spur of the moment (I did make a reservation the day before).
Our group consisted of 13 people from various places, about the right size for riding in a city. I volunteered to follow the group in a bright orange vest until a kind Dutch fellow took over to wear his national color.
A few participants had their own bicycles (Poland) and the rest of us rented bicycles (Denmark, Netherlands, Germany, Mexico, Colombia). It was a nice, slow, informative tour that took us to some non-touristy areas that I didn't know about. Our guide, Joachim, was very good and told us a lot of facts and stories during the ride.
I heartily recommend them for a great way to see Berlin!
I really like those tours that don't require you to rent a bike from them. When I travel, I usually bring my Montague along, and I've had some heated discussions with tour companies about whether I *can* ride my own bike on their tour and what they will charge me for doing so.
ReplyDeleteYou omit to mention that BoB is based in a former brewery. Afraid of being typecast?
ReplyDeleteHa ha! Isn't every building in germany a former brewery?

Berlin is a great holiday vacation! And exploring the city on bicycle is even more amazing! Tourists who want to visit Berlin should check those bike tires because they will surely have a long and fun ride!
