“Informative, nice personal touches, varied, really recommend it”
Reviewed by Birgit from Wipperfürth, Germany on August 3rd, 2012 Our entire family (including 2 boys aged 15 and 17) enjoyed the tour. Doing it when you're biking makes it extra fun, that way you stay interested in the (often personalized) information that's given. Moreover we saw a great deal of Berlin.

“Sehr freundlich, effektiv, spannend, informativ”
Reviewed by Margrit from Köln, Germany on April 23rd, 2013 Wir hatten das Glück mit Ferenc , unserem Guid , jemand zu treffen, der in der DDR gross geworden und später geflüchtet ist, daher beide Systeme sehr gut kannte und uns neben den bekannten Ereignissen entlang der Mauer auch einige persönliche Geschichten erzählen konnte. Die gesamte Tour kann man nur empfehlen.

“Berliner-Mauer - Privat Tour mit dem Zeitzeugen Ference - KLASSE!”
Reviewed by Kerstin from Düsseldorf, Germany on February 25th, 2013 Wir haben im Februar die Fahrradtour-Berliner-Mauer mit Ference gemacht und waren ganz begeistert. Da sich ansonsten keiner um diese Jahreszeit zu einer Fahrradtour anmeldet, kamen wir in den Genuß eine Privattour zu erleben (wir = 2 Erw. und unser 5-jähriger Sohn). Unser Sohn bekam ein Fahrrad, welches an das Fahrradvon meinem Mann gekoppelt wurde. So konnte er bei Lust und Launa in die Pedale treten, mußte es aber nicht. Die vier Stunden mit Ihm war auch o.k.. Ference ist Zeitzeuge und hat uns seine Stadt und Erlebnisse wunderbar näher gebracht. Viele Dank für den interessanten und wunderschönen Tag sow Ausflug! Familie Eisenschmidt
