Full description

Immerse yourself in an exciting journey through time into Berlin's moving and not so distant past. The tour begins in the centrally-located Nikolaiviertel, just 5 minutes on foot from the TV Tower. Start your tour where Berlin's history first began. Jump on the bike of your choice and for 15 kilometers, listen to fascinating facts and lesser-known stories about historical sites from the Nazi era and the Cold War. Knowledgeable and entertaining guides will lead you to remote corners, predominantly down side streets and bike paths, and give you the inside story. See what life was like in the once divided city and find out why it is no longer possible to access Hitler's bunker ("Führerbunker"). Follow the outline of where the wall once stood, and see former ghost stations, old bunkers, and huge buildings with eventful histories.

It would probably be the best museum in Berlin if the staff was a bit more polite and helpful.The stuff threw you out of the museum at 18:50 even thought the closing time is 19:00 and If you ask for just one last minute to read the final paragraph of the whole exhibition they will still insist you to live. So for us the staff was a problem but the exhibition was amazing.

We participated in a biking WWII tour around Berlin, that I highly recommend. Content was great, it was well prepared and our guide was knowledgeable. There is so much to see that unfortunately you can't spend too much time at each stop but this way we cover a lot of venues.

Great tour with guide Peter, who told a lot of personally experienced stories. And with the typical Berlin charm. We saw many interesting places and learned the history of the Berlin Wall. All this on a relaxed bike tour without physical exertion. Happiness with the weather was added. In a word: successful! Definitely recommendable!
