Highlights
- Done in English
- Explore the city by bike, soaking up the local atmosphere

With 6 miles (10 km) by bike, this tour shows why Berlin was divided and how the Berlin Airlift was built, tales of espionage by the Allies and the East German secret police ( Stasi), the fall of communism, and how Berlin is coping with its past and much more.
Your tour begins with an orientation to the Berlin Wall and the route you'll be following, before getting on your comfortable bike. You walk down the main boulevard of former East Berlin to reach the remaining Berlin Wall – over 3.300 feet (1 km) of graffiti-painted Wall. Cycling along more than 3 miles (5 km) from where the wall exists allows you to understand the differences (many that still exist) between life on both sides of the wall.
After a lunch break in a typical German beer hall, the tour continues with additional checkpoints, evacuation stories attempts (some successful, some not), the last of the round deathstrip watchtowers, Potsdamer Platz, the Gate of Brandenburg and much more. This is the perfect time for a bite to eat and a drink, as well as hooking up your guide for insider information. Experience Berlin like the locals!
Although a handful of sites (Potsdamer Platz and the Brandenburg Gate) are featured on this Berlin bike tour, the information assures you on this tour that is tailored to the Berlin Wall theme. It is suitable for those who want to better understand the Cold War and ensures almost no overlap with the other Berlin bike tours available.
