Cycle through Munich’s old town, parks, Schwabing, and the English Garden with a local guide, historic sights, and a beer garden stop.
“The tour was amazing. We were late and the tour had already started, but our tourguide Gabriella was so kindharted that she decided to wait for us. Then when the tour began she showed that she was as knowledgeable as kind. The tour was in German (but you can book it in English as well) and whilst we didn’t understand everything, she made us feel part of the group by engaging with us in English as well. Overall an amazing experience, not only thanks to the beautiful city of München, but our guide really was the cherry on top. Would definitely recommend!”

“A great way to see Berlin! Loved our bike tour of this city, seeing the city from another angle and learning about its history.

See Berlin’s major sights by bike on a relaxed 3.5-hour small-group tour with a local guide, comfortable bikes, and useful historical context.
“We loved our tour with Anthony. We learned so much that we wouldn't have if we had just gone to the sites by ourselves. Loved his local perspective with the historical information. Always love doing a bike tour since you can cover so much more than by a walking tour. Bikes were comfortable. Berlin was a great city for biking!”
Review of Hamburg’s 3.5-hour city bike tour, covering the Alster, St. Pauli, Speicherstadt, HafenCity and Elbphilharmonie.
“The bike tour was really fun. The ride in the elevator in the old tunnel under the harbor was amazing! I liked going over bridges and through parks. The tour guide, Alexander was great. My only complaint was that the group was definitely too big at 17. Several were left behind at every ight and we had to wait and wait for everyone to be together. There should only be about 8-10 at the most.”
Review of the Neuschwanstein bus and bike tour from Munich, with Alpine lakes, lunch, castle entry, practical costs, and honest advice.
“This experience was a relaxing way to see the castle with a variety of options. The bike ride was the most enjoyable part for me. (I probably would have even liked a longer ride). The efficiency re: ordering lunch was well done along with the castle tickets. The hike to the castle was strenuous but that was conveyed prior. Tyler did a great job with the commentary (not too much but just enough). The group was not too big although the coach could take more but that might be too many. I did not go inside the castle as our main view was to be in the countryside outside Munich.…”
Review of Berlin’s 17-kilometer bike tour through Friedrichshain, Kreuzberg, East Side Gallery, street art, parks, and alternative culture.
“The Alternative Bike Tour was awesome- a great way to cover a lot of ground & get a wonderful feel for the history and culture of these neighborhoods of Berlin. So fun to ride around like a native Berliner! Oli, our guide was amazing. So knowledgeable and with a great outlook on what makes Berlin Berlin. Completely entertaining, we really enjoyed his company as well as the other riders on our tour! Highly recommended!”
