What you can expect
Start your tour at Alexanderplatz and continue along Karl Marx Allee, once the most prestigious residential avenue of East Berlin. Continue to Ostbahnhof which used to be the central train station of East Berlin and bike along the famous East Side Gallery with beautiful street art.
Continue along the former east port Osthafen now turned into Media Spree with its modern and old port architecture and a beautiful view of Oberbaum Bridge and Molecule Man Sculpture in the river Spree.
Interested in discovering a very old peninsula with its 5000-year history and its recent industrial and brewery history? I can show you around an ancient Alt-Stralau that is changing rapidly.
The tour will continue into the Alt-Treptow district and the wonderful Treptower Park where you will be able to admire the impressive Soviet War Memorial. I'll tell you everything about the history and give you local insights about it.
Before crossing the former border back to East again I can point out a place where snipers used to watch and shoot at people who tried to escape from East to West Berlin and where escape tunnels under Berlin Wall were built.
We can stop for a snack and a drink at the famous Markthalle 9 (closed on Sundays) and later discover why a creative Berliner decided to build a tree house right next to the old Berlin wall.
Your tour will end either at Ostbahnhof or Alexanderplatz, depending on time.
If there's anything that you would like to change or add on this tour, please let me know. I can always personalize it 100% just for you.

We did private tour with Miha the Wall and hidden places in Berlin. It was very good and we experienced Berlin away from the crowds, I specially liked riding the banks of Spre and the Soviet soldiers memorial in Treptower park.

Know a little (but not a lot about Berlin) I asked Miha to create a tour which showed interesting sites, little known facts and cultural highlights of the amazing city of Berlin. Although one your can never do it justice, Miha put together an amazing bike tour itinerary which opened up the city even more to a new visitor. It was great to see new and intersting neighbourhoods, architecture, cultural points of interest, local knowledge and entertaining chatter all the way full of facts and stories which made for an amazing tour. I would not hesitate to recommend Miha for a tour beyond the ordinary and one that you will remember well from your Belrin visit.Detailed, interesting and entertaining!

Miha met my family and I in East Berlin, and took us on a bike tour round the area, including the Berlin wall, the memorial in Treptow, Karl Marx Alle, Friedrichshain and Kreuzberg. He was friendly and easy going, patient with the slower pace my kids needed, and flexible when the weather didn’t look like it was going to go our way! I would highly recommend a tour with Miha. Great bike ride round East Berlin

From our first emails to meeting for our tour, Miha was a pleasure to work with. He replied promptly to all of my inquiries well in advance of our trip. We knew exactly where to meet up and he was kind and engaging. He shared about himself his life and all he knew about Berlin. He took us to places we were not going to see (we were on a tour and have never before travelled to Europe) and offered us some options on the tour. We would definitely recommend booking with Miha and even at the end of our ride told us to feel free to contact him if we had any questions or needed suggestions while in Berlin. Thank you Miha, we wish you well. Fun and knowledgeable

Miha showed us Berlin on a private biketour for 2. Berlin "of the beaten higligttracks". How do Berliners live. Very interesting different images of Berlin. Miha knows the city and his history and it was very nice to go a bit further in our talks. I would recommend Miha to anyone who wants to experience Berlin on a beatiful, personal biketour.

We experienced a great tour through areas of Friedrichshain, Kreuzberg and Alt-Treptow which we would not have seen without Miha. Miha was very friendly, open and has a huge knowledge about history facts around the places we passed. We can fully recommend this tour and also Miha of course.Great experience with new insights

Our Hidden Neighborhoods of East Berlin and Berlin Wall Bike Tour was the highlight of our visit to Berlin last weekend. From the minute we signed up, Miha was responsive to questions and clearly knowledgeable and enthusiastic about Berlin. We saw parts of the city we never would have seen or would not have know the history behind their significance if we weren't with Miha to point them out. Despite it being a bit chilly and a little drizzly, we had the best time and so so much of what was East Berlin. He modified our tour when we wanted to spend more time at the Markthalle Neun. Love the flexibility a private tour allows. I highly recommend Miha for a tour when in Berlin!Take a Berlin Bike Tour with Miha

We rode our bikes through areas of Berlin we would not have visited otherwise.
Berlin is flat....so it was a nice, leisurely ride with plenty of cycle lanes. Great intro to Berlin

My family had a wonderful tour with Miha. He is incredibly friendly and very knowledgeable about the history and culture of Berlin.
We rode along beautiful East Berlin avenues, visited the Russian Memorial, passed through trendy suburbs and had lunch at a traditional Berlin market. Miha was great with the kids and clearly loves his business - perfect way to see the city as a local!Excellent tour / very knowledgeable guide

Miha is an excellent guide who showed us some of Berlin’s sights that we would not have otherwise gone to or found ourselves. He was extremely helpful and informative and even showed us the best local chicken joint - the food was incredible!

Miha is a fun, excited and energetic guy! He took us on a Berlin's secret districts & berlin wall bike tour in the east of Berlin! Miha has a lot of experience due to the time he’s been giving his tours. He has much information to tell, you only have to ask the questions and the stories and knowledge he shares comes so easily to him. It was a bit cold at the end of the day when we had our tour, everyone of us were so cold that we didn’t had so many questions. Thereby we already had seen some of the hotspots Miha wanted to show ourselves by accident, so that was unfortunate. But it didn’t stop him from fill in the time and it was so nice of him to show us places to go (like the cocktailbar) and the angry chicken place. Afterwards we went for sushi and that place that Miha recommended, it was super delicious! He gave us such nice tips. Also Miha made a recap video which was awesome, because we could see the whole bike tour we did on an app. I would definitely recommend Miha to everyone! Berlin’s secre district and berlin wall to

Had a relaxed cycle around sections of Berlin discovering known attractions like the Berlin Wall and lesser known areas such as the Soviet commemorative park in memory of the role Russia played in the liberation of Berlin. Miha was very informative and easy going. To finish off the morning, we enjoyed a great lunch with Miha at his favourite chicken place. Dilish. No regrets, Miha was a fine host. Berlin Bike Tour

Great tour with Miha. Go if you want to see beyond general touristy places. Three hours on the bike covers a lot of sites, giving you different perspective of Berlin. Miha was punctual, courteous and provided highlights of non-overwhelming information. Highly recommend. Recommended

Going on the tour with Miha is definitely one of our top highlights of our European holiday.
Miha was extremely knowledgable of the area and the history of Berlin. He was able to answer all the questions we had and was a great guy just to have a chat with.
The bike tour was a great way to see Berlin and the areas that most tourists wouldn’t go to.
I’d encourage any tourist to Berlin to do a tour with Miha.The beauty of Berlin

We were on a 4 hours bike tour with Miha and had in advanced asked him to introduce us to places and districts not frequently visited by tourists. We had a great time. Miha was a very nice guy, informal and with a lot of knowledge about the history of Berlin itself and the places we biked to and through! We highly recommend him as guide and will certainly ask him to join us next time we are in Berlin. Fortunately withlocals has a wide range of tours on their menu😀 great concept! 👍🤩Great guide

We had a great time with Miha as he showed us around Berlin and took us to some of the places we wouldn't see if we had followed a mainstream guide. We were 5 guys who are interested in history and beer, so Miha had planned a perfect combination for us. This was a really nice day and we would like to recommend Miha to everyone else who wants to see the real Berlin. Great tour with the guys!

A friend recommended we book with Miheal and we couldn't have been more pleased with the experience. He was knowledgeable and friendly - providing insights on the history of the city, giving us advice about the nightlife options, and making us feel welcome. Our bike ride took us to areas we would have never found on our own. I plan to book again on our next trip - I know he has more to share!See the hidden gems of Berlin with Miha

This was my first time in Berlin and I didn’t choose the tourist highlights although even on this ‘off the beaten track’ tour there were large groups of tourists going through these areas. Miha was very knowledgeable and helped orient me to the area and point out the street art. We had a beautiful sunny spring day to explore Berlin and I appreciated the artisanal coffee shop he took me to. The only downside was that he arrived late and could have been better at communicating this to me. He did answer quickly once I messaged him on the app. Great street art tour

Miha was lovely. So informative too. Gave us a refresh of school history too as we were a little confused 😵💫 at times with Germanys and Berlin’s history. We loved it. Saw some awesome artwork on the walk too. Would recommend Miha as your tour guy. Really enjoyed our 3 hours with him. Thank you from your Aussie guests. Fun art and sights tour

We have a 12 & a 5 year old so It is not easy to lead a tour with children. But he was very patient & tried to tailor the tour to suit the family needs. He brought us to the key attractions and he took into consideration where we like to visit and dropped us off at our first x’mas market. ( we were doing a road trip in Germany) My son left his phone at the Holocust memorial he was quick to offer to go back to look for the phone. And by the grace of God, we found it! Thanks to the staff onsite who kept it safe for us.
Overall, it was a great trip by Miha , thanks Miha!! A patient & experienced guide.

More about me
I am a man of many professions that has been living in and loving Berlin for the past 20 years.
I have travelled all over the world and was often a tour-guide for either my business customers or friends.
Since my grandfather was a prisoner and survivor of Dachau concentration camp that part of history is of special interest for me.
Besides the Berlin essentials I would also like to show special places and things that tourists do not see on a regular tour, take you to special little bars and restaurants that are known to locals only.
I would like to invite you to join me on my tour of this extraordinary and special city.
