East Meets West Private Biking Tour in Berlin - 61f93b51c1580fc59d539ec094d64c96

Start your tour from the heart of East Berlin and cycle through Alexanderplatz while you'll take in the views of the most important landmarks such as medieval Nikolaiviertel and one of the biggest Jewish monuments in Berlin, the New Synagogue.

While we ride our bikes across the bridge, take in the beautiful view of the Spree and enjoy the magnificent view of the new modern Central Station. Not far away we'll find the Reichstag and the government buildings with the German Chancellery. Brandenburg Gate, the status symbol of Berlin is on our route, so get ready to snap some cool photos.

We'll continue our adventure to the West side of Berlin, passing the Bellevue Castle, the Column of Victory, cycle though Tiergarten park, passing Zoo Station and Ku'damm area all the way to amazing Potsdamer Platz.. Of course, we won't miss Holocaust Memorial not far from the place where Hitler's bunker used to stand.

When the time comes, we're heading back to your starting point -Alexander Platz - where we will return the bikes. This tour is more than a step back German history: besides checking the main spots and give you local insights about the places you have visited, I will give you private recommendations to enjoy the rest of your stay.

If there's any other place that you would like to include in your tour, please let me know. I'm happy to 100% personalize this experience for you.

Our guide Miha was the star of the show and the weekend. We (4 of us) walked to the meeting point at Alexandaplatz where we met Miha. He organized the hire bikes from the selection available, and these proved to be more than adequate. We arranged a 4 hour tour of Berlin and this took in all the important sites to see. Miha spoke excellent English and provided an informative narrative, covering the important detail and to the point. We meandered through the old part of the city ever mindful of when the Walls location crossed our paths. Unfortunately Miha had to improvise due to many roads shut off for the Berlin Half Marathon the next day, but having the knowledge to get around this was a distinct advantage because I don't know what we would have done without him. This days tour was so good we booked Miha for East Berlin trip the next day for the same price. East Berlin trip was even more of an eye opener, and the beer on the boat cafe was really pleasant. We headed out along Karl Marx Strasser and swung south to see the longest portion of the Berlin wall still standing together with all the artwork on it, fantastic foto ops here. After this we dropped to the banks of the Spree and out to the marina where we had beer and coffee with Miha constantly narrating the architecture and general culture. On the return leg we stopped off at the Soviet Cemetery where 7500 souls lay at rest, quite sad but an eery reminder of what is happening now. The tours were great. We could not have done this on our own in 2 days and Miha was worth every penny. Weekend Bike Rides Around Berlin

Wij hebben de Berlin Highlights Tour per fiets gedaan onder leiding van Miha. Een perfecte manier om op een ontspannen manier de stad te leren kennen. Ook onze 3 kids (14, 13 en 11 jaar) vonden het leuk en leerzaam. Miha is een fijne, toegankelijke gids die kundig is en meedenkt. Zo hebben wij samen “Kaffee met Kuchen” gegeten/gedronken in een park ter ere van de verjaardag van mijn man. Zeker de moeite om deze tour te boeken! Super fijne tour!

It was the perfect experience to start our discovering of this extraordinary city... Then we were perfectly autonomous. Thank you Miha Wir haben alles an unserer Tour durch Berlin genossen.

Our bike tour of Berlin with Miha was by far our favorite part of the trip! It was a beautiful day and Miha was awesome, friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. He showed us all the best sites and gave us all the history behind each landmark. We felt like we were just biking with a friend showing the amazing city he lives in. He took pictures of us , showed us how to use the the train and even gave us recommendations for dinner and night clubs. I would highly recommend his bike tour!

We were six friends, most in our fifties and a teenager and Miha had to deal with our different energy levels, cycling abilities and all our many many questions. Miha coped famously with us all and knew so many interesting facts and historical stories about Berlin and is amazingly rich and varied history. We had a fun and informative and interesting 3 and a half hours with Miha that I would thoroughly recommend. East meets West meet Miha

Our family of four took a bike tour of Berlin with Miha in July 2019. Miha is an excellent host and has great knowledge of the city and history. Miha goes over and beyond and has a passion for guiding guests and customizing his tours to accommodate his guests. Our children ages 20 and 18 years of age said this was the most fun tour that we took in the 10 days of travel in Germany. Miha is the best!!Great day spent with Miha

Miha was flexible - met us at a different location than previously arranged when our bus was late. He had a good understanding of what we were interested in quickly and adjusted the tour so as to fulfil our requests - without letting us miss some very important and interesting sites! We had a fabulous time - and enjoyed Miha's friendliness and own stories about his experiences of Berlin . Would highly recommend Miha as a guide, (we have used multiple private guides in past travels and Miha stands out). Berlin bike tour

Wow ... where do I begin? Miha is amazing - quick reply to my request, great follow up to questions and he provided great directions for meeting. My sons and I met Miha at Alexanderplatte and spent the next 3 hours biking through Berlin. I asked Miha to show us Berlin through his eyes - this is his city and we wanted to see the local neighborhoods and attractions. Miha did that and so much more. We road about 13km and saw so very much. He was very knowledgeable and also funny and kind. He has a tremendous spirit and sense of humor. I cannot think how the bike tour could have been any better. Berlin is an amazing vibrant beautiful city- thanks to Miha, we understand and appreciate it even more. We had a wonderful 3 hours with Miha and I recommend him with the highest measure of confidence and sincerity. He is simply tremendous and a great person. Amazing Morning with Amazing Guide

We couldn't have been happier with the experience, Miha was great fun, knowledgable and passionate about the history of Berlin, flexible, incredibly friendly and had a great sense of humour, we all loved him! Communication with Miha in the run up to our tour was stress-free and he went out of his way to help put the tour together in a way that suited our group. On the day he was an absolute ray of sunshine! Thank you again, Miha!Miha the Magnificent!

We spent a wonderful day cycling around Berlin with a great guide Miha.We found Miha very easy company and he fulfilled our wishes to see as much of Berlin as possible in one day.Our trip started at 11.am. Following a short chat and getting accustomed to our bikes we set off.We felt very comfortable with the pace of the trip stopping off at all the major sites and given a very comprehensive and knowledgeable account at the various locations and en route.He brought us to a quaint coffee shop/cafe for lunch and a Vietnamese Restaurant for dinner. There was no time restraints on Miha and even after dinner he offered to continue with more site seeing but we had already got a great taste for the city and he offered us advice on how to get the most out of our trip the following day. Would certainly recommend this guide.Superb cycling trip around Berlin

Miha was clear, helpful and reassuring in all his communication from booking to post tour. I immediately felt at ease in his warm, attentive manner. His English is excellent, as is his historic knowledge of Berlin and the many landmarks within it. Passionate story telling including facts, alongside personal ancestral experience left me deeply impacted, and curious for more. I felt safe on the cycle pathways and 'quiet' roads (for a Londoner), and followed closely behind Miha, who stopped often to point out the smallest details, and best spots for photographs. I saw Berlin through his eyes. As promised, he tracked the route and sent this over within 24 hours, to include a slide show of my photographs. This was a fascinating and flexible tour with an accommodating guide - the highlight of my long weekend. I have already recommended Miha and 'with locals' to many friends. Thank you Miha - i'll be back. Next time in Summer! (Sarah Nov 2018)My first city tour with a local!

We cannot say enough good things about Mihai and this tour! Booking was fast and easy, Miha is warm, friendly, flexible, and knowledgeable. We had to adjust on the fly the day of our tour, due to the Velothon bicycle event but that just added to the fun. Being from Boulder, Colorado, USA, we are avid and active cyclists, but this tour is appropriate for all levels and abilities and can be customized to fit anyone! We had a great time biking all about the city and seeing the sights and hearing the history. Miha's tour helped us get the lay of the land and let us better organize our remaining time in Berlin, where there is so much to do and to see. Miha's love of Berlin is obvious and contagious; we very much enjoyed our ride with him. You will have fun, too! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!! A Great Start to Our Time in Berlin

We have just returned from a short break in Berlin. The best thing we did was Miha's bike tour. He is so friendly and a very knowledgeable guide. He took us to so many parts of the city we would have otherwise not seen on foot. Although we covered 18km, the cycling was not difficult and the city is well set up with plenty of cycle lanes. We would absolutely recommend you do this trip. Thank you again Miha from the Davison family. Miha's Bicycle tour of Berlin

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.

I can’t say enough good things about my tour with Miha! It was an incredible & amazing tour. Miha is very knowledgeable & geared my tour towards the history of Berlin & lots of fun facts along the way. He was so kind & it was a pleasure to tour with him. Miha even taught me some things I did not know about the S bahn & U bahn (such as the differences in the tickets and how to tell when the approaching train was full or semi full through the red lights.) Miha took me to the roof top of a building (I can’t remember the name) & we viewed beautiful Berlin from a different perspective. It was amazing! Miha even offered to help me purchase tour tickets and restaurant recommendations. He is a phenomenal & brilliant tour guide. I would highly recommend Miha as your tour guide. Excellent tour guide!

My family and I took the Jewish Walking Tour with Miha. We have SUCH a lovely time and Miha’s passion for Berlin and history shined through. When we needed a break from walking we stopped at a cafe to reenergize and Miha was very kind to do so. We learned so much, saw many hidden gems along the way. If we have more time in Berlin, I would have asked Miha to give up more tours. Fantastic Tour with Miha!
