About this activity

An extremely insightful four-hour tour, leisurely covering about 6 miles (10 kilometers) by bike. This pervasive tour covers why Berlin was divided and how, the Berlin Airlift, tales of espionage by both the Allies and feared East German secret police (Stasi), the downfall of communism, how Berlin is dealing with its past and much, much more.

Your tour begins with an orientation to the Berlin Wall and the route you will follow, before hopping on your comfortable bikes. You will bike along several noteworthy boulevards of former East Berlin while the tour makes it's way to the Bernauer Strasse Memorial, a former crossing point between East and West.

You will also hear about escape attempts, ghost train stations, and espionage. During the tour you will gain insight into what life was like in the shadow of the Wall and how the city still copes with it's divided past today.

I would highly recommend this educational, yet entertaining, tour of Berlin focused on the Berlin Wall and the Cold War. Our tour guide, PB, was fantastic. She was extremely knowledgeable and helpful and led us through the city with ease. My husband, 12 year old son and I were all impressed by how much we learned on the tour while still having a fantastic time touring the city and socializing with our fellow tour goers. it was great being able to associate such important historic events with the sites at which they occurred. We went on the Berlin City Tour offered by Fat Tire Bikes on the day prior to this tour and were equally impressed with the tour as well as our guide, Alex. We will certainly being seeking out Fat Tire Bike tours in the future as we visit other cities.
