“We booked the Beer Bike Berlin Tour as part of a group trip and it was honestly one of the highlights of our time in the city! From the moment we hopped on, the energy was brilliant, music playing, drinks flowing, and the whole group getting into the spirit. Our guide/driver was great too: funny, laid-back and made sure we saw some fab bits of Berlin while keeping the vibes high. It’s definitely more about fun than sightseeing, but pedalling through the streets with friends, music and beer is such a unique way to experience the city. We had so many laughs and it set the tone for the rest…”
