Guided bike tour for the whole Family – “Family Bike Tour”

Children have a unique way of looking at the world. What adults think of as thrilling historical facts, is for kids an unwelcome distraction from their smart phone. We’ve developed many ways to make a bike tour of the city exciting and fun for the entire family – that way, parents AND kids have a great time!

Come with us on a family-style expedition through Berlin’s history. These bike tours are appropriate for families with children between the ages of 3 and 14.

Our guides spontaneously customize the bike tour based on the age, interests and stamina of the youngsters involved.

Children’s bikes are available in a variety of sizes. We also have bike trailers, so your kids can be towed behind you in comfort, or bike attachments so they can help by pedaling themselves. We also have bikes with children’s seats and helmets in a wide range of sizes.

How to find Berlin on Bike

All of our tours begin at the “Kulturbrauerei” in Berlin’s Prenzlauer Berg district. The painstakingly restored brewery complex is the ideal place to test out your bike before the tour. A variety of restaurants and beer gardens just around the corner offer the perfect way to relax and reflect after a fabulous tour. The easiest way to enter the brewery is on the Knaackstraße 97, just beyond the intersection with the Danziger Straße . After that you just follow the yellow “Berlin on Bike” signs.

Directions from Eberswalder Straße metro station

  • take the exit marked:”Danziger Straße”
  • head toward the street that leads away from the elevated train tracks to the left. Cross over to the right hand side of the street.
  • after 150 meters you’ll reach the Knaackstraße, turn right. After 30 meters turn left through a large archway.
