Experience Berlin on a school trip by bike – a relaxed ride suitable for students of all ages.

Top activity for school trips to Berlin – A bicycle tour
A guided bike tour is one of the top activities undertaken by student groups visiting Berlin and a great alternative to a classic sightseeing tour by bus or on foot.
The pace is perfect for young people: cycling interspersed with information stops where guides tell fascinating stories about Berlin. Your students will have ample opportunity to ask questions and take pictures of Berlin’s famous sights for their own social media channels – before we head to the next exciting place by bike.
Berlin is the melting pot of German and European history. Prussian discipline, the brutal goings-on of the Nazis, the Cold War between East and West and modern parliamentary democracy – a varied cycle tour to the original sites.
Why was Germany divided after World War II and a wall built? How did people live in East and West – and why are there still differences 30 years after the fall of the Wall? Join us on a bike tour with your students to find out!
These bike tours are a perfect way for students and their teachers to immerse themselves in Berlin and its intense history, as well as the history of Germany.
Our bike tours for school groups go beyond the major tourists attractions such as the Brandenburg Gate and the Government Quarter. We can also show you the real Berlin on an Alternative Bike Tour or take you on a tour along the former Berlin Wall.
Our guides have years of experience working with school groups and we place great importance on dynamic presentation with a personal touch, as well as consideration of the needs and knowledge levels of individual groups.
For a typical group size of 20 to 30 students with two teachers, we divide the class into two, with two guides leading the groups separately through the city.
Take your students on a city bike tour – a Berlin experience they will not forget!
We select the routes of our tours carefully, and our guides receive specialist training in managing bike tours. We favour routes that lead away from the busy main roads of the city, and try wherever possible to stick to quiet streets and cycle paths, for maximum safety and enjoyment.
50% of Berlin households do not own a car, and travelling by bike or public transport is the norm here, which means that car drivers are used to cyclists.
The luminous orange vests worn by our bike guides and the teacher at the back of the bike tour make us easy to spot on the roads. In Berlin it is possible to take students groups on a safe and relaxed bike tour that everyone can enjoy. enjoy a safe and relaxed bike tour, including with students.

Berlin on Bike tours usually start at the Kulturbrauerei ( “Culture Brewery” in English) in the Prenzlauer Berg district. The brewery grounds have several entrances: the best way to get to us is through the archway at Knaackstraße 97. From the underground station Eberswalder Straße (underground line 2, three stops north of Alexanderplatz) it’s a 200-metre walk.
For private tours with your own bikes, the start can be arranged individually. For an additional charge we can arrange the delivery of bikes for a private tour. This option is usually more viable for larger groups.
For a typical group size of 20 to 30 students with two teachers, we divide the class into two, with two guides leading the groups separately through the city.
We split up larger groups of students so that no more than 15 students and one teacher are in a subgroup, if possible. This way, we can explore the city safely and engage with all the students during the tour.
With its largely intact old building structure, Prenzlauer Berg is a typical Berlin district with many backyards and cosy squares. We will explore how it has constantly changed.
