Quick Details
The main purpose of a school trip to Berlin is to get to know German history where it happened. The Nazi terror, the GDR past with the Berlin Wall, barbed wire and Stasi prison, visits to the Bundestag and more.
With all this it’s easy to overlook that Berlin is also a beautiful, green and livable city full of surprises. Our tour Oases of the City presents these different faces of Berlin. We cycle through parks, residential areas and sometimes along the water and watch the people in their everyday life. Just what you need after all that history.

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 a volunteer at the back of the bike tour make us easy to spot on the roads. In Berlin it is possible to enjoy a safe and relaxed bike tour, including with children.
Spacious parks, secluded spots by the water, former factories that are used to produce art today, forgotten monuments and surprising views.
Each of our guides has created their own personal oases tour from a number of exciting places. On an exclusive tour, we can accommodate your wishes.
Let’s find out what Berlin has to offer besides tourist attractions and lots of history – a peek behind the scenes.
All Berlin on Bike public bike tours start at the Kulturbrauerei (means “Culture Brewery”) 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. Delivery of our bikes for your private bike tour is also possible for an additional charge – but this is usually only worthwhile for larger groups.
On average our group bike tours consist of between eight and twelve participants. On our regular bike tours, fifteen people per group is our maximum. If there are more registrations, we provide more guides, to ensure that groups remain manageable in size, for the sake of safety and for the enjoyment of our guests.
A minimum of four guests is required for a bike tour to run.
In the case of private bike tours, we recommend that groups do not exceed fifteen guests at a time. Larger groups will be divided up, with more guides allocated to the tour.
