Private bike tours with family and friends are for the young and less-young (they must take a few steps to enter the Rickshaw), and one Rickshaw is available for those who can't or don't want to bike.
It is informative, practical, and friendly, and it allows you to see, feel, touch, and taste Berlin close up. Stop anywhere you'd like to take memorable pictures.
We avoid traffic, cycle on beautiful paths in Tiergarten Park among river sprees and visit pompous historical squares.
In four hours, you will see the city centre's essential highlights, treasures between the highlights, and sites like Tiergarten Park, Victory Column, and the Chancellery.
The "Bikes & E-bike and Rickshaw" allows your grandparents or your minor to sit back and relax in the Rickshaw. The youngsters ride along with their bikes. We are looking forward to Guiding your Family in Berlin. Meetings Point Tor Strasse is also ideal for eating and drinking with East Flair, just one stop with Underground.

Key Features:
Height: The TV Tower is around 368 meters (1,207 feet), making it one of the tallest structures in Europe and a prominent landmark in Berlin.
Design: Its distinctive spherical top gives the tower a unique and futuristic appearance. The design was a collaborative effort by architects Hermann Henselmann, Jörg Streitparth, and Fritz Dieter.

Stadtschloss Berlin
Stadtschloss Berlin, also known as the Berlin City Palace, holds a rich and complex history deeply intertwined with the city's past. Constructed in the 15th century as a royal residence, it saw the rise and fall of the Hohenzollern dynasty, shaping Berlin and Prussia. Destroyed during WWII, it became a symbol of resilience. After the Berlin Wall fell, a debate arose over its reconstruction. Ultimately, the Humboldt Forum project restored the palace, blending its Baroque façade with modern interiors for cultural purposes. Today, it is a testament to Berlin's resilience and commitment to its heritage, offering a bridge between history and the future.

Bebelplatz
Bebelplatz in Berlin, historically known as Opernplatz, carries a haunting legacy tied to book burning during the Nazi regime. In May 1933, thousands gathered here to incinerate books deemed "un-German." This tragic event symbolized intellectual suppression. Today, a memorial designed by Micha Ullman stands in the square—a glass plate on the ground revealing empty bookshelves below, a sad reminder of preserving knowledge and safeguarding intellectual freedom. Bebelplatz is a powerful testament to the enduring significance of literature and the consequences of censorship.

Gendarmenmarkt also witnessed critical events like the 1848 Revolution and the fall of the Berlin Wall. Today, it's a vibrant place for concerts, markets, and cultural events, drawing locals and tourists.

Checkpoint Charlie
Checkpoint Charlie, situated in the heart of Berlin, is an iconic historical landmark symbolizing the division and reunification of the city during the Cold War. Named after the third letter in the NATO phonetic alphabet, it was one of the most famous border crossing points between East and West Berlin.
During the Cold War, Checkpoint Charlie was a potent symbol of the Iron Curtain, separating the American and Soviet sectors. It was the site of numerous tense standoffs and encounters between American and Soviet military personnel.
Today, a replica of the original guardhouse stands at the site, manned by actors dressed as U.S. military police, offering tourists a glimpse into this pivotal historical period. The museum is now known as the Mauermuseum.

Fuhrerbunker
The "Führerbunker" was the underground bunker complex in Berlin where Adolf Hitler, the leader of Nazi Germany, spent much of the final months of World War II. Here is some information about the Führerbunker:
Location: The Führerbunker was located in Berlin, near the Reich Chancellery, which was the official residence of Adolf Hitler during his time as Chancellor and later as Führer (Leader) of Nazi Germany. The bunker complex was constructed beneath the garden of the Reich Chancellery.
The site of the Führerbunker is located beneath a parking lot in modern Berlin, near the intersection of In den Ministergärten and Gertrud-Kolmar-Straße. There is no visible trace of the bunker today, as it was primarily removed after the war to prevent it from becoming a pilgrimage site for neo-Nazis.

The Holocaust Memorial - Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe
The Holocaust Memorial in Berlin, officially known as the "Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe" or "Holocaust-Mahnmal," is a sad and evocative tribute to the six million Jewish victims of the Holocaust. Designed by architect Peter Eisenman, this memorial was inaugurated in 2005.
The memorial consists of 2,711 concrete slabs of varying heights arranged on a sloping field, creating a sense of disorientation and unease as visitors navigate through the maze-like structure. The grey, uniform slabs symbolize the vastness and anonymity of the Holocaust's victims, emphasizing the dehumanization and mass scale of the atrocities.
As you move deeper into the memorial, the ground beneath your feet descends, isolating you further from the bustling city outside. It's a profound and unsettling experience that encourages reflection on the enormity of the tragedy.
Duration: 10 minutes

Brandenburg Gate
Berlin's most iconic landmarks symbolise the city's turbulent history, resilience, and reunification.
This neoclassical triumphal arch, designed by Carl Gotthard Langhans, was completed in 1791 and has since witnessed more than two centuries of profound historical events. It was commissioned by King Frederick William II of Prussia as a symbol of peace and marked the beginning of the grand boulevard Unter den Linden.
