Fascinating historical overview of Berlin post-WW II with enchanting bicycle touring. Our guide, Simon, was terrific: erudite and witty. We learned a lot!

Fantastic tour with our guide Ronan who was really super good. He has a good sense of humour, was helpful and extremely knowledgeable, making the history accessible for us and also our teenage girls. We cycled the route of the wall stopping at key points for a history input and photo opportunities. I really felt as thought we saw a lot and I learnt a lot, and would love to do another tour with the company if/when we return to Berlin. The cycling itself was straight forward and largely on the flat and the bikes comfy. Tick!!
