The day started out very rainy and cold. Our rickshaw guides were very sensitive to our comfort and pushed back our tour time until the rain let up. We were picked up at our hotel and were off! My 4 yr old grandson pretended he was on a pirate ship sailing through Berlin while my 6 yr old granddaughter pretended to be a princess. They had a blast. Our tour guides were very knowledgeable and tailored our tour- we rolled by the Berlin zoo, their wall was beautiful. We explored along the waterway and saw some great architecture (the kids loved the ducks and puddles). Our guides explained the history of many of the museums and made recommendations for follow up visits. We loved touring around the Brandenburg gate area. We rolled along the brick outline of the wall, got up close to the old wall remnants and new art. The kids especially loved check point Charley-(there’s a McDonald’s and they got a snack). Afterwards we asked to be dropped off at a large playground so they could unwind.
This tailored tour was wonderful. We got to see historic sites up close with excellent tour guides. The guides were very patient and understanding accommodating our children as well as the adults. I highly recommend this tour, especially if you want to see a lot in a short amount of time.
