About this experience

We're going on a city tour! That means we cruise through downtown Berlin in my rickshaw taxi for 90 minutes. I explain what I know and shoot you very good souvenir photos. We can customize the tour a bit based on what you have seen and want to see. In a rickshaw taxi you are private, but you get a bit of wind and, of course, Berlin's fresh cycle path air.

Detailed itinerary

Stop 1 Pass by

We'll get over there.

Stop 2

If you want to take a quick look, I'll give you time, I'll show you the outside of the castle and explain how it came about. If you want to visit the exhibitions or one of the restaurants, you should plan time for this outside of the tour.

Stop 3

I'll show you the Berlin Cathedral and the Museum Island, these sights are in the Lustgarten, we're happy to take a few photos here, and I'll explain how they came about and what else is important here. If you want to visit the cathedral or an exhibition, you should plan some time apart from the tour.

Stop 4 Pass by

Did you know that this street was once called "First Street"? And are you fans of Irene Fischer? We discuss whether it's permissible to say magnificent boulevard here and take a rickshaw straight up to the Brandenburg Gate.

Stop 5

whether 10, 20 or 50 cents. All these German cent coins are stamped with it by default. We look at it up close, take photos and look at the most beautiful of the four horses.

Stop 6

Many a bust from the Berlin sculptor and stonemason workshops is hidden here. We check out some of them and enjoy the fresh lust of the tamed forest in the city center. We can also spot the Reichstag from here. If we have time, we'll take some more photos.

Stop 7

Here you can finally find "Everything New", made in Berlin. Anyone who finds the only completely preserved and restored house from the old, 1930s Potsdamer Platz and shouts out loud "I like to wear a hat" will get an ice cream from me. There are explanations and again time for the best photos.

Stop 8

We drive between the old Gropius Kunsthalle and the former Prussian state parliament, past the remains of the Berlin Wall to Checkpoint Charlie. It is a highlight on the Berlin Wall Trail, but is totally overrun. I'll explain to you why that is. Where we can and want to, we take the last souvenir photos before we take a short ride to the final stop via Friedrichstrasse, one of the most important north-south streets in Berlin.

Stop 9

Final stop: This is one of Berlin's most beautiful squares, a forum for culture and a cruel dimension of historicy. I will show you where you can find the best ice cream & coffee - or do you prefer lunch in one of the classy restaurants around the nobel Friedrich's city.
