An Adventure in the Streets of Berlin! Marie_V
Sep 18, 2023, 12:08:47 PM We had a wonderful experience on a rickshaw ride in the streets of Berlin! I highly recommend - especially for a first day and to get your bearings of the city. This tour takes you through the park and such places where a car is not accessible. The guide is very knowledgeable of the city, friendly and funny! Sidenote: for those with mobility issues or traveling with someone with mobility issues - this is a great experience! Highly recommend.
Very informative and interestingDavid_C
Our guide, Levent, managed to cover large parts of the city in two hours in an entertaining and informative manner. The tuk tuk tour is very personal and allows for rapid arrival at the main sites. Levent was good fun, very helpful and spoke excellent English. I would especially recommend the tour for anyone with mobility difficulties.
The best thing about the rickshaw tour is that you get to see the east berlin and west berlin at full, from main attractions, iconic buildings to green parks. Without worrying about the rain and filter from windows, you can get the best shots with your camera. Levi is a great guy who is super flexible and considerate. It's a must try in berlin!

Highly recommend for when you are in BerlinSavanna_S
Highly recommend! Lovely way to see the city and learn more about the history of Berlin. A highlight of mine and my partners trip!
We had a 3 hour tour with Levent today and it was brilliant. He collected us at our hotel bang on time. He asked us what we were keen to see and what we had already experienced and then tailored his tour accordingly. He was so knowledgeable and interesting. He was also so thoughtful to our comfort and provided a blanket and refreshments. He could not have done more for us and the 3 hours whizzed by and we felt we had seen and learnt such a lot. Would highly recommend.
Wonderful guide and experience. Went through all major point with explanation and history. A must for all tourists to get a jumpstart.
Berlins best private tourI8283BQkarenb
We had a fabulous day learning about Berlin. We spent 4 hours on the rickshaw and saw so many amazing things. Our driver was incredibly knowledgeable. He spoke 5 languages! I would recommend this to anyone! Well worth the investment!
Rickshaw with Levent is the tour to takesydw378
We took this tour almost by accident as we were tired after a long day walking. Levent approached us in a friendly and lively way that is his custom. We wanted to see certain highlights and bike was the perfect way to get off our tired feet. Levent is knowledgeable regarding the history of Berlin and it’s buildings and historic sites. His rickshaw allows one to wind down narrow alleys and get close to all the attractions. It’s the perfect way to get around in the crowded district.
He is fun to be with, very witty and distinctly sensitive to the cultural issues in Germanys history. I wish we had time for a longer tour. We left a friends of our tour guide!
Highly recommend this unique and personal tour!

Perfekter VormittagSigrid_B
Ich habe am 15 August, mit meiner Enkelin 14 Jahre ein Tour "Berlin Mitte" gebucht.
Ein wunderschöner Vormittag.
Levi unser Tourguide hatte ein ausgezeichnetes Wissen. Aber noch wichtiger war seine Empathische Art. Selbst meine Enkelin war schwer beeindruckt. Man spürt bei Levi, jede Minute die Liebe zu seinem Beruf. Toll !!
Vielen, vielen Dank für die schönen Stunden.
Mit Lieben Grüssen Sigrid und Louisa
