How it works
It leaves from the Kulturbrauerei, in Prenzlauer Berg, by the entrance at Knaackstraße 97, three minutes from Eberswalder Straße station (U2). The bike is included. It costs from €27. Group departures are in English or German; if you want the tour in Spanish, ask for it privately. If you are short of time, the essential tour lasts two hours, from €24.
