Expand/Collapse Do we need to bring cash on this shore excursion?

We’ve included everything you need for the tour so you don’t need to worry about bringing cash if you don’t want to. However, you may wish to pick up a small souvenir along the way so cash may be handy as some places don’t accept credit cards. Also, gratuities are not included in the price of the tour and while we do not require you tip your guide, many may wish to.
Expand/Collapse Is the bike ride difficult?

Not at all. Berlin is nearly completely flat and is totally bike friendly. Our tour is also designed to flow at an easy pace with plenty of stops to talk about the sites and take pictures.
Expand/Collapse What about Berlin souvenirs?

There are lots of good options: pieces of the Berlin Wall, anything “Ampelmann,” toy Trabi’s to name a few. All are available in or near our shop where your shore excursion concludes before going back to your ship.
Expand/Collapse How should I dress for biking?

Comfort is the name of the game, and layers! Berlin’s summer weather is usually great but can change quite a bit over the course of a few hours. Bring layers that you can swap should you find it to be warm or chilly. The bikes have a luggage rack on them, so it’s easy to strap extra layers there so you are comfortable while you bike.
Expand/Collapse What about families with kids?

Everyone is welcome! We have bikes of all sizes, including tag-a-long bikes for kids a bit too young to ride on their own. When you make your booking please let us know in the “comments box” if you have kids in your booking and we will take care of the rest!
Expand/Collapse Will we be with other travellers on this shore excursion?

You will share transport on the bus between the ship to Berlin. Once in Berlin, you will enjoy the tour with a few others but we limit the group to a maximum of ten. Everyone in your small group will also be coming on the bus back to the ship together.
