Berlin Sidecar Tours

Through Berlin in a Sidecar

Berlin Sidecar Tours has been operating since mid-2026, introducing a type of vehicle to Berlin sightseeing that was not previously available here: the motorcycle sidecar. A maximum of two guests participate per tour, one in the open sidecar and one on the pillion seat; all rides are accordingly private tours. The helmet is included in the price and equipped with a Bluetooth intercom system, so explanations can be heard despite the wind. The tours are driven and guided by Rainer Unruh, who has lived in Berlin since 1976, works as a certified city guide, and spent three decades as a police reporter before that – the stories told along the way reflect this. The meeting and ending point for all tours is the historic traffic light at Potsdamer Platz. Upon request, a 360-degree video of your ride is available afterwards. The sidecar is open, meaning there is no window between the guest and the city – therefore, weather-appropriate clothing is advisable in autumn and winter. Because only one vehicle is on the road at any given time, each tour is arranged individually; group bookings for multiple sidecars are not available.
