“This was my first time in Berlin and have never driven on the right before. I have mobility problems so couldn't do walking tours and decided to try this instead. I'm so glad I did. It was nerve wrecking at times, hilarious and brilliant fun, I highly recommend it to everyone! The instructors were really helpful and spoke both in German and English. The Trabi's are great fun, it takes no time to get used to and come as automatic too. It was such a great way to see Berlin. Do this, you won't regret it!”

“We were late because we somehow missed the warning to arrive 15 minutes early. Not sure how this happened as we did read all the communications we received. So don't do what we did! However luckily the team rushed us into a car quickly and we were off. Driving around in this little piece of history, seeing the warmth and joy these little cars give everyone of all ages as well as some of the best sights in Berlin was such a treat. One minor thing, it was hard to hear the commentary sometimes above the tank-like Trabi engine. We also thought it would be amazing to convert these cars…”
