These little cars go hard and aren’t governed. Race and skid around Berlin like you are on a race track. Pretty bug deposit and do t forget your licence. The guides are excellent and no nonsense.

Amazing! So much fun!! Orlando was a great guide. I felt very safe and we got to see all of the sites. The cars are tiny and have no shocks, so you feel every bump. Who cares! Totally worth it. I’d go again in a heartbeat. Don’t forget your license, and be prepared to make a refundable deposit (either 500 or 1500) to take the cars out.

I was very excited about the experience but they requested a guarantee deposit of 2000 euros per unit, in the description it says that it is 500 but being there they change it so you accept or lose everything. I decided not to accept because it is not correct that they lie, I barely read the reviews and another user already warned in May 2025... now I had to involve my bank to get the refund and I still await response. The time I wasted in Berlin can't be paid back. It is frustrating and in bad taste that they do not respect what the reservation includes.

It was amazing the experience of the city tour in a Hotrod, you are able to see the main attractions in the meantime you have fun driving a mini Hotrod.

Fun way to go through the city. The tour takes you past most of the hot spots. I would recommend knowing a little about the city before going on the tour so you know what you are driving past.
