Welcome to Easy Cycling Tours

Easy Cycling Tours organises ½ day and full day guided cycling tours of Berlin and Potsdam and 4 day cycling adventures from Berlin to Dresden.  The tours operate in the northern summer months of May, June, July and August.

The operators are Peter Macky and Yuri Opeshko who own a home in Berlin and a folly in the Dahme-Spreewald which is a former train station built for the Hohenzollern family in 1865, which they are restoring to its former glory.

Peter and Yuri are passionate about Germany and about Berlin, Potsdam and Dresden in particular.  They enjoy taking their guests on cycling tours and sharing their enthusiasms with you.  They have prepared comprehensive guides which accompany their tours, and on the website you will see some of this information, and read testimonials from their guests.

Peter is a retired lawyer, who practiced law in New Zealand.  He trained in Auckland and New York. He has written about urban design and is the author of two highly regarded publications: Wartime Correspondence and Coolangatta – A Homage.  Yuri studied at a university in the Ukraine before a four year stint with the Soviet army and its merchant navy.  He became a New Zealand citizen in 1991. He has an interest in property sales and management and has been a realtor for many years.  Both Peter and Yuri have traveled widely through out Europe. They have also taken a number of cruises in the Baltic, the North Atlantic, around the Americas, or in the South Pacific.

Peter and Yuri are assisted by Barbara Knau, a resident of Berlin. She is also a passionate cyclist. She is a teacher and travels to work on her bicycle, even in snow and ice. She lives in Schöneberg with her husband and travels extensively around Germany, not always on her bicycle.

We currently offer four tours: a half day tour of Berlin, a full day tour from Berlin to Potsdam, a four day tour from Berlin to Dresden, and a seven day tour combining all three tours. Full details of these wonderful tours are available on this website and in the single page flyers which can be accessed and printed, in an A4 format

Easy Cycling Tours, Peter, Yuri and Barbara look forward to meeting you and sharing their passion for Berlin, Potsdam and Dresden with you.
