    Was genau kann ich sagen für:

    Wir machten eine Tour.


    We made a tour.

    We did a tour.

    We took a tour.


    --> Was ist absolut unmöglich/ Was darf man nicht sagen?



    Wie sieht es aus, wenn ich ich das Wort tour durch das Wort trip ersetze?

    We made a trip.

    We did a trip.

    We took a trip.


    Besten Dank.

    What's your context? What kind of "Tour"?

    eine Radtour, beispielsweise?

    We went on a bike ride.


    Das passt auch zu 'trip':

    We went on a trip.

    But, depending on context, you can also take/do a tour, or you can tour an area, for instance. Hence my question.

    Kann man auch sagen..

    We did a bike tour to the Golden Gate Bridge oder wäre das unmöglich?

    We did a bus tour (also durch die Stadt)


    --> Habe ich richtig verstanden, dass make hier gar nicht geht, da man ja make im Sinne von etwas mit den Händen machen verwendet oder?

    you can do (or go on) a sightseeing tour on a bus, for instance. "To make a tour" sounds very German. For the bike tour, I'd say "we went on a bike ride to the Golden Gate Bridge" instead. Of course you can also tour the city on a bike, e.g.

    Aprikose, dude is right: you can use do a tour, make a tour, or take a tour. It may depend on the situation and context.


    Here are some examples.


    Here I am on a late March day, ready to make a tour of inspection.

    To make a tour or circuitous journey in which many places are visited.

    We made the tour of the town and saw all the places of interest.


    We took a tour of Italy.

    Who could not take a tour of eight or ten hours in a wagonette?


    We did a tour of the California coast on our bicycles.


    But in most of these situations you could also use any of the three interchangeably.

    Bob, vielen Dank.

    Aber im Kontext mit bike tour

    We made a bike tour to the Golden Gate Bridge.....

    kann man das als falsch werten?

    Bist du Lehrer oder Schüler?


    Ich würde mich an "took a tour" und "went on a tour" halten, aber um deine Frage beantworten zu können, müsste man den Hintergrund kennen.

    Warum genau stellst du diese Frage?

    You can say "we made a bike tour," but that is not the most common or best way to say it. Better is "We took a bike tour to the GG Bridge."

    SuggestionWent on a trip to Germany; did a tour of Hamburg; took a boat tour as well; later went on a bike trip at the Alsterufer; forgot my cash so I had to make an unnecessary trip to the ATM

    A very clever and helpful clarification of the various uses.
