I found it very nice that there was no tape but a nice young man told us a lot of things, it was much more personal.

It was a very relaxed tour on the Spree with great impressions of Berlin. The live moderation was interesting, lively and entertaining. We'd love to do it again!

My city tour was okay because the explanations of the sights were so quiet over the loudspeakers that I didn't hear anything interesting because of the engine volume. (I have good hearing). I couldn't get an answer to specific questions about one sight (name or use of the building near the Reichstag building). I would have hoped for more information about the sights to be seen. The boat and the service were otherwise good.
