My wife and I took the tour of West Berlin. It was during a quite frigid cold snap that descended upon most of Europe in November. The warm reception of the Headout employees was a balm against the bitter cold - as was the bus ride. I particularly liked the witty 'conversation' that played out in the headphones; it was a creative way to point out all of the fascinating sites of this profoundly interesting city. I was impressed by the fact that Berlín's dark mid-twentieth century past was not glossed over, but rather, acknowledged in a way that seemed healthy - even therapeutic. One can easily feel like a stranger in a big foreign city but the tour, through its sights and stories, shared with fellow visitors, helped me connect with Berlin's soul and beating heart. Thanks for that!

The boat tour with the shipping company was really great! Especially the narrator on board was awesome - totally informative, but really funny at the same time. You learned a lot about Berlin without it feeling like a dry city tour. The atmosphere was relaxed, the explanations exciting and in between you just had to laugh. This makes a tour of the Spree really fun! Definitely recommended!

Our family have taken several boat cruises in many European cities, but this one was the best ever. Our guide mentioned not only historic facts, but also many interesting fun facts that are hard to find anywhere, he spoke clearly both in German and in English explaining reasons and consequences. Thank you for a great experience👍

    The whisper-quiet electric boat glided gently across the calm Spree while our humorous guide told stories with charm and wit. We waved to the people on the riverbank - and they waved back cheerfully.

    Personal guide who explained all the sights and could tell a story or two much better than tape announcements.
