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 combination package is ideal for a beautiful and varied day in Berlin. You can experience much more. Depending on how long your stay is. By booking online, many questions can be answered and waiting times can be reduced. The tower and the boat trip are highly recommended. The staff were all very nice. I can only recommend :)

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.

Since there was no audio-guide for French I'm going to leave a message on the net to advise against your sightseeing cruise, of course.
