    The tour gives a broad, good overview of different sides of Berlin, from the historic center to the harbor and industrial areas. All of it was worth seeing. The commentary on the GDR and reunification period reflected a rather one-sided view.
  • Start your experience from the Friedrichstrasse and sail along the Spree to just before Mühlendammschleuse. Along the way, see the Museum Island, the Berlin Cathedral, the historic Nikolaiviertel, and the new city palace. Chart your course to the modern main station through the government district. Meander through the Berlin-Spandau shipping canal, through the Humboldthafen, and past the historic buildings of the Charité campus to reach Westhafen.

    Set your course to the Charlottenburg Castle Park via the Westhafen Canal and back onto the Spree. Enjoy a short stopover in Charlottenburg at the Moabit Gotzkowsky Bridge. The last leg of the tour will take you back towards Friedrichstrasse through the meandering course of the Spree. On the way, you will be able to see many more significant city landmarks, including the Bellevue Palace, the Tiergarten, the House of World Cultures, the Chancellery and the government district with the Reichstag, the "civil service line", the Paul-Löbe-Haus, and the ARD capital city studio.
