Everything went smoothly. The boat trip + "Skip the Line" at the TV tower went smoothly and on time. Thank you very much!

Overall, it was a great experience. Unfortunately, there is no indication, e.g. on the boat or in the menu, that it is self-service.Birgit

The guide was super(I think his name was Andreas?) We loved the point that there was no audio guide and we had a real person talk about the city and tell jokes. Definately will recommend to friends!

Seeing a part of Berlin from the water gives you a totally different perspective than if you see it walking the streets. In addition, Andreas, the guide, explained the whole tour perfectly and in a very pleasant way. I recommend this boat tour without hesitation.

Lovely river boat tour. Boat was clean and well maintained. The tour was informative. We were only on a day trip to the city, and it was a great way to see some of the sights along the Spree in the time frame we had.

Berlin City Cruise
After your visit to the DDR Museum, board a 1-hour cruise on the River Spree to witness the city's best sights from a different perspective. Cruise past some of the city's major attractions, including the Reichstag, the Government District, the House of World Cultures, Bellevue Palace, and the Victory Column. With an audio guide available in various languages, learn about historical and cultural attractions like the Berlin Cathedral, Museum Island, and more.
