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👍

Very interesting museum: a plunge into the East German past and daily life in the GDR. The set-up with reconstructions of apartment types, a kindergarten and the presence of various simulators makes for an engaging and exciting visit. Having purchased the ticket earlier, I did not queue at the entrance.

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.

    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.

    It was very crowded and you had to queue for a long time to drive the Trabi. My son panicked a bit when the elevator doors closed in the exhibition, but otherwise it was a great all-round experience....
