It was well organized, the tour guide was charming and knowledgeable. We enjoyed a glass of wine and a beer served by the cruise bar staff who were fantastic. The cruise is definitely worth experiencing as you get to see and learn about Berlin from a unique view. After the cruise, we were inspired to walk along the river and find some of the restaurants we saw while on board. It was a great experience, I would recommend it.

A cruise on the Spree in Berlin is a great way to see the city from a completely different perspective. Beautiful views, a peaceful atmosphere, and the opportunity to see Berlin's most important landmarks without rushing made it one of the most enjoyable parts of our stay. The cruise was very well-organized, and the staff was friendly and professional. I highly recommend it — both for a family outing and a romantic evening!

Great, simple, and hassle-free booking. We were walking along the Spree with some good friends from America, saw your boats, and booked a ticket in a snap. Thirty minutes later, we were sitting on one of your boats, enjoying the late summer. Huge kudos to the crew, too—VERY friendly and helpful. Everything was great: +1:👍👍👍

A pleasant, educational, and above all entertaining way to get an overview, with interesting facts and anecdotes. It was interesting and a lot of fun. It was truly engaging—even for my two teenagers, who didn’t understand everything linguistically. I highly recommend it.

The guide was very entertaining and funny. We had a wonderful time on the boat and received a lot of interesting information that gave us plenty to talk and think about later. We found it especially funny that every sentence started with "Ja", whether it was in English or German.

On the whole, everything was fine and the service on board was attentive. Unfortunately, the loudspeaker announcements were difficult to understand a few times, especially when passing under the bridges.

We have already done a Spree river cruise twice with other boats, but this time it was very entertaining and interesting. The "apprentice" captain did a very good job. Thank you 🙏.

The booking and check-in were straightforward and went smoothly. I was particularly pleased with the clear communication and information regarding the last-minute change to the itinerary, as the Water Police were on duty that day, resulting in a temporary suspension of boat traffic. The padded chairs were comfortable and arranged in rows. Thanks to the open seating and the small tables, the seating arrangement was pleasant. Drinks and snacks could be ordered during the trip. Andreas’s live commentary was a special highlight: humorous, informative, and varied. He shared interesting anecdotes, answered questions, and made sure that both the outbound and return trips were engaging and entertaining. All in all, a very successful cruise with good organization, friendly service, and a great guide. We had a wonderful time and would recommend the cruise anytime.
