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 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 :)

    I recently had the pleasure of enjoying the Combo: Berlin TV Tower Skip-the-Line Tickets + Guided City Cruise, and it was nothing short of spectacular. The visit to the Berlin TV Tower began with a seamless entry—no waiting in line, which was a huge plus. Once at the top, the views were absolutely breathtaking. Despite a light fog in the distance, the burning lights of the city created a magical atmosphere that truly highlighted Berlin’s unique character. The panorama offered a stunning 360° perspective, from the historic heart of the city to its modern skyline. A major highlight was the elegant revolving restaurant located 207 meters above ground. The ambiance, the food, and the slowly changing view as the restaurant turned—everything about it was exceptional. Dining there was an experience in itself, combining fine cuisine with one of the best views Berlin has to offer. The guided city cruise was equally impressive. Floating along the Spree River, we were treated to a fascinating journey through time. The bilingual guide (English and German) was both informative and entertaining, sharing interesting facts and humorous anecdotes that brought Berlin’s history and architecture to life. Passing by both grand historic landmarks and striking modern buildings, the cruise offered a unique perspective on the city. Seeing Berlin from the water allowed us to truly feel the contrast and harmony between the old and the new—a perfect reflection of the city’s rich and complex identity. This combo experience offers the best of Berlin from above and along the river. Highly recommended for anyone wanting a deeper, more memorable view of the German capital!

    I liked the sights, but it was very hot, you could have provided umbrellas or something else like other ships did. I liked the guide, there were a lot of interesting things in English and German
