The commentary was fantastic. I also loved that, unlike other boat tour companies, there was live commentary and that it addressed the queer memorial on Magnus-Hirschfeld-Ufer as well as Berlin's queer history!!!

My sister and her husband are currently visiting Berlin, and we really enjoyed the 1-hour tour. The service was good, and the guide gave us great information in 3 languages in a very pleasant & friendly way.

We arrived early at the departure point and were able to rebook on the spot to an earlier boat so we didn't have to wait so long. That was very nice. You could get something to eat and drink on the boat. A young man guided us through the tour in German and English, providing great information. When it started to rain a bit, a roof was slid over the guests. You could still see everything well. I can recommend the "carola" and "Franziska" for a tour. The crew was very nice.

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!
