Great tour guide, explanations were in German and English, linguistically top, very informative and entertaining, even for me as a Berliner there was something new to learn. Electric boat, quiet, no smell and very comfortable seats. Perfect and absolutely recommendable

Was very nice, but it was hard to find the location, because we hardly know which ship we were supposed to board. We also noticed that the prices differ online and on-site. Other than that, the atmosphere, sights and people were very accommodating and nice.

It was really handy having our tickets on our mobiles. This ment we could go straight in when we arrived, no need to queue. The museum was amazing , very informative with real life exhibits and easy to follow. We spent almost 3 hours in the museum and really enjoyed the life size apartment and trabant car.

The tour itself was fine. It's a route shrouded in history. We booked for an 11:00 tour (which was also advertised on the dock) so were surprised when the boat didn't depart until 11:30, presumably as not enough people were on board for the 11:00 tour. The audio guides were good when they worked. We had to switch devices twice as they appeared not to have been properly/fully recharged. Overall a 5-6 out of 10.

Met our expectations exactly. We wanted to see some of the highlights of Berlin from the river on a tour that lasted 90 minutes or less. The boat was clean, the tour was interesting, and amenities were available. Ticketing was intuitive, easy and fast.
