Of course, we had perfect weather yesterday as well. The boat was absolutely lovely. There was no smell of diesel during the trip. Even though the lock wasn’t working and we had to change our route, our guide Dirk pulled it all off. Hats off to this man, who knows so much and shared it with us in such a wonderful way. We were thrilled and would gladly recommend this experience to others. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. All in all, a perfect experience.

The food and drinks on offer were delicious and reasonably priced, and the service was attentive and very friendly. Throughout the entire tour, we were provided with informative and interesting insights that left nothing to be desired. We could have stayed much longer and will definitely book another tour the next time we’re in Berlin.

The service, guide, and cleanliness are excellent. Very interesting background information. A must for anyone visiting Berlin for the first time. From the water, you see things you wouldn’t find or notice amid the hustle and bustle of walking around. I give it five stars for the complete package and definitely recommend it.
