The food and drinks were good; we liked the tour through the government district and the Bode Museum best. The tour lasted exactly 3 hours (not 3 hours and 15 minutes).

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.

While the horse was talking to the microphone into the loudspeaker people with audio guides could not hear their guides. I think all people on this board should use only audio guides.
