The tour gives a broad, good overview of different sides of Berlin, from the historic center to the harbor and industrial areas. All of it was worth seeing. The commentary on the GDR and reunification period reflected a rather one-sided view.

We were very pleased with the organization before and during the trip. Drinks were chilled, the accompanying information was easy to understand and sufficient. Gladly again

The information about Berlin was very interesting, perhaps a little too quiet, as you don't understand everything well when the conversation is loud

The tour was interesting, the texts were good. There was no room for us up on deck. We had to sit downstairs inside. Most of the speakers there didn't work. When we ordered, the food had already run out, i.e. we didn't get any more to eat.
