Berlin: 1 h Boat Tour with Bilingual Live Guide (DE/EN)

(815)

34 years after the fall of the Berlin Wall, the BWSG is offering a boat tour that traces part of the border in what is now East Berlin. In addition to the many changes that can be discovered from the water in the old and new center of the city, the EAST-SIDE-TOUR shows above all the latest developments in the shadow of the "East-Side-Gallery" - this 1.3 km long concrete remnant of the Berlin Wall, whose post-reunification pictures are currently being lovingly restored and whose name was the inspiration for this tour. With the Oberbaumbrücke, the redesigned Osthafen, the Molecule Men and the passage through the MÜhlendammschleuse, Berlin's cradle of urban development, this tour offers very special highlights. This city tour on the Spree is rounded off with a trip through the parliament and government district, with the Reichstag building and the Federal Chancellery.

What are people saying about Berlin

Steven_R, Dec 2025

Berlin Christmas boat tour - wonderful.

What a hidden gem of a tour this is. From boarding the vessel to traversing the Spree onboard, this was a truly wondrous experience. Bar onboard, table service for drinks, toilets up the back if you need them, lovely and warm - it’s got the lot. Michael our tour guide was exceptional, genial, friendly, humorous, what a guide - 10/10 Michael. Knowledge of the Spree, the area, the history, could not fault it, what a friendly crew. Doing this at sunset made it all the better too. We will be back to do this again in Summer, thanks to Michael and all the vessels staff for a cracking voyage.

Worth the time!

We were so glad we selected this cruise over others. The Hemingway was so charming with its history really shining. The staff were incredibly thoughtful and kind and happy to answer any questions. After walking around Berlin for days, this was a great way to get a different view of the buildings and town. We learned a lot from the recorded explanations of the sights!

Perfect jaunt through Berlin!

This was exactly what we needed. My wife and I had an opportunity to take this one hour excursion through the city via the river and it offered us a perspective we otherwise would not have had. Everyone was super friendly from the person that we checked in with, to the boat captain. Drinks are not included, but we had plenty to choose from on the menu ans they were auper reasonably priced. I would recommend this very highly.

Wonderful day, bus ride...

Wonderful day, bus ride was long however the guide was outstanding. Our driver got us everywhere we needed to go in the busy traffic. Guide knew his stuff and was able to give us back ground info that we didn’t know and get. Us into out of the way bathroom stops without line that didn’t charge you to use them.

Warnemuende Shore Excursion: Private Berlin Tour

Cruising Friends

Our guide, James in Berlin was quite knowledgeable and accommodating to our needs. Our only complaint was the transport vehicle was not what we expected. We were picked up in Warnemunde by taxi. The driver while very nice did not speak English. Through Google translate we established that he was driving us to meet our guide in Berlin. The taxi was not comfortable and the windows had advertising stickers on them- blocking views as we traveled. By the end of the day getting into and out of the taxi became a bit challenging for the older travelers in our group we were a party of 6 between 60-80 yrs old. I would recommend this tour for anyone wanting to see the sights in Berlin. James did a was wonderful in providing insights and painting a picture of WW2 Germany. An English speaking driver and being made aware that we would be meeting our guide in Berlin would probably have made the initial pick up a little easier and seamless. We still give this tour high marks for being comprehensive, offering good communication during the booking process and affordability. My only suggestion is letting clients know about the taxi transportation and potentially an only German speaking driver.

Outstanding tour

Absolutely outstanding experience. Our private tour of Sachsenhausen Concentration Camp and Berlin was incredibly well-organized and deeply impactful. Our guide, Natalie, was exceptionally knowledgeable—she brought Germany’s complex history to life with empathy, clarity, and depth. Her storytelling and insight made this tour both educational and emotionally moving. Highly recommend to anyone wanting a meaningful and informative experience.
