Top Berlin Cruises & Sailing - page 2

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!

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.

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.
