Need a sign

Elizabeth_S, Sep 2025
Should have sign with that color pink sign. They were very helpful and patent with questions. Happy.

Excellent tour

Irene_O, Sep 2025
Great driver. Excellent tour. Would recommend this experience to anyone interested. About two/and-one-half hours.

Good but overpriced and slow

KirstyCarmichael, Aug 2024
Good and covered all the main attractions but the bus only runs one way roundabout the city and is slow

Recommend for first timers

aimee_r, Jun 2023
Recommend doing this on one of your first days so you can get the lay of the land, see what you'd like to revisit. The info on the tour was very interesting. Would recommend doing earlier in the day to avoid commuter traffic. We got caught up in a massive thunderstorm and a bit of flooding so the roof of the bus had to be shut in the downpour. Still pretty awesome and got to see most things.

Disappointed

Cody_K, Feb 2022
Booked tickets for Sunday but no buses went on this sunday! Email with customer service they said they would refund me but instead they still sent out my ticket . I was very confused and asked Saturday one of the busdriver he said „ no buses on sundays“ I am mad how could I book ticket for a day buses are not scheduled for ?

Response from Host, Feb 2022

Hello, we are sorry for your experience but we already explained that due to the current situation the tours only take place on saturdays and the tour should not be available on Viator. We also explained to you by mail the situation and offered you to change your ticket to saturday or alternatively to refund the ticket. We apologize again but we have tried to correct the booking error and offered you the tour on Saturday.

Day out in Berlin

Vacation250293, Dec 2019
Lovely day going around all the historical sites especially check point Charlie well worth the money

Horrible

Dirk_N, Sep 2019
My clients could not make use of the hop on hop off because of the demonstrations! My clients want their money back.

Not bad

Irene_Z, Sep 2019
The tour was acceptable, but the commentary was not much detailed, and I think it could be better than what we had.

Dreadful

Charlie_A, May 2019
I have already castigated this trip in a previous review and you are very brave in requesting another one, which only goes to shoe how inept Viator is.

Not worth it

susan_h, Jan 2019
We found it not very interesting. They waited so long at each stop. It cost approximately £95 for 4 people a 2 day pass. Wouldn’t recommend it

My Hop On Hop Off Bus Tour Experience

DENISE_D, Dec 2018
The only negative for this particular activity was the timely arrival of the bus. It does not arrive every ten minutes more like every twenty minutes. The bus was clean and the driver was courteous. Very good value for the money spent.

Very GOOD Experience

HarryE_S, Aug 2018
Our HOP- On Hop -Off was very good. We especially appreciated the frequency of the bus arrivals, and the explanations of the sites were very clear and informative.

Very convenient, access to most major attractions

Lea_D, Jul 2018
Very convenient, access to most major attractions, very friendly to tourists! Will use them again when I come back!

Jennifer O, Jan 2018
As described, but the bus was 20 minutes late at the beginning of the day, but were quick to get us out right at 17:00, when they stopped for the night.

As always best sites and locations...

Eduardo R, Jan 2018
As always best sites and locations for on/off. City Circle passes less than the Red Bus but other than that is the same.

The route and narrative were fine...

Carol_B, Oct 2017
The route and narrative were fine but the sound system needs some maintenance. If the one at your seat is too garbled, I recommend moving to another seat as its' plug in may be better. Also, be prepared to only have one earbud in the earbud set working. I asked for a second set but it only had one earbud working too.

This tour is a great way to get...

Nick B, Oct 2017
This tour is a great way to get around and get the lay of the land in Berlin. The 2 day pass is a great bargain as it's only a small increase over the one day. There are audio guides on the bus as well.

Rocio_A, Sep 2017
Nice City but the buses don't come as often as they tell you and they are confused about the different loops.

99345, Aug 2017
Very good. We took it the first time and sat through the whole route to learned and hear the tape tour given in all languages. And then we went to the places we wanted to know more. Great value I took a walking tour through Viator too named Behind the Wall. It was a private tour and got a wonderful tour guide name Rick from USA living in Berlin. Awesome guide. What an experience highly recommend it. Bravo Rick

Overall a good tour, if you like hop on hop off busses. A little more information could be provided as you travel around the city.

Eve R, Mar 2017
A good way to see the city. During wintertime, must be aware that the tour buses stop at 17:00 regardless of which point the bus has arrived.

ENI_W, Dec 2016
It was rain when i went for this tour... there are some points where we hop on the ticket checker did not allow us to get in to the bus but waiting iutside the bus. Service can be improve!

Second time using Viatar. Overall...

James V, Nov 2016
Second time using Viatar. Overall good value and servioce. For Berlin they need to have the stops physically marked the yellow dots on the map are not sufficient.

Once again we found that our tickets...

Lynne F, Oct 2016
Once again we found that our tickets only covered one of the routes on offer which was disappointing. This is the second time in two separate destinations that this has happened, so we think it would be better in future to book our tour when we get to our destination. The actual journeys made on main route of the the hop on hop were fine it allowed you to get a feel for the city which was positive.

We used the 2-day ticket, and...

jennifer_s, Oct 2016
We used the 2-day ticket, and thoroughly enjoyed the trip both days. It is very convenient to hop off the bus, see what you want, then hop on the next bus that comes by. We highly recommend this for anyone visiting the city.

Gary W, Oct 2016
Good tour to get a great overview of the city and to scout out things you wish to visit.

Karen H, Oct 2016
This Tour was great! It went everywhere that we wanted to go in Berlin and you could get on and off the bus at your leisure. We would definitely recommend it to get a great overview of Berlin.

Jeffrey F, Oct 2016
I thought this was a very efficient and informative tour, available in about 18 languages via a clever headphones system. I booked the 1day tour. The only thing that is out of control is the scumbags hanging around the stop at Checkpoint Charlie trying to get you to sign some sort of 'I'm deaf, honest' form when they're clearly not deaf.
