Fun way to see the city. The live guide (in English and German) was great. Knowledgeable and funny. Perfect amount of time. Highly recommend this company (as opposed to the other boats that have taped explanations or no audio guides at all!)

The trip was relaxing and educational. The guide/speaker was knowledgeable and sometimes humorous. The dueling banjos of speaking in German/American, made it a bit confusing at times, but I applaud his efforts. The staff was attentive to your needs and everything including bathroom was spotless. Suggest you sit under the dome if it is a bright sunny and warm day to avoid being cooked.

A wonderful bi lingual live commentary delivered by an informed guide who interacted with the passengers. Nothing A1/ pre recorded.
There are many sights along the river both historical and current day.

The boat trip was nice and the boarding staff were helpful. Nice to see the sites from a different angle. We sat in front with our young son and the tour guide was great. He gave a lot of good information and slipped some comedy here and there, too.

From buying tickets to boarding on time and a brilliant informative guide the whole experience was absolutely amazing. Definitely recommend this tour
Tassey_M, Apr 2026
We took this boat ride our first day in Berlin. It was a nice introduction to a swath of the city, including identification of buildings (a visitor wouldn't normally see) and some history. It was raining but the boat had a cover and the rain didn't matter for the ride.
Adam_G, Apr 2026
The tour was informative and suitable for people with young children. We found it informative and relaxing with an added bonus of drinks and ice cream available.
