Excellent way to see the city while cruising on a boat. There is commentary in German as well but you can book audio guides in your language of choice.

The boat was lovely and warm. the service for drinks was prompt. The trip itself was interesting and enjoyable i would recommend to friends. My only grievance was that we were not handed the earphones to listen to the information about the points of interest. As we are Irish and english speaking. The earphones were lying in a basket by the entrance and a bit obscure. Otherwise all was good.

Very good value for money! We were 1 hour early and were able to take the earlier boat trip with no problems! Really nice! The tour was great, you get a small overview from the water!

An interesting and relaxing way of seeing some of the city's sights. Although the route - of necessity - limits what you see, it is a good way of getting an alternative and relatively "tourist free" view of such sights as the Reichstag and Museum Island. It also takes in parts of the Government areas of the city that one might not include on a walking tour with only limited time available. The online booking process was straightforward but do remember to pick up an audio guide as the commentary is in German. I forgot to do so but, to be honest, it didn't really affect our enjoyment of the cruise as even my very limited knowledge of the language was enough to allow me to follow the main points.

This boat tour was quite nice, however I thought I had booked a tour in English. This tour was entirely in German so I understood very little of the audio - I only saw on my way out of the boat a sign that said audio guides in other languages were available for 2 euro, which I gladly would have paid. No one seemed to have one, though. The views and time on the river were still quite nice, but if you want a specific language make sure you book one in that language or ask about the audio guide! I still enjoyed it.
