Most beautiful tour in Berlin Mitte! The trip went past the Museum Island, through the government district under many bridges on a late Sunday afternoon in summer. Many dancers on the riverbank (swing, tango) and beach bars gave not only the informative content of the boat tour but also a nice Berlin feeling. Highly Recommended!

Our boat tour was cancelled and i received fantastic help in finding availability for the next tour or either taking a voucher for something else. However after choosing to stay on the boat tour it was a lovely experience with very helpful and friendly staff. The commentary was also very clear and informative.

Nice boat tour, comfortable and good view. Drinks are a bit on the pricey side. Worth the effort!

It was a nice river tour but I'll never take another uncovered boat ride in a city. We had things thrown on us twice from two bridges. One thing got a guy's coffee cup sending it everywhere and the next bridge I saw the guy under the bridge throw, what turned out to be a half eaten Carmel apple with the pointed stick pushed through the end of the apple. It landed right next to my husband. I hate to think of that had hit someone. the staff are at risk!

Comfortable boat. Nobody on board to serve the drinks charming and efficient despite the large number of orders. A good moment. Interesting formula. To do again!

I thought it was nice that we were able to learn something new historically. Furthermore, the service was very good.
