The bus tour could not have been done better. Our tour guide was called Andreas, who managed the whole thing with a lot of fun and funny music. We would drive with him again and again, it was a lot of fun to listen to him.

We bought the bus and water tour option. We did the bus on day 1 (audio option which was good) and the water tour on day 2. It worked very well having the two activities on 2 days. Day 2 had live guides for the bus and boat. Nice touch! Highly recommend this tour! Great value.

It was a really great experience and especially the live commentators (the last bus in Berlin with them) were great. The boat ride was fun too. I would do it again and again and continue to like it.

Unfortunately, the route was changed on one day, we were not informed of this, so we waited in vain at a stop that was not used that day. Otherwise were very satisfied. The boat ride was a highlight. The guide on the boat not only described well, but also really entertained. We recommend.

Was totally good! But would recommend starting the tour on Ku'damm; partly due to the large construction site, the other entry points are not so easy to find. We found the “live guide” great, although tastes differ when it comes to humour. If you really want to see everything on the route in peace (we had booked including the ship), you should start right away in the morning. Otherwise, if you have two days, we would recommend the two-day tour to slow down.

It was good to have live tour guide . He was using English and German languages , it was too much for the guide doing back and forth both languages. Next time I would prefer the audio.
