Seeing Berlin from the water was interesting. Unfortunately, no explanation, no guide, just a boat trip.

It was fun because it was very relaxed and you weren't as crowded as on other excursion steamers.

Super great staff and a nice atmosphere! :) It was just a pity that we didn't have backrests and sitting was a bit uncomfortable :(

Very nice, relaxed trip, courteous staff and you discovered parts of Berlin that you wouldn't have seen otherwise. Not the typical tourist tour. The great service is worth mentioning, the cheese platter and the wine were excellent. I highly recommend this boat trip.

The trip itself was very nice, but it would have been nice to have received some information about the route, Berlin, etc. during the trip. We had booked a cheese platter in advance for the trip, which was incredibly delicious and is highly recommended.

It was as expected. It was amazing to see Berlin from the outside in. There was cakes/biscuits, beverages and soups served too. The overall journey itself was pleasant. We didn't go the normal route as it was blocked off due to high tide. This trip was the last for the season, so I was so lucky to have been able to book it. The staff were lovely and attentive too.

Great sightseeing river trip on the Spree, really highly recommended! It is more comfortable because there are fewer people than on the larger ships, the ship is very clean and well-kept, the staff is very friendly and you can see corners of Berlin where other providers do not go! Any time !! Oh and the VIP package is also worth it, there is 1 glass of wine per person for free and a very tasty, large cheese plate!
