Spree Boat Tours & Rides in Berlin

It's always nice to take a trip on the water. Since Berlin is full of historical and cultural places, there is always something to discover. Although I was born and raised in Berlin, I still found the information from the speaker very interesting - if only for a refresher. Great!

Nice quick boat tour of Berlin from the Spree River. The tour is conducted in German so if you don’t speak German you will have to listen to an audio device instead. There are drinks on the boat which is nice if you want to have a beer while you enjoy the tour.

As described, a 1-hour cruise on the Spree with useful information about Berlin. You could order ice cream or a drink. Buying tickets online went smoothly and on site too. Proof of vaccination had to be shown or a negative test, but this was not noticeable on board when people were crawling so close. That was the only annoying thing. The staff was super nice and friendly.

Good English audio reviews, but again, a group with a lot of noise spoiled it. Too hot for the outside deck which would have made the sound better. One poor soul passed out from beer and too much sun. Do it, but try to pick a cooler day than we did. Beautiful boat.

It is a beautiful experience if the weather is good. The riverbank in Berlin is what it is. A part more beautiful and another less but beautiful. The audio guide in Spanish quite good. The tour is one real hour. I recommend it, but I think that one hour of tour is enough.

Had a super fun time! Staff was great and the food was much better than expected. Singer was very good and added a nice touch. Only comment … They were a bit disorganized welcoming people at the beginning. Better to not let people board and have them wait on shore until someone is available to greet them.

Lovely relaxing trip after the previous day walking the city. Audio was clear and easy to use. Shame some passengers keep standing to take photos blocking everyone behind them (not the boats fault). I’d recommend a sign to tell people to stay in their seats so everyone can see and enjoy the experience. Well worth the money.

Good overall way to see the highlights of Berlin. If you get the audio tour you need to collect a handheld audio device when you first get on the ship. Will probably have to ask someone for the audio tour device. Otherwise the speaker on the ship only announced the building and landmarks in German.
