Customer reviews of tours in Germany

Very satisfied with everything....friendly people on the ships, everything was to our complete satisfaction...thank you.....

Great if you want to see important sights quickly. The information running through the speaker automatically is really informative.

Payment, reservation fast and easy! Simply print out the ticket and show it! Loved everything!

Super nice trip. I had booked the wrong date and they were so nice to help so we could leave the next day without extra payment. Really good treatment. THANKS

Great Experience! In 1 hour you are able to get a beautiful view of all the city's main sights!

Top !!! Content of the tour absolutely sufficient, the most important was there, well commented from very easy to understand loudspeakers.

Since we didn't have a lot of time and we wanted to see as much of Berlin as possible, we chose to take the ride. We really recommend it. I also enjoyed the evening ride. You get to see the sights in comfort while enjoying a glass of wine. Really recommend it!

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.

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.

Very nice to see Berlin from the other side, the water side. The comments and explanations were very good.

everything went well :) only nobody can do anything about the weather, but the boats have covered decks and you can also order warm tea :)

The tour was amazing already I'm 21 and it was perfect for me and my boyfriend. Not too much info, just the important things. Beautifully relaxing and really great SUPER SUPER SUPER

This cruise is also in English, which is great. Very pleasant. One of the areas on the Spree was closed when we took the tour, but nonetheless, it was a good experience.

The tour was very good. Good weather, friendly staff, drinks okay. Only our guide was very poorly understood, it's a pity.

Great value for money! The tour start point is easy to find, with clear instructions. The audio guide is on the boat and does not require ear/headphones. The tour was in both German and English, is entertaining and informative. The Spree tour gives you an excellent opportunity to see the sights of the city by boat and with a different perspective. The staff were friendly and helpful, and there was also an option to purchase refreshments, if desired. An excellent way to spend some time on your visit to Berlin.

The boat was comfortable with good service by the bartender, good choice and fair prices. Interesting info provided by the guide, both EN & DE. One hour is exactly right for this trip, we got quite a different perspective of some unknown spectacular Berlin sites.

Fun and calm easy way to view BLN from water! Also drinks and snacks onboard plus a very clean restroom!

There was a nice 1 hour trip, with available drinks in board (pay at the end), nice description of the landmarks, also with a local approach, jokes and popular names for such. I enjoyed the well prepared speech that matched the length of the trip, as it wasn't nor too quick, nor to slow. Very friendly staff, English soeakers. Available onboard are sun/rain umbrellas. I had a great time.

Lovely afternoon tour with my parents, great activity for a good weather. The tour guide and the boat crew was nice. I definitely recommend it.

It was very informative, with a good sense of humor and all the employees were very friendly.

Here you will be personally greeted by the captain. We found this little boat trip through Berlin very good. A charming and funny on-board attendant told something in German and English about bridges and buildings along the Spree. Cool drinks were served on request and the entire staff on board was very friendly from boarding to docking. For this price a clear recommendation when visiting Berlin.

Awesome and very informative. Nice crew and great guide. We recommend.

Beautiful boat tour on the Spree. Punctual departure, friendly staff and not too crowded. The guide provided informative commentary about the sights along the river. I can recommend the boat tour.

Enjoyed seeing many things in a comfortable setting on a sunny day. Enjoyed having bar service as well. Commentary was fine, shared a variety of information and history.

The boat was fine. It was disappointing that commentary in English often happened after we had passed the site, so we didn’t feel like we learned as much as we could have

Great, sound quality and service all perfectly done, they even let me get on an hour earlier because I arrived an hour earlier than my booked ride

The cruise itself was nice with a recorded guide that first spoke in German then in English. The narration wasn't the best and didn't always coincide with the points of interest. However, you could get a choice of drinks which was more important.

We had a great time on this tour! We found the one hour length to be perfect for us. Our boat was very nice and had a bar on board with delicious, well-prices drinks. The bathrooms were not operational on our trip, but we were warned of this in advance so this was not an issue. The server was very friendly, and the recorded English and German audio broadcast complemented the route well. This was a highlight of our time in Berlin.

Good. Easy meeting spot and lovely views. I just wish the volume was louder as the pre-recorded commentary couldn’t be heard very well and there wasn’t much background noise. So we missed all the information.

Great way of seeing Berlin. Informative tour. Would recommend this tour . Great day out. Relaxing . .

We booked this boat ride for the first day of our visit as an introduction to the city. There was audio information in German and English about points of interest along the route and it was clear to understand. The staff were very helpful and friendly. There was a selection of drinks onboard for purchase and we enjoyed the pretzels which had been freshly made.

It was my first day in Berlin and booking this boat tour, helped orient me in knowing where most of the landmarks were near the river, Spree. It allowed me to see how diverse the architecture was in Berlin from a different perspective all while having a drink on the boat. I recommend taking this trip as soon as you get to Berlin!

The tour went as expected. It is a nice way to see parts of the city without being on your feet. It is pre-recorded in both German and english

"Very well organised and a nice relaxing hour on the River Spree. All staff members were extremely friendly and very hospitable. Drinks onboard were a reasonable price and served with a smile. The cruise itself takes in all the main sites of Central Berlin which run alongside the river. Informative information given via loudspeaker on the boat. An hour was just the right amount of time. We were worried about exchanging electronic ticket for a physical ticker after reading some reviews. The process couldn’t be simpler and the exchange point is literally right next to entrance point. Would highly recommend. "

The tickets need to be collected from the kiosk, Viator sends voucher on the app which is not a ticket.

Really nice trip with the option of buying refreshments at an ok price.

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!

It was a great boat trip on the Spree. Nice staff and very good explanation

Very pleasant one-hour cruise around the main monuments of Berlin Possibility to eat on the boat for a reasonable price Too bad the comments were not in French

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.

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.

Great relaxing way to see the city, narration in German and English.

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

The ride was informative. I found it a pity that some people only came shortly before departure and that the departure was delayed. Seating very comfortable. To recommend

One of the best tours we had, so relaxing, with nice coffee and hot chocolate. 100% recommended to anyone in Berlin!

Very informative, nice staff, the guide (recording) speaks a bit slurred!

It was a lovely tour, there were short explanations about the sights in and in , and additionally we booked audioguides for my parents in Russian (one time use headphones are provided, if you have a pair you could bring it with you so that you also limit the cable waste) Prices are as on any other boat tour I would say. If you are a bigger group book a table in advance or go early as there might not be a free one left.

Nice way to see Berlin from the riverside. Good value for your money

Lovely relaxing cruise, very good value for money. The commentary was in German, we are English, therefore couldn’t understand a word. We were given GPS devices which unfortunately didn’t work, it would have been nice to hear the history of the places we passed, a bit disappointed.

The crew was competent and friendly. The ship was clean. The guide was extremely knowledgeable and made it enjoyable to listen. We plan to take this tour again!!!!

Me and my father was so happy, but there was a guy who was so rude and shouting to us when i asked him which boat is our boat!! Idiot!! I hope really he loose his Job!

A lovely trip with good service for drinks and food. Perhaps change the plastic seats for a little more comfort. The time was just right. Good explanation of the various sights.

It's about Berlin not only in tourist places so it's really interesting. You will see very diverse people and places.

We missed the departure twice, and with no problems boarded the next day !

Great and thank me later but for the English speakers, BYO headphone WITH AUDIO JACKS!! Have snacks and lots of coffee to stay awake as the cruise can be so relaxing that you might sleep through it ..

Fantastic tour well worth the money Was so nice to have waiter service for drinks . only comment would be audio guide even on full volume was little quiet and the german guide talking at the front was very loud and said way more than the audio guide did

Brilliant day out, really enjoyable and well worth the price. The only negative to it is that the commentary is in German and small amounts in English but really low sound so can't hear it but overall brilliant experience.

This trip was 4 hours, althoough it included lots of short stops. We saw lots of famouus and not so famous buildings, bit also canals, people relaxing, bridges. One area seemed so intriguing that we went back later for drinks and people watching.

Excellent water tour of Berlin. Seeing the Landwehrkanal was very interesting as well.

Totally recommended, all seats are outside! Small, well-stocked bar and unbeatable for the price, since it takes 2.5 hours to get there. The audio guide gives some interesting information here and there and otherwise you can just enjoy the ride and see Berlin from a different angle. We thought it was great :)

It was a really nice evening trip. The reception and service was impeccable and very nice. Always my pleasure.

Nice trip over the Sprre, with interesting audio commentary, which could have been a bit more lavish. Nice team on board.

Highly recommended!!! Not too crowded like other boat tours we've done with other providers, small but yours is the motto here and they really live up to that. There was an Aperol as a welcome gift and the selection of drinks is really impressive. The two were sooo super friendly we would book again immediately.

Relaxing boat trip with a cocktail to start. Audio guide could have given more info. If you go on this trip which I’d recommend sit at the back of the boat so you get the best lighting for photos and the sunset

It was quite an experience and will definitely do it again. I recommend!

The boat trip declared as an evening trip is scheduled far too early (7:30 p.m.) at the beginning of July(!). It was only shortly before the end of the journey that twilight set in, so that we did not, or hardly, enjoy seeing the area illuminated in the evening. The route should at least go as far as Charlottenburg Palace or be offered as a circuit! The AudioGuide system often had dropouts due to low battery capacity and takes some getting used to, especially for older guests! (The device must be held close to the ear.) During the journey, it would be better to use a loudspeaker system to provide direct sound reinforcement in the ship's cabin. The crew and bar staff are courteous and friendly. The ship makes a good impression. Solar electric drive top! "Onboard" drinks => very high prices!

Great experience. Very enjoyable. Would be lovely with some music, but over all really enjoyed it.

The cruise was very pleasant, left on time. The explanations are very interesting. It's a bit hard to hear in the open air and we were also sitting behind 3 women who kept talking and it was distracting (but not the crew's fault...)The ship is clean, the prices of the products in the buffet are fair.

Our tour guide was exceptional and taught us a lot of interesting facts while on the tour. We took our kids (8, 6, and 4) and they stayed interested too. We are so glad we did this tour!

Great value for money. Very pleasant ride, beautiful views of Berlin, especially during sunset.

A Wonderful Experience on the Spree River Cruise I had a fantastic time on the Spree river cruise in Berlin! Despite the chilly weather, the vessel was incredibly warm and comfortable, making the journey cozy and enjoyable. The commentary throughout the cruise was very informative—rich with historical insights and local anecdotes that brought the city’s landmarks to life. It was the perfect way to see Berlin from a unique perspective. A special shoutout to the onboard coffee—it was surprisingly excellent and added a lovely touch to the experience. Whether you're a visitor or a local, I highly recommend this cruise for a relaxing and educational outing on the water.

Really interesting it was raining sat inside very warm guide was lovely would totally recommend

Wonderfull afernoon at river Spree. The guide gave us all information during the cruise and it was very interesting

Good trip. Spoke English and German although sitting at the front of the boat it could be tricky to hear properly sometimes. Lovely trip at twilight with the sunset.

The 1h boat ride is the perfect time to explore the main sights of Central Berlin. The guide provided a short description in both German and English. Seating was ample and comfortable with table service for drinks (additional charge). We throroughly enjoyed the experience.

The boat was comfortable and the seating layout was not too crowded, even with a full boat. Drinks service was friendly. Commentary was just right, not too much, not too little. Guide spoke clearly in both German and English and gave the same information in both languages. The sunny, warm morning made the tour perfect.

Our guide was very informative and kept the guests entertained with her knowledge and jokes. Very relaxed atmosphere and we'll worth the money. I would definitely recommend this if you thinking about a river tour in Berlin

Firstly, I want to thank the Big Bus employee Ms. Sena. She was very helpful and answered all our questions kindly with all the details and reccomendations. We started the blue tour from the first stop, Alexanderplatz, stopped at East Side Gallery. An average visit there takes about 45 minutes, just enough time to make it to the next bus. After that arriving at the first stop again, you are just on time to make it to the red tour. Everything is on time and that makes it easier. There is also a live bus tracking app and free wifi. Overall, hop on hop off buses are a good way to explore the city. Recommended.

This was a great way to see the city - the red line was great, really easy to navigate. I learned lots during the tour!

The bus was so ideal for getting around the city & seeing all the sights! We had limited time in Berlin so it was a great way to see it all quickly. The start point was so close to our hotel in Alexanderplatz. The audio on the bus was very informative & we felt we learnt a lot!

Great views. My experience started out with a rainy day, but the bus still arrived promptly on time. Shortly after, rain seized and I got to see all the wonderful viewpoints and landmarks Berlin had to offer. The bus made only a couple of stops, as was indicated. Overall, I am quite happy with my experience.

very good information and arriving easy cost effective way to get around the city for a day. wish it would run slightly longer and that they cleaned the buses a bit more often.

The buses were in good condition, the on-board audio was very clear, and the staff were friendly.

There are many historical places to visit in this city. places are at a considerable distance of each other. The best way see all the sites in one day is hop on hop off.

Easy to use, informative and great way to get around city. Drivers and staff all very friendly

It was an amazing experience, the hip hop bus is perfect for the travellers who would like to explore more places and in a convenient and cost effective way.

I would definitely recommend the 48hr bus with walk and night tour. Absolutely brilliant. Very informative and the staff are very friendly and helpful. Simon the tour guide is amazing. Very knowledgeable and we really enjoyed the walking trip. Thanks again for making our break in Berlin an enjoyable one.

Very easy to use and excellent for getting around the city to all the cites. Would use again on another visit to Berlin!

Using the Big Bus over a 24 hour period allows you to get a feel for Berlin city. Then use the tour to visit specific places.

The boat was very comfortable. The staff offered blankets and a drink. The translation was very good and covered all the points we passed. A perfect attraction to get to know the city

It was a very sunny day for our trip and our boat offered comfortable seats in the shade that still offered excellent views. The audio guide worked well and was very informative. We were even welcomed on board with a cold drink!

A peaceful and quiet scenic “float” down the river. A good way to see local Berliners enjoying the river.

It’s one of the activities every tourist should do better then other boat tour on the spree less peaple lot of space, audio guide and barman is super cool !

We really enjoyed this excursion. what's not to love about a nice, relaxing, scenic trip down the Spree River on a beautiful day. Plus, the crew was very friendly and courteous. Best of all, there were only about 8 or so other people on the catamaran, so we had plenty of space/privacy. This was one of the highlights of our trip to Berlin.

Getting the opportunity to see a vast amount of history is a great way to see a city. This trip gave you an audio guide in the language of your choice. With this you got to see and hear the history surrounding the river. The boat was very clean and the staff onboard was friendly and strived to meet any requests that you had. With a bar onboard it was a bonus that let you enjoy a cocktail while cruising the river. I highly recommend this to anyone coming to or living in Berlin. It was a great value and an incredible way to spend some time in the city. Cheers to All!

The lady who sold products to me was very kind, she gave me a blanket and explained everything to me in detail.

An absolutely wonderful sail on a sunny day on the quietest and most comfortable catamaran on the Spree. Great crew, comfortable seating, audio guide if you want it. Just so relaxing and a truly wonderful way to experience and explore fabulous Berlin. Highly recommend!

We loved the boat. We managed to get a “seat” (very comfortable and could lie down and chill out the whole time) at the back of the boat but there were options for tables inside or benches down either side to avoid the sun. The drinks service was excellent. The commentary was a bit sketchy and often funny because the content was odd but it didn’t detract from the experience.

Boat was lovely, audio guides were great and very informative. The staff were friendly and helpful. Bar had a good selection and reasonable prices too. Great value for money

The tour was fine although drinks as advertised were not as expected …

Great boat trip on a lovely day - we had to run to make the boat as we were a bit behind on timing - - whoops

Good variety of food and beer along with historical tidbits. Clara was friendly and knowledgeable. Would have liked a few more food tastings (4).

Clara was a wonderful tour guide who provided a great overview of the city, how to navigate it, and feeding us greatly with delicious bites and drinks. This is surely not a tour to be skipped because this tour covers a few other stops that other tours don't!

In addition to great food, we also got a great history lesson. Clara was fabulous and very informative! Loved the tour and the food. I would highly recommend and ask for Clara!!

"It was a cold afternoon in Berlin, but we met our knowledgeable and personable guide, Rodolfo, at a nice warm coffee shop and picked up Berliners to save for the end. I guess that others chose not to come out on a cold day, but they missed out, and my wife and I had a delightful personal tour. This is not just a food tour - it is a fascinating lesson about the food, culture and history of Berlin. We saw a cemetary split between Nazis and Jews. We saw walls pockmarked by bullet holes. We learned about the wall coming down and the sense of freedom that brings - and the lack of judgmental attitudes that exists through much of Berlin society. We even learned about Herta Heuwer's inspired invention and beer that comes red and green. Our guide, Rodolfo, is enthusiastic and energetic, and we spent lots of time laughing and learning. We tasted Doner Kebab (so good!) and some great local beers. I would recommend this tour to anyone who wants to learn a lot about Berlin and its food, while having a GREAT time. "

Clara did a great job. We really enjoyed it! Food was excellent, really easily to connect at the beginning and she really took her time with us.

We enjoyed our tour, though we were surprised to find that we were the only guests; we essentially got a 'private' tour without paying any extra for it! We had 2 guides, Rodolfo and Clara, both of whom were friendly and knowledgeable about the area. Neither of them were Berlin natives but both had chosen to live there for 5 years, 10 years or more after visiting from their native countries, which we think really speaks to the quality of Berlin as a city and reflects its multicultural population and eclectic vibe! We got to try a few different local dishes (it was definitely more than enough food!), and the beer tasting was enjoyable as well. Great value for the price and gave us a very good taste of Berlin!

Went to some interesting parts of Berlin Mitte and our guide Clara was very pleasant and very informative. We tried some interesting food and some great beer. Very enjoyable experience.

We really enjoyed the food and beer tour. Our guide, Clara was excellent. Very knowledgeable and did the right amount of talking and walking. Food was great and the locations we visited were excellent.

Our guide was very knowledgeable and informative. Great sense of humor and interspersed with historical facts.wonderful tour. Highly recommend.

Rodolfo gave the most in depth, warm and lovely tour. He kept us all engaged and interested while we learned, ate and drank and shared moments together. His knowledge was unsurpassed and the long term historical context and modern history was all explained thoroughly and efficiently. He is a master story teller and was so generous and kind with all of the people on our tour. Do not miss this opportunity. I was with my 17 year old son who loved every moment of the tour too even with some jet lag. Top experience in Berlin. So glad we booked this tour.

This is an excellent food tour of Berlin Mitte area. Clara, our guide, was highly knowledgeable about the history of the sites we walked by, and the food and drinks stops themselves were all excellent. A great mix of both authentic food and local beer, myself and my husband thoroughly enjoyed the experience and won't hesitate to book with Eating Europe again. Not only did we have great time, but Clara shared lots of other excellent recommendations on where to find different cuisines in Berlin, and those we managed to try did not disappoint either. Thank you for an amazing start to our time in Berlin! Jayden and Owen

The boat ride was smooth and with lots of information. Remember to bring corded earphones with an older round plug or adapter to this so you don’t have to hold the guide machine to your ear. Many languages to choose from. Would highly recommend if you need a nice break to rest your feet while learning about Berlin. The guides were great. Great table side service no matter where you sat.

Cool activity for families, also convenient with audio guides available.

Excellent value for money, good commentary, food & drink available on the boat

It was a lovely gentle way to see parts of Berlin that we wouldn’t normally have seen

Jasper was an enthusiastic, knowledgeable, and overall amazing guide. I’d definitely recommend this guide for tourists who don’t mind walking and wanna learn the city and it’s history. He made me wanna come back to Berlin for a return visit. Note: if you’re someone who can’t walk 2 miles at a good pace this probably would be too much.

We was lucky with exelent weather, and that of course made the boat trip very nice. But also the staff was very polite and helpfull with beverage and service.

Lovely boat trip along the river. We opted for the 2 hour one as we wanted to relax a bit in the middle of a hectic city break. The staff were very friendly, the boat spotless and well equipped, good audio guide, just enough information to be informative without too much to take in. We thoroughly enjoyed it, sitting in the sun, drinking a German beer and seeing the city, highly recommended.

The tour was fantastic. A really nice way to spend a couple of hours. The host was great, he came and took drink orders from our seats. The toilet facilities were clean and the other staff friendly. We were blessed with great weather. The tour is narrated in German but I believe there was a devise you could take to listen to it in your language. We didn’t bother with this as we were happy just watching the sights. Very good value for money although the drinks are quite expensive.

very relaxing, saw alot and free audio guide worked well. Enjoyed the experience.

I would say the tour is too long. I guess it just depends what you’re looking for, but we felt it was too long with long stretches of just no narration and industrial sights. The narration was not live so sometimes it was a little off.

The staff were friendly and observant. When our drinks were finished they came to take more orders. They let us know where we could find the audio guides if we wanted more. The boat was exactly on time.

Earphones for the audio guides as you have to sit with a device pressed to one ear the whole time.

Absolutely Brilliant night. Patrick was our host and he was soooo funny along with the other comedians. Patrick, Fitz and the Irish guy were Absolutely hilarious. Highly recommend.

Everything was great. Great jokes, very long duration, great value for the money. Amazing boat puns!

Great experience. One of the top activities to do in Berlin. Very funny and well organized.

Jana was fantastic, a great hosting comedian and an all round lovely person. We had a great night. Very funny indeed and great to support up and coming comedians practicing new material too. Well worth it.

We had a great time at the show! Lots of different types of comedians and Tera who was hosting was great fun and made everyone feel comfortable.

chris was a wonderful host, knew how to uplift the atmosphere and certainly was humorous. it was my first stand up comedy show ever and i was definitely not disappointed!

fantastic experience intimate and unique setting and fun to see the comedy scene in Berlin

lovely setting laid-back atmosphere and so funny Kris the host so cool👍

Wow ! What an incredible experience ! Highly recommend. The host Chris was incredibly funny and engaged the audience really well. The acts provided a variety of styles and was very entertaining. What a good night !

Great set of comedians and a unique and cosy venue, highly recommend!

Top location, warm welcome, great atmosphere and hilarious people all around. If you're looking for a fun way to spend an evening with friends, you won't be disappointed.

really fun got to see the sights as the sun set. The staff were very friendly.

Very nice cruise, but at night the visibility is reduced and the city lights are few on part of the route

You couldn't see out the windows because the light inside made a mirror image, and it was too cold to sit outside. We'd definitely have preferred to be on the trip in daylight.

Good service, weather-related we had to sit inside, unfortunately a large part of the guests (ladies over 60) were probably less interested in the sights and explanations as they talked loudly about their lives all the time, but the provider can't do anything about that.

The explanation was concise and informative. The staff was super friendly and attentive, and I'd definitely recommend them again and again

the principle is great but during our activity it was raining so we stayed inside. the problem is that with the lights that stay on there are too many reflections which prevents you from enjoying the view in the less lit places. of the 2 hours of cruise only the first half hour is interesting, then the comments being exclusively in German, it's difficult to find any interest. we had the impression that the goal was to push us to consume to pass the time

It's a shame that the outdoor area isn't a no-smoking zone. We were bothered by the smell of tobacco. It was pretty unpleasant.

It was really fun at first, but then the route got a bit boring and there was less to see! Otherwise, it was well organized.

A super nice and informative Spree trip🥰... I can only recommend it ☺️

lovely afternoon on the spree towards mugelsee .. unfortunately the language guide was in german when I mistakenly booked it for english however i still enjoyed my time on the top deck under the shade.

This was an excellent trip along the Spree to Müggelsee with the option to explore one or more destinations along the way due to the flexible ticket. The facilities were good with a choice of outdoor or indoor seating including under an awning on the top deck which was welcome as the sun was shining all day. We enjoyed seeing the ingenious way the awning could be lowered to pass under bridges. The clear and informative commentary on the sights along the way was interesting and amusing. There were friendly and hardworking staff proving drinks and snacks from the bar and the iced coffee was delicious! We would definitely repeat the trip, and next time use the opportunity to stop and explore.

Beautiful long trip. The speed was perfect to enjoy the view, the food and the beer all at the same time.

Loved the view around the city. Comfortable seating. Nice variety of snacks and drinks to buy onboard

Very comfortable and interesting We had excellent seats and the staff were extremely friendly and helpful

My partner and I have lived in Berlin for over 4 years, but decided to take part in the boat tour to see the city in a different way. Good tour, very attentive staff. Very relaxed vibe, definitely more suited to those looking for a relaxed chilled vibe.

This was a very beautiful trip. Very calm, good service on board and an astonish view all the time.

I really enjoyed this activity! The staff were lovely and the views were beautiful

it was a perfect, fine, peaceful experience, like a break from life

Really good value for money and time Service on board excellent Paying online was easy Thank you

Easy to find when leaving Treptower Park station. Nice boat trip with good staff and good service. Scenery good too.

Fantastic! Our tour guide was tremendously informative and our two hours touring government square flew by.

Tour covered so many buildings - a great way to get introduced to the history and architecture of Berlin.

Very enjoyable trip with good commentary in English. Bat service on board hood value. We had hot sunny weather so a great way to see the city.

Great tour overall! Had to go down to the indoor deck below when it started raining, but it was comfortable seating down there. I’d recommend going on a weekday because we went on Friday and then saw the same boat go by at the same time the next day as we were sitting on the edge of the river and it looked PACKED.

Really extensive view of Berlin shores including a long stretch of the old Berlin Wall. The only thing that was hard to understand was which building the commentary was referring to as it was first in German then in English and you wondered if you had passed to the next building. That didn’t detract from what was still a really enjoyable trip.

We need to give our sincere thanks to the gentlemen at the booth on Sunday July 16. We thought we had booked tickets for Sunday the 16th, but we had bought them for Saturday the 15th. After letting most of the Sunday paying passengers board... They just took a bit of information and let us board since they were not full. Our sincere thanks!!!

Well organised, excellent commentary, comfortable boat, good drinks on board.

Most of the other river cruises are only 1 hour; this is much better and so relaxing. Great way to see parts of the city and enjoy some refreshments.

The tour was in English and German. It was a lovely way to spend and afternoon relaxing on a boat while learning about the sights and some of the history of Berlin. Highly recommend it

It’s a great way to see a lot of Berlin that you might not be able to see. Only so much time in a day. The weather was perfect the day we went, had great German beer and got to sit in the sun for 2 1/2 hours and relax and take in the beautiful Berlin city.

Enjoyed the cruise very much. Was worth the price and very informative. Learned things I wouldn't have known about certain buildings and what they were and used for if I didn't take cruise

This is a really beautiful way of seeing Berlin and it's a great time to sit back have a drink and enjoy the views

I have done several tours in Berlin, some covering similar things. What I liked about this, was the very different perspective I.e. from the water Great experience overall

Be aware that a lot of the trip is about unknwn everyday buildings from the past and not too much historical events.

Try to book the day it does not rain because it was much different between upper and lower deck. Staff were friendly.

Nice relaxing way to spend an afternoon. Only downside was no food allowed to be taken onboard, but none available as all sold out.

On a clear day it’s a lovely ride. There is a lot to learn about Berlin and its history. The buildings, sculpture and impromptu graffiti and the end of the wall were all explained.

“The best walking tour we’ve experienced in Berlin! Highly recommended — incredibly informative, with a friendly and approachable guide.”

It was a very informative cruise the staff was very efficient. We saw Berlin from the water & it gives a different perspective that you won't see if you don't go on the water .

This was an interesting trip along the Spree with commentary in German & English. The weather kept us inside but the views were still good and there was a beverage service on board.

Saw a lot of official buildings. It was nice being on the water (this was a boat cruise) but the tour was rather her boring.

Excellent trip, very informative and an excellent way to view hard to get to sights. Easy to get to to using berlin card with public transport or hop on hop off busses. The only negative would be is that a wheel chair user would probably no be able to access this trip.

If you have time and want to see besides standard tours of 1 hours, this is a good opportunity. The boat isn't the modernest one, but ok.

We learned a lot about Berlin's beautiful and interesting architecture and history. Great experience.

Went with a group of my friends for a birthday and we found it very awesome. It also showed the beautiful parts of the city.

Brilliant tour, well worth the money and more. Great service and reasonable priced drinks served to you from the bar! Highly recommend for a summer trip!

Amazing boat, new and everywhere very clean, the traject was also very nice ! We loved it!

Calm and easy ride along the Spree. Friendly staff and the boat really looks good. Because of the solar energy it is really a smooth ride. You are not seeing too many of the sights from the water, but it gives you a nice view on another part of Berlin.

What a brilliant day lounging on the boat for 2 hours drinking beer in the sun.Would definitely recommend to anyone to jump on this sightseeing. Cruise

It was quite easy to order the tickets online for the 2 1/2 hour journey. The catamaran looked quite new, and was in excellent condition. The cafe and toilet were much appreciated. We sat on the right side, outside, which was quiet and comfortable. The narration was interesting, though a bit quick for me to translate completely for my husband. We really enjoyed seeing Treptower Park, the funky houseboats, and the beautiful riverside properties. The price was reasonable. The launch place was easy to find as it is quite near the Jannowitzbrücke. We would recommend this boat trip.

Enjoyable trip down the river in Berlin. Don't choose this river trip if you need to tick off all the main sights - this one goes east, but it's nice and relaxing, and a good way of seeing the East Side Gallery. For me it would have been more enjoyable if no-one was allowed to smoke on board, but we managed to find seats on the other side from most of the smokers.

Lovely relaxing tour. Boat was comfortable, although perhaps not as luxurious as pictures would suggest. Nice to see a different aspect of Berlin. Snacks were limited so you may want to take your own food. Would recommend

The boat trip was very nice but it was said to me before that we will have also audio in different languages which was not the case. Also, the food is very simple in the bar - they should offer more and not just animal sausages in bread....

It rained and they didn't cancel it. We couldn't go out because we got too wet. That's it.

Very nice! Unfortunately, we didn't see a sunset, but we heard a lot of information that we didn't know as frequent Berlin travelers. Recommended!

The cruise felt a bit long, although the boat was super comfortable and had a bar that served great snacks. The audio guide said very little, we missed having more information. About the duration, especially because of the time in the lock, which lengthens it, it got a bit tedious for us, also because we were with a child and two teenagers, and they can't stand much time on the boat without explanations in the audio guide

Really nice boat trip, friendly crew. Everything went really well

Great cruise, good crew, audio guide provides the perfect amount of information. Definitely recommended

A beautiful tour, the guides were so friendly and accommodating. definitely recommend

More seats would have been good. Otherwise, the announcements were very informative and entertaining. The boat was very quiet and the route was beautiful. The timing was also perfect.

We had such a fantastic time on our self-driving boat trip! The process was super easy, and the staff were incredibly friendly, helpful, and welcoming from start to finish. They explained everything clearly, made sure we felt comfortable with the controls, and gave us great tips for the route. The boat itself was clean, safe, and easy to handle—even for beginners! It was so much fun to explore at our own pace, relax on the water, and take in the beautiful surroundings. Overall, a wonderful experience that we would definitely recommend. We’ll be coming back again for sure! 🚤✨

Such a relaxing and fun experience. The boat is perfect for a picnic on the water.

We had a really nice experience with GoBoat! We rented the boat for three hours and it was such a fun and relaxing way to explore. The boat isn’t very fast, so it’s good to plan enough time to make your way back, but that just added to the laid-back vibe. The staff from the company were super friendly and helpful, which made the whole experience even better. Would definitely recommend!

The instructors were lovely and the boat was easy to drive , we had so much fun.

Absolutely wonderful activity! The team at Go Boat were absolutely amazinggggg 🫶🏼 The ride itself was very easy to and I believe this is one of the most chill and relaxing activities you could do in Berlin, beautiful 🫶🏼

My husband and I hired a boat for an hour and we had a lovely time on the water. Max was very helpful and friendly and gave us good clear instructions on how to sail the boat. We brought a picnic with us and had a nice relaxing trip. 😁

Everything is great! Thanks to our guide, the service is impeccable❤️

We had a great time on the boat! Was really easy to drive- perfect way to spend a Sunday morning! Would definitely reccomend if you’re visiting Berlin for a few nights.

It was a beautiful, tranquil boat trip. No engine noise, no pollution. the boat was easy to manage and my 12 yr old son enjoyed the role of the captain. the 2 hours flew.

Excellent introduction and instructions from our guide and perfect tour along the Spree.

It was a great experience, the boat was easy to control . Amazing staff who explained everything clearly and views were spectacular.

It was really fun to see the Berlin from the Spree and roam around the molecule man. Every bit of it is worth it.

The tour was great; the staff on board were very friendly and nice. We will definitely do the tour again.

A really nice way to get to know Berlin from the water. Suggestion for improving the audio guide: play a ringtone when the speaker starts talking again

Very friendly service on board. The description of the sights was very well written; the whole thing was very nicely formulated in terms of language.

It was great; the boat practically glided through Berlin. The only thing that could be improved was the signage for accessible entry.

What a pleasure to enjoy a boat trip in such comfortable and relaxed conditions! I highly recommend it: very friendly welcome, lots of space (there weren't many people), quiet (and eco-friendly). Interesting passage through the lock on top of that. The audio guide commentary in French was good (changed because the batteries were dead). A really enjoyable 2.5-hour trip, unlike a traditional cruise boat (which are often crowded, with everyone sitting on chairs and listening to commentary over a microphone), and no more expensive (actually cheaper). I would definitely do it again! Thank you for this great idea :)

A very relaxing informative river boat trip. The audio guide was very good and staff helpful and efficient and we learned a lot about Berlin.

It was very quiet so the activity felt very luxurious. Nice info from the audio guide and nice that the boat is so quiet. It is a pity that it is the same back and forth, because if it is as warm as it was for us, you cannot sit in the sun. But of course you know that in advance. A must for those who want to see the city from a different side and at the same time want to have a nice chat with partner, friends or family.

The Solar Schiff is super clean and has a really nice atmosphere. We deliberately chose it because of the pictures and accepted the journey by S-Bahn. But it wasn't as far as we thought. Unlike the other ships, there are toilets on board. A total plus point. The prices on the ship are really reasonable. Great! The staff is super friendly. The weather wasn't playing along that well. But the interior was also great and you had a very good view. The guide was really informative and super easy to use. Just hold it to your ear and listen Super easy to understand. I'd definitely recommend it and would choose it over any other boat trip. Cheers from Würzburg

Amazing tour! Probably the best money we spent in Berlin. Fabulous chat with Suzanna which made it all the better! Highly recommend!
