See Berlin’s Reichstag, Cathedral, Museum Island, and Government Quarter from the Spree on a relaxed one-hour boat tour.
“The boat trip was very pleasant, it wasn't very crowded and I was actually allowed to join earlier - my ticket was for 15:30 but I was there at 14:30, so the crew allowed me to join this group. Berlin is very beautiful being seen from the boat. Don't think twice, especially if you are there for a short amount of time and want to see as much of the city as possible.”

Highly recommended.”

“First a multi langual guide that, even on his birthday, would lead the group of 14 in an enthousiatic way around the reichstag buildings. Gave a lot of background information on the surroundings. Second the professional german guide of reichstag explained in a detailed but still humoristic way the proceedings of reichstag employees. Lastly a walk around the rooftop and dome with splendid view over Berlin. Explanation with free audioguide multiple (also dutch) language. Good value for maney, to skip the line when free tours are already sold out.Read more”

“we're a couple, (Brit and Filipina) and I booked this surprise for my husband because he's a merchant navy then and he absolutely love it!! I personally enjoyed looking upclose the container cranes, how we're just a few feet we were from the bow of the ship and so much more. But most of all our tour guide, Kiel (excuse my spelling if wrong) was excellent!! Though he spoke in German, he spoke with us in English!! Well done!! He' s very accommodating and with good rapport too before the tour started! Thank you. Made my husband happy.”
