We went on a cruise to see Berlin from a different perspective. We saw landmarks: Museum Island,…read moreBundeskanzleramt, Reichstag, Berliner Dom, Schloss Charlottenburg, Nikolaiviertel, etc. It's 15euros one way or 21,50euros roundtrip. The boat we were on was pretty nice. We had tables and chairs. They have snacks and drinks on board. What better way to see the city than by sitting comfortably while sipping Hefeweizen! There's commentary as you go along but it's in Deutsch. But not to worry if you don't sprechen Sie auch Deutsch. They have a device with earphones that looks like a PSP that lets you listen to the commentary in whatever language you speak. The trip takes about an hour and it moves in a moderate pace. Think of all the pretty pictures you can take!

I am very disappointed with my experience on this river cruise. The team allowed a drunken man on…read moreboard that repeatedly yelled slurs and proceeded to drink an entire bottle of wine in the hour we were on the boat. He was not hiding the fact that he brought a bottle of wine onto the boat. He indiscriminately offered the wine to anyone, including children. The team did nothing to get his behavior under control. The boat was also packed as there was no where to sit and it was very crammed on the upper deck. My family and I ended up seeing nothing because we had to move to the lower deck to escape this behavior. We saw the sights from the cruise but we could not learn more because of his incessant talking.

Like the fact that our boat had top glass cover as the weather was cold and a little rainy. Kept us warm and dry throughout the tour. She also made an effort to address each group in the tour. She was very personal.

Alex was very nice and professional as well as funny. She speaks English and translated everything perfect. This boat is not open air. So if you're here during the winter months or it's raining it's perfect there's bathrooms and it's very comfortable.

This is a German-first, the heck with the rest of us company. The translation, another €3 per…read moreperson, is out of date and the wireless barely works. The food on board was decent, but eating before might be better and grab a beer ok board. Even though they deal with a lot of tourists, they don't really seem to cater to any other than German tourists. The boat crew seems to think they're doing you a huge favor to let you aboard. I'd do a different line and there's many out there on the river. If you do go, use the Berlin Welcome pass and red book to get a discount on the fare. The river itself is interesting if you can find someone who has the ability to tell you about it.

I really like taking habour tours in some of the grandest cities in Europe. Berlin, of course, is…read moreno exception to this. Now, the trip itself was quite alright, but I couldn't help being a bit disappointed by the fact that I wasn't able to ignore the tour guide, who used ambient music for the duration of the trip. I don't understand why. Anyway, go for a ride and have fun.

When we rented the float they told us we could only rent it 3 months in advance at least. We didn't…read morelike that idea too much then however thought it must be the best experience ever if it is THAT overbooked. So, with every day we waited, we got more excited. We planned the perfect tour and finally, the day came ... The float was dirty, like disgustingly dirty. The bbq was gross. But we couldn't use it anyways since there was no gas in the bottle they gave us. The ugly toilet wouldn't work, neither the sink nor the fridge. Actually, everything was broken: The swim ladder, the railing, the music system, the lights ... the anchor was missing. We tried having fun anyway and when we got back we asked for a refund or some kind of courtesy. But instead, the boss yelled at us, insulted us and kicked us out. We wasted time and money. Never again ALS Bootsverleih.
