This hour-long, live-narration tour up and down the Spree River was well worth the time and money. The boat boards from the Museum Island area. Every seat has a good view - about 1/4 are under a shade tent and the rest are open air. After sitting, a server comes by asking for orders of beer, wine and soft drinks. Bring cash for this! It was pleasant to sit with a radler watching the city go by. The live narrator speaks in both German and English, and provides witty and informative commentary on what we see on the river as well as the history of Berlin. There's a lot to see and experience and we definitely enjoyed the ride. It was especially great as we took the ride during the Berlin marathon, when it would have been difficult to get to some of the core sights. All in all, a great way to spend an hour! read more

Took a boat tour while I was in Berlin along the river in December and thought the cruise was ok. The boat was heated and it had the glass door along the side and top roof, so one could see places from as many angles as possible. The tour was just one hour, so it was really a quick 2-time turn around once the tour started. Overall, it gave different angles of how one could see Berlin, but I felt like there could be more information/interesting facts and history (rather than just simply pointing out what each buildings was all about). Overall, a decent way to spend time in a different way, but I wouldn't say it is a must do either. It is best as a supplementary information and probably doing other tours you may get more information you need if you wanted to learn more about Berlin. The other thing was....because of the heat inside/cold outside..the glass windows got so fogged up that one couldn't really see much at all...so perhaps, winter isn't really the best time to do the tour. read more

We found this boat tour after looking on TripAdvisor while in Berlin. We noticed many boat tours, but this one was rated tops! It's just south of the bridge where the big bubbles are, and just north of the DDR museum. You pay by cash at the dock, and get a ticket to go onboard. It is not covered, so prepare yourself with a hat and sunscreen. There will be a server that will take drink orders and you'll pay at the end in cash as well. There is a large selection of drinks, mostly beer-related. The tour is given in German and English, one after the other, as you cruise casually up and down the river. Though we had wandered a lot the previous day and saw lots of things, it was neat to get a different perspective on the water, and some of the stories are very interesting. The tour lasts about an hour. read more
