Great tour of the harbor! Incredible deal for the money. The two and a half hour was amazing. My only complaint is that it would have been helpful to know in advance to bring headphones. You can get by with the guide without them, but headphones would have been really nice.

It was a nice experience. Exploring the city by boat gave me a different perspective on what Berlin has to offer. The audio guide helped me understand the history behind each important buildings and bridges. Through the boat tour you will see the greener part of Berlin. I must say the boat is clean and organized. The staff are averagely hospitable but I didn’t try their food/drinks so I can’t comment about it.

Die 2,5 Stunden Tour ist am Anfang sehr interessant, man sieht das Regierungsviertel und die Museumsinsel und bekommt Hintergrundinfos über die Lautsprecher. Danach fährt man jedoch ein gutes Stück nach Charlottenburg durch Hafengegenden und entlang der Autobahn was nicht besonders interessant ist. Charlottenburg selbst sieht man vom Wasser aus leider überhaupt nicht. Wenn man einfach nur auf Deck entspannen und den Fahrtwind genießen möchte, dann ist die 2,5 Stunden eine gute Wahl ansonsten würde ich die einstündige Tour empfehlen.
