Berlin by Water - The River cruise is a great way to hear and see a different perspective of Berlin. The cruise was narrated by someone who lives and understands Berlin and what makes the city unique. We had a very good time and enjoyed a few laughs as well. Definitely would put this on a top five to do while visiting Berlin.

It’s a quick, but... - It’s a quick, but enjoyable river ride with good views of many buildings. The live English & German commentary is better than many of the audio guides.

Informative and wonderful dry humour - Firstly, just make sure you check your location point, I didn’t and we nearly missed the boat which was my fault, so double check what Google tells you. The tour was super chilled and last about the hour, The guide (Andreas I think) was very good giving the tour in German and English with a really good bit of chat and banter all through, it was good to see the buildings from the River as well as land. I read the reviews of a number of boat tours and I think the right decision was made here. Highly recommended.

Excellent walking tour with a brilliant guide. - Our tour took us round a fairly contained area of central Berlin. I hadn't known but due to how the Allied forces drew up their areas of control at the end of WW2 most of central Berlin ended up in the Soviet zone. The tour covered 16th - 19th century history, WW2 and Cold War era sights and our guide Emma, a very knowledgeable and chatty upstate New Yorker, was full of insights and a great guide. I've a feeling both Emma and I could have happily kept going for six hours.
