Relaxed boat tour in the evening - The weather was perfect. You get a good overview of what can be seen on both banks. There are snacks on board (buckwurst with potato salad and rolls), the seating is good. The tour is recommended for someone who wants to get an impression of the Berlin neighborhoods on the Spree or get a feel of the city without being on foot. After the tour there are plenty of restaurants and bars on both banks.

A highlight!! - Saturday evening, sunny and warm and then this quiet ride on the historic ship, which glides 2.5 hours past interesting public and private buildings, waterfront parties and beautiful landscapes. Including lock travel. And an attentive service on board. We loved it and the beer was super delicious.

Sunset cruise :-) - Beautiful 2.5 hour ride on the Spree, with bar on board and possibility to take alcoholic/soft drinks and some dishes (choice of 4/5 options, including a vegan one). The tour we took allowed us to see different fascinating parts of Berlin from a different point of view. We were also cheered all the time by great musical successes in the background, this combined with the sunset light made the crossing even more magical. Super recommended experience:-)

Wonderful, personal evening ride - I used the boat tour with friends and family to celebrate my birthday. The evening was really beautiful. We chatted them to the employees, got our own drink creations, my brother was allowed to support the captain, and there was room even for our individual music wishes. Really great and highly recommended!

Good views, but no guide - The views were great, but we thought from the website that there would have been a German/English guided commentary on the sites we were seeing.

Nice and pleasant trip - Nice and cozy boat trip, nice quiet as the boat is electric. There are, however, some proper toilets, it will give one star more 👍

Give it a miss. much better tours - it rained on our trip which was a bummer but thats not their fault. thought they might be better prepared for it though. we did not get offered a drink at all through out the cruise. We went up and down the Spree but you wouldn’t know as no one said anything. Zero commentary. Definitely not a trip for tourists trying to learn about the city.
