River Expetience - Better than expecting due to the knowledge and information provided by the excellent guide.. All the staff were helpful and accommodating. The boat was lovely and warm and the seating well laid out.The tour lasted an hour which was long enough to get a flavour of the river.I especially liked the information about the time the wall dividing Berlin was in place and how it effected river life.

So much to see - The tour and guide were really entertaining. Really intelligent how our guide spoke both English and German fluently and seemed to know everything about the cruise, architecture, Cold War, wall separation and general history of Berlin. Highly recommended tour. I think our guide was called Alex or Alistair - so thank you for a wonderful experience.

If you want to experience Berlin without a band announcement, but with heart and humor, this is the place for you. - Forget Siri and Alexa – the real Berlin humor still reigns on the Spree! Here you are not lulled to sleep by a loveless band announcement, but so charmingly entertained by the bilingual guide that time flies faster than a new airport building in Berlin. And if it’s a bit fresher in December, the ‘internal heating’ in the form of mulled wine helps. The seating is cuddlier than a rush hour subway, but the guide is a real ‘sensation’ and the glass roof offers the best view of the capital – without pigeon dirt on the hairstyle. So if you want to recharge your batteries without your brain freezing with boredom (or because the heater is currently fighting Berlin winter), you should check in.

Nice ride with little space - The ride was very nice just stupid I thought that many people take up more than one space extra wide and the people who don't come half an hour before then don't get any more space or have to squeeze next to these people.

Little to see - The glass was very dirty as soon as you could see nothing, bad weather did not accompany the guide only in German.
