An excellent trip,we were warned there would be only a commentary in German which would not have been a problem for my wife and I but would have been for my Australian cousins. However the guide gave an excellent bi-lingual German / English commentary. This tour represents excellent value for money and a quiter alternative to the hop-on, hop-off bus for seeing many of the sights.

Very interesting. Unfortunately, I believe I missed quite a bit because I don't understand German and the English book provided did not seem to have as much information as she was providing in her talk.

Very interesting and informative. Food and drink excellent. Commentator spoke for about 3 hours in German, but we were given a typed English translation, and it was very pleasant.

The cruise was a very helpful introduction to Berlin as seen from the River Spree. Our tour guide was knowledgeable, engaging and informative. The boat had many different places one could move around to. Enjoyable, and I recommend it.

Very good cruise .Though we are in Germany many visitors speak English the tour guide sounded very interesting (in German). Would it not be possible to have an audio English translation?

A very comprehensive overview of the city taking in a number of historical landmarks, stunning new developments and even parts of the old East Berlin still waiting to be redeveloped. A pleasant surprise was when we left the river itself and cruised around the various canals bordered by extensive parklands and recreational areas. This enabled us to get a fuller image of the totality of Berlin itself without the need to return to the starting point the same way that we had started out from. Extensive commentary was given throughout the trip but it was a pity that non German speakers were not catered for in any way .
