Though the evening was rained out, it was still very educational. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and had a passion for his country, which was very evident in his want to answer questions the visitors had.

Good cruise but couldn’t really see much as it was dark, I was expecting there to be more lit up

I was alone, so it was a possibility to stay out in the evening and have a pleasant tour and a glass of wine. You get to glimpse places of interest and orientate yourself, especially if you're time is short.

This tour was amazing!

This tour was principally in German which I didn't realize. The commentator did intersperse with some English now and again but he talked so fast I often missed the fact that he'd switched to English. Also it was about 5 in English to 95 of what was said in German. I didn't get much out of this tour other than a scenic view along the canal.

Food choice on boat is very limited although price is very reasonable.
Review by: Rocio Astengo, September 2017
this tour was terrible. even though we booked the tour in English the guide was speaking german and because we told him we didn't understand he would say a couple words in english from the places but ou could barely understand. very dissapointing we even exit the tour early in one of the stops.

This long evening cruise is really a great relaxing way to experience Berlin, especially the city lit up at night. But the food served on board needs significant improvement.

Fantastic tour, we did this for our last night in Berlin and it gave us another perspective of the city you can only see on the water. Disappointed in the guides lack of English translation, he talked more about things in German and his translation was a few words and we clearly didn't get the same information.

Enjoyed the tour but would have benefitted more had the tour been conducted with more English comnentary. 90 of the commentary was German and just the headlines in English, so we missed out on a lot of information._br/_ Waiter service on board was good.

Tour was good and informative but it is long!

Very different than your typical cruise.. loved the fact that you were shown what most don't see.
Review by: Susan W, July 2017
The cruise itself was lovely and we had a nice evening weather wise, however, I had specified an English tour guide and I could not understand a thing. This guide did throw in an occasional English word here and there but we just had to be content to look at the scenery. Our waitstaff did not speak English either.

Very disappointing
Review by: Patricia K, June 2017
There are four things that made this tour less than perfect: _br/_ 1. The location is very hard to find. The signage is very poor. there are several cruise boats and it was frustrating going all around to find it_br/_ 2. As mentioned by others, this boat picks up passengers up-stream. It is supposed to be dinner cruise where you purchase food on deck however there are NO SEATS at which to eat by time it reaches the pickup point. the narration is very hard to understand on the eating level and also hard to see the bridges etc. So moving to the top level is a good idea regardless of seating below_br/_ 3. Once top side the views are beautiful. the narration very clear as one can spot what she is talking about. Altho we did not have anything to eat for 3 hours! they did come up to serve beer. _br/_ 4. The MAIN reason it was not perfect is: after eating everyone comes up top and begins their chain smoking right in front of your seat. It keeps happening no matter how many times you change seats! all are chain smoking and it drifts back into your face. There is NO REASON that this boat does not designate the BACK of the boat on top for smokers. their smoke would drift back off the boat. the front half could be for non-smokers. This would be ideal._br/_ Benefits of the tour are mainly seeing the beautiful canals and elegant neighborhoods that are not visible from spots like Alexandar place with the soviet style buildings. May 14 and it was quite cool on the boat. The cruise is long and you cant count on eating onboard....bring some food or snacks. we could NOT find a restaurant open after the tour.

So spectacular. A must do when in Berlin to see all the local people doing their evening thing!

Beautiful sites. There was very little English so it was hard to follow the commentary.
Review by: Michelle C, September 2016
This tour was such a waste of money. You go up and down the same swathe of river, and it's way too long like three hours. The food was not good--you could get way better / cheaper food at the boat meeting point. The guide also went back and forth between German and English, and maybe the German was better because he got some people laughing, but the English was perfunctory and uninteresting. I would not recommend this trip.

The narrator was absolutely great. In both English and German, he kept it flowing. The views were beautiful from early evening, sunset and then the lights were lovely. Food on board was good. I thought three hours might be too long, but it was a great introduction to Berlin for my friends who aren't so mobile, and can't walk to see these sights. I enjoyed boarding from Friedrichstrasse Reichtagsufer, rather than Jannowitzbrucke. We boarded at 6:30 and were done by 9:30.
