Discover the city from the water: The Reederei Hadynski enables its guests to get to know Berlin from a special point of view. On board the two glass panorama ships MS Carola and MS Franziska, tour guides will present the one-hour boat trip live and explain the exciting cityscape of Berlin. On the daily trips from March to December, guests can take in the panoramic view with a beer or a cup of coffee. When its not cold the roof will be completely open for the best views. In case it starts to rain the panoramic glass roof can be closed within seconds. Thanks to the large window areas, everyone will still be ensured an optimal view when the guides explain the highlights of Berlin, such as the Berlin Cathedral or the Reichstag.
Great guided tour of 1 hour. Perfect to see several important sights in Berlib, get key information as well as some fun facts. The tour was run by an actual guide and not just a machine with headphones or AI. Can highly recommend.
With a bilingual tour guide the tour was much better than recorded systems used by other companies. Information was detailed, humorous and interactive.
It shows you Berlin in another perspective. It’s a nice Slow ride, and of you are Happy enough you’ll get the excellent tourguide that we got who really made the trip worth going just for his humour and personal knowledgeabout the city.
Lovely tour, excellent guide! Would recommend! Option to purchase food and drinks on board was nice, also a bathroom.
Great guide lovely way to see the city and learn some of Berlin’s amazing history…
The tour was great for getting an overview of central Berlin. Tour guide was knowledgeable and had a good sense of humor.
The journey was smooth and seamless. Our guide was very knowledgeable and extremely funny. He spoke clearly and with great passion. I would certainly recommend this if you are visiting Berlin.
This was a great way of seeing the city from a different perspective. It was a cold day so the roof was shut but we still had a great view. A cafe on board meant we could have a hot drink. Would recommend.
Great experience, packed in a lot in a hours trip. Brilliant guide, funny, engaging and informative. Good to see the city from a different perspective
Great, relaxing way to spend an hour on the water. You get a little bit of history and a lot of beauty. Plus they sell drinks!
Perfect way to cover Berlin - very very nice . What a lovely ride . Mind blowing. Nice little nuggets of trivia
Excellent tour, the tour guide was very knowledgeable. Bilingual helped a lot. We enjoyed the tour . The pick-up location was excellent and easy to find.
It’s an actual person that gives the tour. He was good and the trip, though short, was enjoyable. It was cool to see some of these sights from the water where you get a different perspective.
This is a very nice boat trip through the city. It was my first time in Berlin and it gave me a great overview of the city. You get to see many of the sites and learn some fun facts. The tour gave me a better idea of what else I wanted to see in the city. The ride is comfortable and there are drinks to purchase on board. At just an hour I feel like it’s a great option to introduce yourself to the city.
Nice trip, not the most exciting. But the guide Andreas was funny and interesting - always a pleasure to have a human guide - it gives a much better experience.
This boat tour is relaxing and you really see another part of Berlin you might miss. I have a beautiful photo of the glass Cube building. Our guide was fantastic, he had a nice speaking voice and answered our questions. I would definitely recommend it.
I think all the positive comments were written by AI because the guy that was narrating the tour was absolutely “irritating”. The note named: “Carola”. Today Is October the 15th at 5:30pm. Please do something about It. Absolutely NOT recommended.
Quick 1 hour relaxing informative tour up the Spree River. Good way to start your Berlin experience. If you have already been to Berlin for a few days, I would not recommend.
I loved this tour! Very informational and entartaining, not too long, not too short. Many tours like this are now using AI to narrate the tours, so bonus points for this one for having live, real human intelligence and experience to narrate the boat tour.
I have done this boat tour in May 26 when I was in Berlin for business. All ok and great guide with pony tail. . Now in September 26 with my wife. Guide was poorly dressed , sweating and bare chested with open shirt. He was standing in front of us and in full view . This spoiled the trip and experience. Great difference with other guide of boat tour in May. Guide was not professional and a shame for the hospitality industry.
The boat tour with a knowledgeable tour guide was good and it’s a continuation with our Berlin walking tour we did prior to this activity .
The guide was awesome! A fun relaxing experience.
The guide was very clear and personable. He spoke in both German and English during the tour. The waiter was friendly and helpful. Ship ran on time and we got a nice overview of Berlin.
An interesting and enjoyable boat trip with great live commentary in English and German from Andreas. Please note that most other boats use a recorded commentary. We just turned up at the pier and bought tickets there-you can pay with cash or card. You can board the boat from around 20 minutes before departure and reasonably-priced drinks can be ordered from you seat.
It was Relaxing, educational, historic and a good value. Our weather was perfect and we enjoyed we lunch along the river while we awaited our launch time.
My wife and I booked this tour a few days into our Berlin stay. A great overview of the City from the River. We ended up wishing we had done this earlier because it really gives you a feel for the City. As a real plus, this tour offers a guide as opposed to an audio recording. He was able to "ad lib" parts of the tour based on what we were actually seeing on the shore. This was a real advantage over most other tours that we saw walking up and down the river. This is a real bargain for the cost - highly recommended.
Tour guide had great knowledge and the tour was a great success.
Although it is nice sit on a boat and soak in the sights, this tour was average at best. There were very few points of interest along the way, and we felt that the tour guide was 'stretching out' his commentary to fill the hour-long ride, which probably didn't need to be more than 30 minutes max.
The boat had a glass roof so we stayed dry in a heavy shower.
The trip was a great way to learn as much history and trivia as possible into a compressed relaxing experience. Even the nine-year-old grandson enjoyed himself.
Great hour long tour with good insights and history from the guide. Great way to get a view of the city in a quick session. Would highly recommend this boat to anyone visiting Berlin! Also the beer was tasty!
It was pretty fun ... The guide was awesome!!!! Everything was in time
Good presenter and knowledgeable flexible
It was a treat to have a person narrate the tour in English rather than using an audio guide. We learned a lot and had a few laughs.
Lovely guide and boat crew. Quite comical and made the experience enjoyable. Made sure everyone on board could understand also.
The guide was knowledgeable and funny. Great experience for all. We enjoyed the history and the views were excellent.
Very knowledgeable tour guide and very informative! We learned a lot and really enjoyed the tour! Thank you
This was a great way to see the city in a relaxed atmosphere. Our guide was quite entertaining as well. The one hour is perfect. We had gone on a 2 hour walking tour and this boat ride complemented that perfectly. Highly recommend.
Really great tour with a knowledgeable guide. We all came away having had a fun time and learnt some interesting facts about Berlin. Highly recommend
Brilliant guide, good route, friendly staff. Great experience. One of the few boat tours with in-person guide, really engaging and interesting.
Michael was an excellent tour guide. Nice and very funny. Very knowledgeable about the history and the area. Shared his personal experiences as well. We were also fortunate because my wife got lost so we missed our 11AM so they let us on at 12PM.
Tour guide had great humor and information. Seating was a little cramped but not terrible. Only drawback was going at 16:30 led to getting blasted in the face by the sun for half the trip.
Excellent tour with an informative and amusing commentary from our guide. We have now been on several of the city river tours in Europe and rated this guide and tour the best.
Great service on time thorough with the history and information of the city. Food and drinks available on board and bathroom services definitely would recommend.
It was ok How’d to learn more. Guide wasn’t great. Not informative at all. Just talked about himself.
Nice to have an actual person give the tour, rather than a recording or AI. Relaxing and fun.
Overall pretty good. The sun was very bright and made seeing hard. The guide was nice enough but instead of all in 1 language everything had to be said twice once in each language. The attempts at humor were not so good. Would have liked more facts and history information. We had to follow a diesel boat and could smell cigarette smoke from shore. 1 hours is fine just needed more information and less jokes.
The boat tour was both relaxing and beautiful! Such a cool perspective from the river. Wish we had done this tour first!
Experience is Good. I wish I would opt for double decker also to have that high elevated sitting. Next time ill try.
Wonderful commentary in German and English. It was fun to see how much German I could understand. Very comprehensive coverage along the River Spree.
