Berlin: Spree River Sightseeing Boat Tour With Audio Narration

Wasn’t in English as suggested when I booked. Then we asked as people on our table and it was to much trouble to explain how the device they handed to us worked.

Excellent cruise and information. Only issue was a crew member smoking in front of us while on the boat. I have asthma and it made me cough.

How smart to see Berlin like that. the boat was lovely and clean and when we booked it we did not know we had table service. I really enjoyed the river cruise in Berlin, it is a brilliant experience. the staff were excellent. So glad we booked this, it was a lovely way to spend the morning and money well spent. Highly recommended.

A leisurely 1 hour cruise with recorded commentary. Gives a different perspective to some of the sites when seen from the river.

We booked on this trip only to arrive and learn that it had been cancelled. It is showing as a past trip and I have been asked for a review by Viator despite contacting them to tell them it was cancelled. They have not responded to my messages

Very bad experience, booked the tour via trip advisor, it was cancelled without any notification-we only found out when we phoned the company after waiting in the cold for 35 minutes. Have contacted the company and Tripadvisor for a refund and still have not heard anything back. Extremely disappointed in the service!

Views were good. Only downfall was the listening device provided. One did not work at all and one had the battery die. So... I got to see the views but not sure what I was looking at as the tour was in German.

The VIATOR barcode does not work when boarding the boat, so the boat attendant looked up my name and only found one ticket purchased so I had to convince them that I purchased more by showing them my email from VIATOR. The process of confirming that I had the required tickets was holding up the boarding process so they let us board. They also said the price that I paid was too expensive and should purchase tickets directly from them at the boat.

I do not know who messed this up, We booked a tour especially for 11.00am through Trip Advisor which was confirmed by email. On checking the ticket issued by Stern Und Kreis the time was showing as 11.30am which would have caused us to miss our next tour. At the boat we had to argue our way on board and then there were no audio guides in English provided. Overall the experience was the worst I have experienced and would not recommend either Trip Advisor or Stern Und Kreis.

Great experience! Learned more about Germany and being on a boat was great. Would reccomend if you don't mind being on a boat

The boat was fine and there was a decent selection of beverages to purchase. But it was raining and the view from below deck was poor. I would look for a glass covered boat next time. Also the audio tour wands were not handed out, they were just in a pile in an inconspicuous location that we didn’t notice until we de-boarded, so we missed all the information.

Great , lovely kind staff, table service for drinks all reasonably priced. I didn’t make my scheduled time but they still let me on. Leave plenty of time to find the right boat and turn up 30 mins before

My wife and I did a one hour tour, and was the perfect way to start the day and understand the layout of Berlin and to preview some of the spots we wanted to hit. We were a bit worried it’d be too short, but agree more would’ve been too much for us…though also agreed it would’ve been lovely just to float and sight see.

I recently took a Spree River cruise, and it was such a beautiful and relaxing way to explore the city. The boat glided smoothly along the water, offering great views of historic landmarks and impressive architecture from an uncrowded vantage. I opted for a one-hour city center tour, which was the perfect length to soak in the sights without feeling rushed. The handheld audio guide (available in multiple languages) provided me the needed English version. The handheld is critical if you want information on the sights. Whether you're a first-time visitor or a local looking to see the city in a new way, I recommend a Spree River cruise. The views of the buildings, bridges, churches, and museums are the highlight of my trip.

Confirmation was so fast and a quick scan at the dock near museum island, no waiting around. I personally like the views of the Reichstag, Berlin cathedral, and Oberbaum bridge was unreal.

The boat trip on the Spree was a wonderful and interesting experience. Discovering Berlin from the water offers a very special perspective on the city and its sights. The online booking and payment were simple, fast, and uncomplicated. I can recommend this tour to anyone visiting Berlin – it is definitely one of the experiences that you should not miss!

Unfortunately we waited in vain 30 minutes for the ship, no message, no phone number available...
