I found it very nice that there was no tape but a nice young man told us a lot of things, it was much more personal.

No one checked us in or checked tickets. Therefore, no one could tell me to request an audio guide for English as the german was what was being announced overhead. I saw halfway through that some people had little devices the could listen to. I'm not sure if straining to listen with my broken German but being hands free or having to hold a remote control sized item at my ear the whole time would have been better for me personally, but I do wish I gad had the option to choose-as in si wish someone had checked me in and asked if I gad wanted an audio guide. Other than that it was a beautiful day so the ride was beautiful.

Allows you to see some of the most interesting areas of Berlin from an unusual view. The audio guide in Italian should be enriched. Some information is repeated
