The Guide was very good and his live commentary was great. Relaxing boat ride in a closed boat. Ticket booking was easy and smooth in Headout.

Die Bootstour mit echtem Guide war super. Ich habe viele Informationen erhalten, die ich vorher nicht wusste und einige nützliche Tipps für den weiteren Aufenthalt in Berlin.

Dank Guide Christoph war die Tour sehr informativ und unterhaltsam. Erfreulich war auch, dass man trotz des kalten Windes (bei Sonnenschein) das Deck zur Hälfte geöffnet hat und man daher wählen konnte, ob man im Freien sitzen möchte oder nicht. Bei einem anderen Anbieter (an derselben Anlegestelle) wurde man bei der Frage direkt blöd angemacht. Schade, dass die Tour in die eine Richtung nur bis zur Schleuse ging, aber mehr passt halt in die eine Stunde nicht hinein.

Es war eine sehr gute Erfahrung. Ich bin beeindruckt von der guten und freundlichen Stimmung des Personals. Der Reiseleiter erklärte uns die Gebäude, an denen wir vorbeikamen, ausführlich und umfassend.Wir werden viele schöne Erinnerungen an unseren Spaziergang haben und wenn wir einen anderen Weg nach Berlin haben, werden wir ihn vielleicht noch einmal wiederholen.
