The DDR museum is an interesting place to visit if you would like to find out what life was like during that time. There are interactive displays and films to watch. The tickets were easy to display on my phone. Just make sure you have one loaded for each member of your party as you need to scan them and enter through a turnstile one at a time.

The boat tour with a real guide was great. I got a lot of information that I didn't know before and some useful tips for the rest of my stay in Berlin.
