A cruise along the Spree

Berlin truly is an amazing city. It has so much history. There is so much to see and so much to do. And the River Spree flows right through the city; East and West. So, why not see the sites in style? Here is some of what you can discover by boat on the Spree.

    1. East Side Gallery

    A boat tour along the spree will help you see this wonderfully painted remainder of the Berlin Wall while missing the crowds.

  • Lutherbrücke

    2. Lutherbrücke

    You can pass under this wonderful bridge from the water, and enjoy its fine architecture, as well as riverside views of the lush Tiergarten.

  • Schloss Bellevue

    3. Schloss Bellevue

    Located in the Tiergarten, this palace has been the residence of the president of Germany since 1994. If you can see the presidential flag flying then you know the president is in residence.

    One of the most extravagant buildings in the city, the Berlin Cathedral is definitely one to tick off the sightseeing list.

We booked this your as a group of 6 people, our host and tour guide Leah was very knowledgeable about the area, explaining the local cultural aspects of the urban art scene, we saw a side to Berlin that we would never have seen without booking such a tour. Highly recommend!

We got lucky with our Tour and Tour Guide Carlos. We were able to take our time and he pointed out so many things that we had seen before but didn't know the history behind it. 3 Hours may not sound like a lot but you are definitely beat afterwards.

Well, couldn't use museums due to the Coronavirus issue. But did use the card for transit- on the U, S, and R trains. Much better than being on a cocoon-like tourist bus, as it gave insight on real-life in Berlin and its people.

Well worth the money. Get to see all the main landmarks of Berlin whilst learning lots on the way. I recommend the walking tour, best part of the experience! You get to learn things you would of missed, such as Hitlers Bunker!

I had an amazing experience in Berlin as well. Have already booked for New York and Dubai and I won’t change for any other company. This is the only Bus with a live Guide. The service is excellent.
