The tour took us to all the important places and we would not have known about the Kaiser Wilhelm church if it wasn't for the guide. This was definitely a highlight. On the older bus some of the microphones didn't work. The joking was silly - we'd have preferred more information about the city The syncing did not always work.

We were only in Berlin for one day and we had booked the Classic and East Tour...., which was a good combination as we had the opportunity to see everything "important". It was informative and fun. It was perfect for us. Staff were nice and helpful.

It is the best tour bus in Berlin. If you want to know the city and above all you have few days to do it with this tour bus you see practically everything and passes through all the important places. Good frequency, very friendly staff ... it is the third time I go to Berlin and this was my second experience with this tour bus because I loved the first one and wanted to repeat.

The keys to the buildings were great. One thing - There were several buildings which seemed important, but which were not labeled. I do not know if it is doable, but an interactive function where one could click on the building and a label would come up would be wonderful. My six-year-old grandson was most impressed with the elevator ceiling through which he could watch the elevator ascend and descend and the fact that his school (Berlin Cosmopolitin School) waa labeled.

The purchase via headout was completely unproblematic, so we were able to visit the TV tower and enjoy the view in no time at all. The most impressive thing was discovering the moving S-Bahn in miniature. The movement resembled that of a worm. The explanations and markings for the selected buildings are very helpful and informative.

Visiting the Berlin TV Tower (Fernsehturm) was one of the absolute highlights of my trip to Berlin! From the moment I arrived, everything was smooth and well-organized. The staff were friendly, the lines moved quickly, and the elevator ride to the top was thrilling! Once I reached the observation deck, I was blown away. The 360° panoramic views of Berlin were nothing short of breathtaking. From the Brandenburg Gate to the Spree River, every iconic landmark was visible in crystal-clear detail. I especially loved the interactive guides that explained what I was seeing — super helpful for first-time visitors. I also stopped at the rotating Sphere restaurant for a coffee and dessert, and it was such a unique experience watching the city slowly turn beneath me. The atmosphere was relaxed and welcoming, and the service was excellent. If you're visiting Berlin, the TV Tower is a must-see — not just for the view, but for the entire experience. I'd go again in a heartbeat! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ #BerlinTVTower #Fernsehturm #BestViewInBerlin #UnforgettableExperience

First part was good. We got off a stop. The second part in 9 stops the driver took two 10 minute breaks to smoke then waited outside a cafe for greater then 5 minutes for someone to get him a coffee

The view was great. However, the elevator didn't work, which cost us 45 minutes. As a result, we missed our next event. That was very annoying as it was paid for.

The tour took us to all the important places and we would not have known about the Kaiser Wilhelm church if it wasn't for the guide. This was definitely a highlight. On the older bus some of the microphones didn't work. The joking was silly - we'd have preferred more information about the city The syncing did not always work.

It was stressful when the mail with the tickets did not come. After finally chatting, it was settled in no time. In Berlin, the card worked very well. Unlimited public transportation is very practical. You can get around Berlin very easily and get where you want to be. We also got discounts everywhere we wanted to go in. Card was known everywhere.

Having the freedom to move around Berlin on public transport with my 2 children was just perfect. In 1 week we were able to see and do so much. I would definitely use this card again for future visits.
