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.

Unfortunately, the route had to be changed due to the renovations at the Brandenburg Gate. The texts in the audio guide did not always correspond to the location and were sometimes interrupted. The dialog form was very good and gave a good impression of the GDR era.

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.

I gave acceptable because, given the cost of the ticket, it would be nice to have an audio guide in multiple languages including Italian, illustrating what is seen and giving general info about Berlin. I was not at all happy with the fact that it was not possible to change the visiting time of the tower for a justifiable reason (shift of the plane flight). We risked not arriving on time and losing our ticket money.

But I managed to do it in the TV tower. The restaurant was closed, it was being renovated. The drinks stand had hefty prices.

We only used public transport several times. We did not take advantage of any discounts for other events. We didn't have any negative experiences so far, except that as non-Berliners we had a bit of trouble finding the right public transport connections. However, this also has to do with the many construction sites and corresponding cancellations of transport connections.
