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.

We liked that the booking of the ticket and the team on site was very nice and helpful! We did NOT like the fact that there were a lot of school classes there at the time! Therefore only the okay! This could possibly have been coordinated differently....because some of the pupils were totally bored and blocked the information boards on the windows, which was so annoying! But otherwise .... a great experience! Thank you very much! With kind regards Corina Friedt

The view was great, simply impressive. Unfortunately, the tickets can only be accessed in the app and are not sent by email. So I had to download the app, which didn't work on the train. But I managed to do it in the TV tower. The restaurant was closed, it was being renovated. The drinks stand had hefty prices.

Riding the subway was therefore completely uncomplicated. It's a pity that not all companies take part, e g New Museum. Unfortunately they have their own system.

The deliberate use of buses and suburban trains (for sightseeing above ground) was very good for our requirements and needs. Clean buses, problem-free suburban trains, punctuality and no unpleasant incidents made the trips a good experience.

We only used the Berlin WelcomeCard for public transportation and it is well worth its price. Surely many of the sights are a short distance apart so you would spend a lot of time walking. With public transport this is just a bit faster. We mostly took the bus, but also the S-bahn or U-bahn. We used google maps to find the right connections and they are very accurate. We booked tickets for zone ABC because we also did the airport transport by public transport as well as a visit to Sachsenhausen concentration camp. Just be sure to print out the codes on paper when you buy, because you have to show them at inspection (this only happened once).

Great that we could use this card for unlimited travel in U bahn and S bahn and bus. Also got discounts at museums. Only never had to check in or out anywhere on the metro, but never had a check either. We could have ridden black all week, but we are not like that.

We really liked the opportunity to save money in this expensive city. However, we didn't like the fact that we couldn't activate another Welcome Berlin Card for a third person after a few days. So we had to pay the full price.

The instructions were contradictory, they mentioned printout in A4 as well as valid dating the ticket. We did neither. Also, it was not clear which discounts that applied.

It's perfect for transport, with one small drawback: I took the Pass for 6 days. We should consider a 7-day pass. As far as discounts are concerned, it would be a good idea to develop partnerships (zoological parks in particular) and consider slightly larger discounts.

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.

A feeling of freedom to use public transport, without having to worry about prices and fare zones. Access to the French-language audio-guide to Charlottenburg Palace is very useful. Were French audio guides available for other tours? We don't know.

Good experience: just a little doubt, as I had booked on the internet, was there a need or not for a paper format? (I had the flash code on our mobiles...). In the documentation, there was also mention of a first activation on a terminal, but we couldn't find one...

We purchased Berlin welcome cards which allowed us to ride the metro without having to purchase tickets every day; very convenient! And we purchased tickets to visit Parliament/dome and the show "Falling In Love." For our first visit to Berlin, these were both enjoyable and worthwhile activities. Headout worked well for us!!

We used all the public transport - S Bahn, U Bahn, Tram and the buses in Berlin so the Welcome Card was fantastic to have with us. We didn't have to worry about tickets. We also got discounts in the DDR museum, Berlin Cathedral and the Hop on hop off bus by having the Welcome card. Overall Berlin is a fantastic place to visit
