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.

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.

We didn't know that the digital ticket had to be converted into an analog ticket by a staff member and that you first have to go to a certain office in Berlin. That makes no sense and doesn't fit in with the logic of a digital ticket, which I want to use immediately. CONCLUSION: We were not taken on the Bis as planned, but had to buy an additional S-Bahn ticket for 4 people to activate our dig. Bus ticket to activate. This was not stated anywhere and is also quite pointless - we will not recommend it to others.

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

Friendly service on the ship. Everything was clean and tidy. It was irritating that a different meeting point was indicated when booking than was then stated in the confirmation email. There was no recognizable shipping company. At the starting point stated in the booking, the employee himself did not know where our ship departed and at which events we had booked. We then went to the meeting point from the email and found the ship. On the ship it was a pity that the announcements were only played from the tape and no Berlin charm jumped over through live announcements.

My city tour was okay because the explanations of the sights were so quiet over the loudspeakers that I didn't hear anything interesting because of the engine volume. (I have good hearing). I couldn't get an answer to specific questions about one sight (name or use of the building near the Reichstag building). I would have hoped for more information about the sights to be seen. The boat and the service were otherwise good.

The speakers on board were very quiet. Could possibly be more. So that there is one on every 2nd or 3rd row. Sometimes you couldn't understand anything. Because other passengers were also talking "too loudly" for the few loudspeakers. Boat trip was good in good weather. The description for the meeting point was for the 2.5h tour. Until we happened to see the docking point for the 1 hour tour on the other busy road. Otherwise it was good.

No one checked us in or checked tickets. Therefore, no one could tell me to request an audio guide for English as the german was what was being announced overhead. I saw halfway through that some people had little devices the could listen to. I'm not sure if straining to listen with my broken German but being hands free or having to hold a remote control sized item at my ear the whole time would have been better for me personally, but I do wish I gad had the option to choose-as in si wish someone had checked me in and asked if I gad wanted an audio guide. Other than that it was a beautiful day so the ride was beautiful.
