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.

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).

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.

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.

I purchased a 3 day Berlin Welcome Card. I first used it to travel from Berlin Airport to Berlin Hauptbahnhof. A Train Conductor went through the train checking tickets. I had mine on my mobile - absolutely no hassle. NB:You don't need to validate the Berlin Welcome Card ticket. I then used the card over the next 2 days throughout Berlin and as far as Potsdam on various forms of public transport. I received substantial discounts at the Barberini Museum in Potsdam and the Berlin TV Tower Observation Deck along with other museums. The convenience was fantastic because you don't have to keep buying separate tickets for each trip. It paid for itself in no time. I'd thoroughly recommend buying it online before you arrive in Berlin. Just put the dates you intend to travel. it was easy to buy and the ticket was emailed to me immediately.

The discount on various museums is ideal, also the "free" public transport travel makes it easy to see much of Berlin.

The all inclusive public transport is great. But you can get that on it's own. The Berlin welcome card part was useless. Website is horrible, it's impossible to easily figure out what's included, the paged interface makes it impossible to search, and the way it's indicated is very confusing. In the end we didn't get any price reduction in the places we visited

I recently had the pleasure of enjoying the Combo: Berlin TV Tower Skip-the-Line Tickets + Guided City Cruise, and it was nothing short of spectacular. The visit to the Berlin TV Tower began with a seamless entry—no waiting in line, which was a huge plus. Once at the top, the views were absolutely breathtaking. Despite a light fog in the distance, the burning lights of the city created a magical atmosphere that truly highlighted Berlin’s unique character. The panorama offered a stunning 360° perspective, from the historic heart of the city to its modern skyline. A major highlight was the elegant revolving restaurant located 207 meters above ground. The ambiance, the food, and the slowly changing view as the restaurant turned—everything about it was exceptional. Dining there was an experience in itself, combining fine cuisine with one of the best views Berlin has to offer. The guided city cruise was equally impressive. Floating along the Spree River, we were treated to a fascinating journey through time. The bilingual guide (English and German) was both informative and entertaining, sharing interesting facts and humorous anecdotes that brought Berlin’s history and architecture to life. Passing by both grand historic landmarks and striking modern buildings, the cruise offered a unique perspective on the city. Seeing Berlin from the water allowed us to truly feel the contrast and harmony between the old and the new—a perfect reflection of the city’s rich and complex identity. This combo experience offers the best of Berlin from above and along the river. Highly recommended for anyone wanting a deeper, more memorable view of the German capital!

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.

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.
