Alex was very nice and professional as well as funny. She speaks English and translated everything perfect. This boat is not open air. So if you're here during the winter months or it's raining it's perfect there's bathrooms and it's very comfortable.

Within hours of my arrival in Berlin, my travel companion deposited me along the River Spree with…read moreinstructions that I should take a boat tour while she did Bikram yoga. I felt not unlike a toddler left at daycare for the first time: where am I? where is she? will I ever see her again? After gaining assurances that the boat returned to the exact spot from which it left and that it did so one hour after departure, I purchased my ticket and went aboard. It was fall and the weather was still nice but starting to grow chilly. I walked to the open air deck at the top, admired the wooden chairs, and plopped down. Quickly, a menu appeared before me. You can get cocktails on this here boat. The boat took off and I was served by a very, very, VERY attentive waiter and I soon discovered why. I was the sole paying passenger aboard this boat. The waiter photo-bombed my selfies, posed for me, took my photo, asked for my Facebook address, inquired if I'd be receptive to a visit from him ... I was observing the bored German waiter phenomenon. A boat ride tour of the River Spree is a nice thing to do. It in no way prepared me to better understand Berlin's layout but that's understandable. The boat had a taped narration, first in German then in English, which I wound up paying no attention to. It seemed so unnecessary and impersonal for only me. Besides, I was busy being distracted by that waiter. It grew cold up top and I retreated below deck. The waiter followed. He took my hand and led me from the seat I'd selected all the way to a separate indoor seating area at the very front of the boat. If you want to sit inside, definitely head here before anyone else finds out about it as it affords a front facing view of everything you'll see. Obviously, advance tickets for such a tour were unnecessary. During more popular travel months, who knows? The tours run hourly and the boat holds many so getting aboard is likely not an issue. There are many such river tours offered by competing businesses. I liked this one for the style of the boat and the cocktails. Several photos posted by others here show boats, but they're not the boat you're on; they appear to be boats people viewed while touring. Before offboarding I learned that this river tour would be closing soon for the winter months. If you want a boat tour to yourself with 1:1 service consider heading here in mid-October.

We went on a cruise to see Berlin from a different perspective.

The boat we were on was pretty nice. We had tables and chairs. They have snacks and drinks on board. What better way to see the city than by sitting comfortably while sipping Hefeweizen! There's commentary as you go along but it's in Deutsch. But not to worry if you don't sprechen Sie auch Deutsch. They have a device with earphones that looks like a PSP that lets you listen to the commentary in whatever language you speak. The trip takes about an hour and it moves in a moderate pace. Think of all the pretty pictures you can take!

He was not hiding the fact that he brought a bottle of wine onto the boat. He indiscriminately offered the wine to anyone, including children. The team did nothing to get his behavior under control. The boat was also packed as there was no where to sit and it was very crammed on the upper deck. My family and I ended up seeing nothing because we had to move to the lower deck to escape this behavior. We saw the sights from the cruise but we could not learn more because of his incessant talking.
