Sightseeing boat tour on a historic ship in Berlin

Great experience. The boat was pleasant C and the cocktails were great. It was a nice relaxing hour.

There are many river cruises and I only did the one. So, based purely on the Hemingway, I was not disappointed. Commentary was in both German and English and with an open bar. Particular information of the Iron Curtain was interesting.

Definitely had a wonderful experience. Loved the boat and conversations between visitors.

Both us and our friends were disappointed. I typically don’t leave reviews but they asked. I’ve done a similar one a few years ago and it was more educational as there was a speaking person and not just a recorded tour guide as this one

The audio on this tour was very quiet and you basically had to buy drinks to sit comfortably. I would have gone on another one if I had known. Drinks are expensive but they also have coffee. Not very nice employees but cool looking boat and great if you’re looking for a drink tour.

Very pleasant, clean ship. Absolutely punctual. Explanation from a recording, which could be a bit louder. Very relaxing trip with beverage service, which definitely included more than the standard.

Great service on board a great ship - highly recommended - everything very clean - it was a nice boat tour

This was a gentle elegant cruise through Berlin on the river Spree, the crew were professional and friendly, with waiter service available, sitting at pretty tables downstairs or up on the viewing decks. The passenger numbers are much less than on some of the bigger river cruisers and this made it feel a very personal experience. Reasonably priced too. The commentary was very good, very informative, with lovely, eclectic music to fill in the gaps. I would recommend this to anyone, especially those who would appreciate a more sociable, approach to a river cruise. We really enjoyed the trip, it lasted an hour and was a highlight of our trip to Berlin - thank you Viator.

This 1 hour tour is relaxing. You don’t really see much to be honest. I had a good seat up front because it was not very busy. There was a woman with short blonde hair who was SUPER friendly! She made me an amazing gin/ tonic 👍👍 I forgot to charge my phone and asked her if there was a charger on board. She went out of her way to try and help me. Unfortunately things took a bad turn when I went to retrieve my phone - as we were getting ready to get moving. The captain (I guess?) aggressively tells me “It is rude to grab for your phone in my space”. Fact- I was not in his space. I didn’t get my phone and he ruined the vibe by being so negative before we even started moving. It got worse… He was nasty to the nice woman who helped me out. I felt terrible. I figured I would not be able to take pictures because of this foolishness…but the amazing woman brought my phone several minutes later apologizing to me. I told her she had absolutely no need to apologize. Again I felt terrible for her because I put her in that position. She went out of her way to provide a sensational customer experience which helps to promote great reviews and definitely helps build the business. Bottom line- the Captain was incredibly nasty to this woman and to me. He is bad for business and ruined my time. If anyone is following up- this was on Friday Aug 21 at 1:30 pm. Based on my experience, I would tell you to check out your options as there are many different boats in this same area. If you decide to take this one, I hope you have a better experience.

A spontaneous decision found us looking for a boat cruise on the Spree and we were so fortunate to come across a beautiful boat moored just near the Reichstag. We were looking for something different from the large cruise boats and the Fitzgerald certainly filled that brief. A very warm and entertaining chat with the captain & crew and the deal was done. We ended up on a ‘private’ cruise as it was just the three of us on board. Lounging on the top deck sipping our drinks and just taking in the scenery…the whole experience was excellent. Thank you again to the captain & crew and she really is a beautiful boat.
