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.
This was a wonderful, relaxing tour aboard a beautiful looking electric boat. When the tour ended, I liked it so much that I booked it again and stayed for another hour 🤣🤣. The staff was kind and made me feel very comfortable. The blankets were so appreciated. I loved everything about this. It began to rain but luckily we had a roof while still being outside and enjoying the views.
The boat is delightful, it has shade and linen covered tables with flowers on them and is a lovely old vessel. It feels like stepping back in time to the 1920s. The information is given in German and English. We watched packed vessels passing by with people sitting in the hot sun and were so glad to be travelling on this one. The price was very reasonable as well.
I was not happy with this tour operator. I thought their communication was poor. I would not book with them again.
We really enjoyed the boat tour. The crew was professional and friendly and provided great service. The narration was in both Germna and English. I highly recommend this tour.
We loved the walk. Girissimo boat, impeccable crew, good music, great views. Only the starting point (Richstag) is that it is not central, but tb is not a big problem
A beautiful and a great way to spend the afternoon … the boat was lovely, the weather cooperated, and the drinks on board were lovely as well. (we did the 1:30 departure)
Very nice tour and very nice ship.
This boat tour was so quaint and lovely! The boat was beautiful and because it’s electric, it was very quiet. They served delicious drinks and gave us just enough useful information about what we were seeing, with music in between facts. My sister and I loved this tour as our first day introduction to Berlin and we would highly recommend it!
Nice boat and good tour. The historic ship with its electric engine was a nice change to other boats.
