Cruise Berlin’s Spree at sunset aboard a quiet solar catamaran, with skyline views, multilingual audio, drinks, snacks, and room for 36.
“Beautiful sunset cruise. The meeting was a bit hard to find on foot. More detailed directions for walking from the s-bang would have helped.”
See Berlin’s landmarks and neighborhoods after dark on a 75-minute open-top bus tour with live English and German commentary.

Review of Berlin’s 2.5-hour solar boat tour, with quiet Spree views, sunset sights, audio guides, drinks, and practical booking tips.
“El crucero se nos hizo algo largo, aunque el barco era super cómodo y con un bar que servía aperitivos estupendos. La audioguia decía pocas cosas, echamos de menos más información. Sobre la duración, sobre todo por el tiempo en la esclusa, que la alarga, se nos hizo un poco pesada, también porque íbamos con un niño y dos adolescentes y ellos no aguantan mucho tiempo en el barco sin explicaciones en la audioguia”
Review of Berlin’s 135-minute evening Spree cruise, with route details, seating tips, sightseeing highlights, drawbacks, value, and booking advice.
“Man kunne ikke se ud af vinduerne fordi lyset indenfor lavede spejlbillede, og det var for koldt at sidde udenfor. Vi ville klart hellere have været på turen i dagslys.”

Explore Kreuzberg through German street food, Portuguese wine, beer, markets, and local stories on this intimate four-hour Berlin evening tour.
“Holger was the perfect host and guide - I would not hesitate to recommend the evening food tour. Holger brought the history of Berlin and of the Kreuzberg area in particular to life and what with the warm evening weather the neighbourhood soon was buzzing and vibrant. Holger’s knowledge was excellent and he took us to find some amazing food that was all thoroughly delicious and I have no doubt were the best examples around.”

Cruise Berlin at sunset aboard the Fitzgerald with wine, lounge music, and clear views of the Reichstag, Chancellery, and city center.
“My friend and I booked a 6:00 pm tour. We arrived exactly at 6:00, only to find that the boat had already left. At 6:03, I took a photo showing the boat already turned around in the canal. When we explained to the staff member that we had a 6:00 pm reservation and were on time, she simply said, “I’m sorry, the boat is already leaving and I can’t bring it back.” She acknowledged the mistake and offered us dinner instead, but when we asked for a refund, she refused—saying we should have arrived 20–30 minutes early. Nowhere in the booking details or agreement was this requirement mentioned. Despite pointing…”
