My family and I enjoyed this boat tour on our first day in Berlin. It gave us a nice overview of Berlin, the history and sites as we went along. The guide was informative, and it was easy to hear him. You could order refreshments on the boat. The seats are just dining chairs, pushed close together, four on each side of the boat. The rows are pushed close together also. The ride itself is only an hour and doesn't really go too far. The boat heads in one direction for a short while, turns around, goes past where we started from, goes a little way and then once more turns around to return to the start. Despite the short distance, we did feel like we had a good idea of the layout and saw some things that we wanted to return to later. This was a nice way to begin our stay in Berlin.
