Great way to see Berlin and learn about its history - We only had 3 days in Berlin so we purchased a 48 hour ticket for this bus tour which also included a 1 hour river cruise (total cost = 50 euros each). An excellent way to find your bearings in this wonderful city. Go round the whole tour on the first day and decide where you want to hop off/on again the next. Commentary was synced with traffic delays etc. and bus drivers extremely patient and helpful. Buses regular, around every 25 minutes. I think they provide weekly or open tickets as well.

Great experience with Beer tour - Raphael was a great guide and taught us so much about Berlin and German history along the way. The craft beers were delightful, as were the snack provided at two of the stops. We really enjoyed this. Do it!

Nice way to experience Berlin in a day - Was greeted by a warm welcome at the start and Big Bus people were helping throughout. Frequency of buses was good (about every 20-25 minutes) which helped in getting down and exploring several locations. But the end was not so happy. Had planned ending the tour at stop 14 but was told at stop 10 that the bus will not go any further. Considering that the time was only 5:15 PM, this was an unpleasant surprise.

Great stops just quits routes too early. - Great stops. We started on a blue route and switched to the red route. The information along the way was good. The only complaint would be the last red route bus was running a little late and when we needed to switch back to the blue, there weren't any more running. Plus it quit rather early - before 5 p.m.

Lots of sitting still - Nice route and audio to learn about the sites you pass. Unfortunately, the bus may stop at a particular stop for 15+ minutes with no warning. When you hear the ignition turned off you know you’re going to be sitting for a while. This makes using the hop on/off impractical and you burn quite a bit of your trip sitting still.

Disappointed - why run the service if most of the route isnt accessible - Not sure why they were running the trips on the saturday before the marathon - as 90% of stops were inaccessible to them so there was very little that could be seen. They made the tickets available for the monday but we werent able to use that as we left on monday morning. Felt a bit short changed really. Seats werent comfortable either - disappointing overall.

No up to par. - We didn't start off on a positive note. I bought tickets for 8 people. When we arrived I asked for 8 individual tickets because as you know people like to go their own way. He said you should of bought from us directly then you would of gotten 8 tickets individually. I tried to rectify and never could. Also they need more buses like the city sightseeing hop on off which is usually what I purchase. Because they only operate 9am to 5pm you can't stop many places.

Disappointing - Disappointing weekend given our 48 hour bus ride canceled out given we did not check in on Friday night. Then bought another day pass on sat and shut down early at 2pm so only got half the tour.

False advertising - The bus tour company's partner, who is supposed to provide the free bag, refused to give me my free bag with the 2 day trip. They claim they didn't have any

Big Bus A Bust - Even though they tell you the bus runs til 6pm they don’t tell you the last pick up at their stops is around 4pm and so you will likely be stuck if you get off close to 4 and plan to get back on to continue. Bus drivers were not particularly helpful or friendly.
