Go for it! - Best way to see the city (followed by exploring it on your own using public transportation). We chose a 24 hour option which was good enough to cover all points of interest. It takes about 2h 30 mints if you choose to stay in the bus without getting off at any of the stops. Advantage over other companies was there was only one route so no change of buses to switch to a different route.

Berlin is changing again and you should experience it - After Corona, this city tour also had difficulties getting back up and running. But it's done. With a few small changes things are really getting going again as tourists are coming to Berlin again. You can decide for yourself whether you want to take it for 2 days or 4 days, or even take the boat trip as well. Prices are rising here too, so you have to pocket more money. The ticket sellers can be recognized with their yellow clothing. Or you can order the ticket online. Berlin is changing everywhere, new houses and buildings are being torn down, new cafés are opening, and some restaurants are closing again. If you walk along the wall where a white high-rise building was built, a new café has opened downstairs, very worth seeing inside, coolly decorated.

Wonderful - This bus trip covers all of the top attractions and made plenty of stops. The headphones allow you to listen in multiple languages, and the stops are convenient to walk to other places.

Covers main sights - Good way to see main sights, without too much walking. We booked with avios, so no cost. Got on at Unter den Linden. A young lady showed us where to get on. Driver gave us earpieces. We followed commentary in English. Voices were at different volumes, so it meant altering the volume. No bus stops, so had to remember where to get on. It would help if there was a display showing next stop. Bus does not stop long, so if upstairs, you have to descend stairs whilst bus is moving. Only one bell upstairs. We did whole route, stopping twice.

Ok - The bus itself was clean and came by on a regular basis. Not easily identifiable routes. Boat option = the pier that we chose was closed. No one really helped us find the right one. We eventually did but it ate up an hour of our time. Overall - with experience - I would do it again but for the first time it is not easily navigated.

Bd careful - Generally good experience. However, be careful because when closing time comes your tour ends at the bus station regardless and you may nit be near your next destination.

Awful driver, terrible experience - Rude bus driver who set off and immediately engaged in a call on his mobile (WTF? Do this in London as a taxi driver and you lose your licence....) Driver then ignored the bell and made no attempt to stop at our chosen designated stop on the map, nearly missed the next stop and parked the bus in the wrong location so passengers dismounted straight into a cycle lane. Driving was erratic with harsh acceleration and braking. 'Timetable' is also a complete work of fiction
