6.Berlin Boot Sightseeing Tour on Electric Private Yacht

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 169 reviews · from $46

Glide on Berlin’s Spree on a vintage Fitzgerald fully electric yacht. 60-minute views of the Dom, Humboldt Forum, Reichstag and more.

“The vintage yacht was impeccably well kept. We were able to sit on the bow which gave us a bird's eye view. We were able to video all the lovely scenery. The running commentary was pre-recorded. Not the best because it was difficult to hear, but it did not detract from the overall experience. They also provided personal cocktail service. And surprisingly, the drinks came in crystal type glassware. We highly recommend this river cruise.”
