  • Rating: 4 “good”

    Reviewed by a GetYourGuide Customer from Henstedt-Ulzburg, Germany on September 11th, 2012 A lot of people take part in this tour. It's too bad that the buses only go in one direction. It would be great to be able to take a tour in the other direction, too.


  • Rating: 4 “Good offer combo”

    Reviewed by a GetYourGuide Customer from Uxbridge, United Kingdom on September 9th, 2012 We saw the TV tower without having to wait in line. We had an Early Bird ticket. What we didn't really like was that we couldn't just get a coffee in the restaurant up top- rather, each person had to order a complete breakfast…so we would have been happy to have skipped out on that. Otherwise I thought the TV tower was really cool, and the view from it was great. The bus tour was good, however it was hard to find the bus stops. Otherwise everything was good, and the bus driver was friendly.


  • Rating: 3 “Not all of the buses were air-conditioned. That was awful in the heat.”

    Reviewed by Anke from Mülheim, Germany on August 29th, 2012 Overall totally fine..


  • Rating: 4 “Well-organized. Interesting ride. At times the bus driver was incredibly unfriendly”

    Reviewed by Bernd from Gollhofen, Germany on August 27th, 2012 Lots of interesting stations. Good explanations. Very entertaining. At times the bus drivers were super unfriendly and answered polite questions sarcastically and sloppily.


  • Rating: 5 “Everything went great”

    Reviewed by Jens from Aichach, Germany on August 22nd, 2012 Very good


  • Rating: 4 “It all went well!”

    Reviewed by Margarete from Hann.Münden, Germany on August 16th, 2012 It all went well as described, although it wasn't that clear which company we'd booked on the internet. Too colourful, too much info on the buses and cars and no clear sign at the start. Then it was hard to tell where we should get our ticket for the tower visit from and we didn't know if we should wait by the counter of the souvenir shop or the lift, and am I a VIP or not? But definitely recommended.


  • Rating: 4 “good routing”

    Reviewed by a GetYourGuide Customer from Leonding, Austria on August 16th, 2012 nostalgic and new buses


  • Rating: 4 “Informative tour and fastest way to the TV tower”

    Reviewed by Werner from Wollerau, Switzerland on August 15th, 2012 Great and all in all recommend it. Especially the quick entry to the TV tower without queuing is a great thing. Only problem was that the chauffeur took a longer smoking break every 3 stations, and once took two breaks for a 50 metre ride!


  • Rating: 4 “Good tour - saw all the attractions”

    Reviewed by Joyce from Angerberg, Austria on August 8th, 2012 Friendly and helpful driver


  • Rating: 5 “Really recommend it!!”

    Reviewed by Cornelia from Hamburg, Germany on July 21st, 2012 A nice team, great service! You spare yourself waiting in line to get into the TV tower- when you have to go to the TV tower at all…., otherwise this was an amazing city tour without having to wait long in line to get on board another bus- you can use this to avoid the expensive day cards for families to take public transport. Would go again anytime :)


  • Rating: 4 “Everything went well.”

    Reviewed by a GetYourGuide Customer from Flechtingen, Germany on July 15th, 2012 We were able to visit the TV tower without waiting in line. Too bad that you only get a limited amount of time. Since you only get an hour you have to plan it our well. But when you pick up the tickets from Alexanderplatz, you can go to the TV tower at the same time. The bus ride worked out almost all of the time. Because of the heavy rain the bus was very full at times. In the sunshine- we also had some of that- you can experience the city in a wonderful way from above (on the top of the bus)! In the afternoon we had to spend a long time waiting for a bus in front of KaDeWe. Somehow only red buses were coming, but no yellow buses showed up. But that didn't stress us out. We'd book this again anytime. We wouldn't have been able to make our way back on foot. You get to see a lot and everything is excellently explained. The driver and the ticket seller were very friendly. Thanks very much again.

    Reviewed by Harald from Chemnitz, Germany on June 10th, 2012 This tour is well done and has friendly staff.


  • Rating: 4 “Good not to have to wait.”

    Reviewed by Simone from Rietheim-Weilheim, Germany on June 10th, 2012 It all turned out really good - we just weren't sure at the start if we could get in the VIP queue with our tickets. That could have been clearer e.g. "pre-booked tickests". Best, Simone


  • Rating: 4 “No other way to experience so many sights so quickly!”

    Reviewed by a GetYourGuide Customer from Magdeburg, Germany on June 5th, 2012 This bus tour is one of the best ways to experience all the sights Berlin has to offer. Exchanging the online ticket was problem free and at every bus stop there were staff to answer any questions for us. The TV Tower was also problem free. We highly suggest booking beforehand as we turned a 1 hour wait into a 10 minute one. The only complaint was: On our second day, sharp on 7:00pm we were kicked out of the bus somewhere in Berlin as the driver was finished for the day. When we asked him nicely how we could find our way back to somewhere we knew he told us very rudely “I have no idea, use the public transport”. We luckily made it back the the U-bahn after some confusion. That being said it was all around highly recommended!!


  • Rating: 3 “Bummer !!!”

    Reviewed by Wolfgang from Feucht, Germany on May 31st, 2012 The round-trip itself was ok! Just a bummer that nobody told us that dogs were not allowed on the tower. Very annoying, when you only find out on the day what the rules are.


  • Rating: 4 “The tour is great and you are able to visit any of the sights whenever you want.”

    Reviewed by Patrick from Stalden, Switzerland on May 28th, 2012 Going up the TV tower without having to line up was just great. I would highly recommend it. Also having someone talk on the bus from place to place is awesome. I suggest taking this tour on the first day, as you get a good overview of what you should go back and see on your own at a later time.


  • Rating: 5 “Awesome! Highly recommended.”

    Reviewed by Stefanie from Finningen, Germany on May 28th, 2012 The TV tower worked out perfectly. After a 1 minute wait we were up the top (regular waiting time without early bird tickets is 45 minutes). Just show your ticket and you're away!


  • Rating: 3 “Sightseeing top - TV tower flop”

    Reviewed by Birgit from Bodenheim, Germany on May 10th, 2012 The hop-on hop-off tour by bus was just amazing.
    Especially with nice weather, when the roof's open!
    Don't bother with the TV tower…no waits to get in, long waits to get out. It's packed full of people, the air is bad. The view's beautiful.
    But you can probably see good views from the radio tower too.


  • Rating: 4 “Great tour through the city.”

    Reviewed by Pia from Altenmarkt, Austria on May 8th, 2012 The music between stops could have been a bit more high-brow. The staff were really nice and helpful. Thanks


  • Rating: 3 “Service was ok, saw everything.”

    Reviewed by Helga from Graz, Austria on May 7th, 2012 So far so good, but the guy at the check in of the bus and the TV tower didn't know about the offer and we had problems getting tickets.
    What I found a lot worse though, was how unfriendly all the bus drivers were, and the bus controller on saturday, so much so that I'd consider not booking again. I don't want to pay for that kind of treatment.
    Sorry but sadly a real no-go in tourism.


  • Rating: 5 “You’ll save yourself a lot of time”

    Reviewed by a GetYourGuide Customer from -, Germany on May 5th, 2012 It was just great to get into the TV tower so quickly, our friends had to wait another 3 hours after they'd bought tickets before they got in. We got in quickly in the morning, and had the afternoon to do a nice sightseeing tour. Highly recommended!


  • Rating: 4 “If we’d had to wait, we wouldn’t have gone up.”

    Reviewed by Brigitta from Fällanden, Switzerland on May 3rd, 2012 Most helpful and friendly team in the whole tower!
