Enjoyable boat ride around the city center, was happy with having a seat. It was so sunny and beautiful and warm that I was falling asleep. Only negative thing was the audio guide, bring a set of headphones with a regular cord / jack to be able to actually listen to the audio guide. Besides that it was a lovely experience, I do recommend if it’s your first time in Berlin!
