A perfect day all round :-) Our tickets were not checked. On the ship there was a very attentive service staff and delicious cool drinks. On request, you were let out at the next landing stage. The tour was carried out by a native Berliner from Wannsee. His open and funny nature kept all passengers entertained. A fair offer for €16.90. You have a great view of many villas, forest and sights. Gladly again!

Unfortunately only German information on the way. Would be nice if the information is also available in other languages via an earpiece or on paper

Was a very interesting experience, especially recommended for families.

Only one thing could be better it’s English guide during the boat trip

Very beautiful and interesting for the whole family
