Tours and Spree river cruises in Berlin

Spree river cruises on historic boats, walking tours, bike tours through Tiergarten and Charlottenburg, and day trips to Potsdam's Sanssouci Palace – tours are the category with the biggest price gaps between portals. The same Spree cruise departing near the Museumsinsel or the Reichstag shows up with different starting prices because pier, language option and seasonal surcharge are priced differently.

Duration is worth a close look: a one-hour river cruise and a combined day trip with a boat leg can look alike in the title but differ a lot in what is included. We compare stated times in minutes and keep offers apart when the duration does not line up.

Guided tours in Berlin mostly run in German and English; other languages are mainly available in high season from May to September. The language selection appears in each portal's booking step and can affect the price.

For trips to Potsdam or on the Spree: the tours run in the rain too, but the view of the Museumsinsel and photo opportunities suffer. Providers with free cancellation up to 24 hours before departure let you move to a better day – often worth more than a euro or two of price difference.
