    Seats are comfortable, staff is helpful. There are several companies providing this type of service, you'll need to verify - ours was called Big Bus (it's painted on the side of the bus). Also, check the audio connection, in one of the seats it was not working and we had to change seats. Have fun!

    We had the deluxe ticket and everything was really good. The city tours through the government district and through Berlin's history were very informative and exciting. Our guide was very nice and funny. With the two different bus routes you could see all the important sights very well explained. Lovely again

    La experiencia fue positiva en Berlin, pero no me paso lo mismo con otros tours que tome en otras ciudades; Dresden: compre un tour que supuestamente incluia varias actividades y cuando llegue a reclamar el vaucher, la senora que atendia dijo que solo podia tomar el bus porque los otros eran en Aleman y perdi el dinero. En Munich habia comprado un tour de un dia la los castillos y desafortunadamente me perdi llegando y llegué tarde 10 minutos y ya habían salido, pero el dinero no me lo devolvieron por mas que hablé con varias personas de Get your Guide. Me parece injusto haber perdido el dinero así.
