Super easy to book! The staff very friendly! After the short thunderstorm the view was super nice! The discounts you get for the second and subsequent visits should have a longer validity, unfortunately we are not in Berlin that often! Our family from Canada and we really enjoyed the view!

Visiting the Berlin TV Tower (Fernsehturm) was one of the absolute highlights of my trip to Berlin! From the moment I arrived, everything was smooth and well-organized. The staff were friendly, the lines moved quickly, and the elevator ride to the top was thrilling! Once I reached the observation deck, I was blown away. The 360° panoramic views of Berlin were nothing short of breathtaking. From the Brandenburg Gate to the Spree River, every iconic landmark was visible in crystal-clear detail. I especially loved the interactive guides that explained what I was seeing — super helpful for first-time visitors. I also stopped at the rotating Sphere restaurant for a coffee and dessert, and it was such a unique experience watching the city slowly turn beneath me. The atmosphere was relaxed and welcoming, and the service was excellent. If you're visiting Berlin, the TV Tower is a must-see — not just for the view, but for the entire experience. I'd go again in a heartbeat! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ #BerlinTVTower #Fernsehturm #BestViewInBerlin #UnforgettableExperience

The keys to the buildings were great. One thing - There were several buildings which seemed important, but which were not labeled. I do not know if it is doable, but an interactive function where one could click on the building and a label would come up would be wonderful. My six-year-old grandson was most impressed with the elevator ceiling through which he could watch the elevator ascend and descend and the fact that his school (Berlin Cosmopolitin School) waa labeled.

The purchase via headout was completely unproblematic, so we were able to visit the TV tower and enjoy the view in no time at all. The most impressive thing was discovering the moving S-Bahn in miniature. The movement resembled that of a worm. The explanations and markings for the selected buildings are very helpful and informative.

I gave acceptable because, given the cost of the ticket, it would be nice to have an audio guide in multiple languages including Italian, illustrating what is seen and giving general info about Berlin. I was not at all happy with the fact that it was not possible to change the visiting time of the tower for a justifiable reason (shift of the plane flight). We risked not arriving on time and losing our ticket money.

I recently had the pleasure of enjoying the Combo: Berlin TV Tower Skip-the-Line Tickets + Guided City Cruise, and it was nothing short of spectacular. The visit to the Berlin TV Tower began with a seamless entry—no waiting in line, which was a huge plus. Once at the top, the views were absolutely breathtaking. Despite a light fog in the distance, the burning lights of the city created a magical atmosphere that truly highlighted Berlin’s unique character. The panorama offered a stunning 360° perspective, from the historic heart of the city to its modern skyline. A major highlight was the elegant revolving restaurant located 207 meters above ground. The ambiance, the food, and the slowly changing view as the restaurant turned—everything about it was exceptional. Dining there was an experience in itself, combining fine cuisine with one of the best views Berlin has to offer. The guided city cruise was equally impressive. Floating along the Spree River, we were treated to a fascinating journey through time. The bilingual guide (English and German) was both informative and entertaining, sharing interesting facts and humorous anecdotes that brought Berlin’s history and architecture to life. Passing by both grand historic landmarks and striking modern buildings, the cruise offered a unique perspective on the city. Seeing Berlin from the water allowed us to truly feel the contrast and harmony between the old and the new—a perfect reflection of the city’s rich and complex identity. This combo experience offers the best of Berlin from above and along the river. Highly recommended for anyone wanting a deeper, more memorable view of the German capital!

Friendly service on the ship. Everything was clean and tidy. It was irritating that a different meeting point was indicated when booking than was then stated in the confirmation email. There was no recognizable shipping company. At the starting point stated in the booking, the employee himself did not know where our ship departed and at which events we had booked. We then went to the meeting point from the email and found the ship. On the ship it was a pity that the announcements were only played from the tape and no Berlin charm jumped over through live announcements.

Super easy to book! The staff very friendly! After the short thunderstorm the view was super nice! The discounts you get for the second and subsequent visits should have a longer validity, unfortunately we are not in Berlin that often! Our family from Canada and we really enjoyed the view!

I think the entrance fee should be much cheaper. The visit took only 20-30 minutes. At the same time, visiting the technology museum for 12 euros gave me much more emotions.

Visiting the Berlin TV Tower (Fernsehturm) was one of the absolute highlights of my trip to Berlin! From the moment I arrived, everything was smooth and well-organized. The staff were friendly, the lines moved quickly, and the elevator ride to the top was thrilling! Once I reached the observation deck, I was blown away. The 360° panoramic views of Berlin were nothing short of breathtaking. From the Brandenburg Gate to the Spree River, every iconic landmark was visible in crystal-clear detail. I especially loved the interactive guides that explained what I was seeing — super helpful for first-time visitors. I also stopped at the rotating Sphere restaurant for a coffee and dessert, and it was such a unique experience watching the city slowly turn beneath me. The atmosphere was relaxed and welcoming, and the service was excellent. If you're visiting Berlin, the TV Tower is a must-see — not just for the view, but for the entire experience. I'd go again in a heartbeat! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ #BerlinTVTower #Fernsehturm #BestViewInBerlin #UnforgettableExperience

The keys to the buildings were great. One thing - There were several buildings which seemed important, but which were not labeled. I do not know if it is doable, but an interactive function where one could click on the building and a label would come up would be wonderful. My six-year-old grandson was most impressed with the elevator ceiling through which he could watch the elevator ascend and descend and the fact that his school (Berlin Cosmopolitin School) waa labeled.

The purchase via headout was completely unproblematic, so we were able to visit the TV tower and enjoy the view in no time at all. The most impressive thing was discovering the moving S-Bahn in miniature. The movement resembled that of a worm. The explanations and markings for the selected buildings are very helpful and informative.

What I liked best was that we didn't have to wait. Many years ago the waiting time was long, despite the tickets. I found it negative that you could only pay cashless on the viewing platform.

First part was good. We got off a stop. The second part in 9 stops the driver took two 10 minute breaks to smoke then waited outside a cafe for greater then 5 minutes for someone to get him a coffee

The view was great. However, the elevator didn't work, which cost us 45 minutes. As a result, we missed our next event. That was very annoying as it was paid for.

I gave acceptable because, given the cost of the ticket, it would be nice to have an audio guide in multiple languages including Italian, illustrating what is seen and giving general info about Berlin. I was not at all happy with the fact that it was not possible to change the visiting time of the tower for a justifiable reason (shift of the plane flight). We risked not arriving on time and losing our ticket money.
