We only used the Berlin WelcomeCard for public transportation and it is well worth its price. Surely many of the sights are a short distance apart so you would spend a lot of time walking. With public transport this is just a bit faster.
We mostly took the bus, but also the S-bahn or U-bahn. We used google maps to find the right connections and they are very accurate. We booked tickets for zone ABC because we also did the airport transport by public transport as well as a visit to Sachsenhausen concentration camp.
Just be sure to print out the codes on paper when you buy, because you have to show them at inspection (this only happened once).

We only used public transport several times. We did not take advantage of any discounts for other events.
We didn't have any negative experiences so far, except that as non-Berliners we had a bit of trouble finding the right public transport connections. However, this also has to do with the many construction sites and corresponding cancellations of transport connections.

The discount on various museums is ideal, also the "free" public transport travel makes it easy to see much of Berlin. However, the ordering did not go to plan; it was reported that after ordering your card , you would receive another email with your voucher in pdf file. However, we never received this one.

The all inclusive public transport is great. But you can get that on it's own. The Berlin welcome card part was useless. Website is horrible, it's impossible to easily figure out what's included, the paged interface makes it impossible to search, and the way it's indicated is very confusing. In the end we didn't get any price reduction in the places we visited

Sights covered on Reichstag tours
Holocaust Memorial
The Holocaust Memorial, also called the Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe, is dedicated to the Jewish victims of the Holocaust. It displays the names of almost 3 million Jewish Holocaust victims in an adjoining underground "Place of Information," received from the Israeli museum Yad Vashem.
Brandenburg Gate
Inspired by the Propylaea on the Acropolis of Athens, the Brandenburg Gate is one of Berlin's most well-known historical sites. King Frederick Wilhelm II had this massive Neoclassical gate built in 1788. It used to stand as a representation of a divided country but now represents peace and harmony.
Museum Island
A UNESCO World Heritage Site, Spree Island or Museum Island, is located in a 400-meter-long canal nestled between the River Spree and the Kupfergraben. It houses many of the city's oldest sites, like the Altes Museum, which was constructed in 1830 to store the Crown Jewels and artifacts.
Berlin Palace
The Berlin Palace, formally the Royal Palace on Museum Island in Berlin's Mitte district, was the House of Hohenzollern's primary residence from 1443 until 1918. It is regarded as a significant illustration of Prussian Baroque architecture and is one of Berlin's largest structures with a dome that stands 60 meters tall.
Gendarmenmarkt
This lovely plaza from the 17th century is the site of various annual public events, like classical concerts in summer and Christmas markets in winter. Three historic landmark structures, the Konzerthaus, the French Cathedral, and the German Cathedral, dominate the Gendarmenmarkt, one of Berlin's major squares.
Unter der Linden
The most well-known boulevard in Berlin, Unter den Linden, is another favored tourist destination in Reichstag. It is named after the linden or lime trees that flank the grassed pedestrian mall on the median and the two wide carriageways. The avenue connects many tourist attractions, landmarks, and waterways in Berlin, making it a perfect spot for visitors to hang out.
Memorial Church
Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial Church, one of Berlin's most intriguing sites, is actually a combination of two churches: the sleek new church built in 1961 and the ruins of the ancient church next to it, including the bulk of its 63-meter-high tower. The original was destroyed in 1943, but its remnants were integrated into the rebuilt complex to preserve the ancient history that they stand for.
Checkpoint Charlie Museum
The Checkpoint Charlie Museum lies on the Friedrichstraße, a famous shopping street in Berlin. This checkpoint once served as a crossing point between East and West Berlin. It houses a wide variety of exhibits and artifacts tracing the history of human rights, along with ones that focus specifically on the history of Checkpoint Charlie and the Berlin Wall.

Die geführte Tour durch das Regierungsviertel war sehr interessant, v. a. weil unser Guide uns nicht bloß allgemein informiert hat sondern Zusätzliches, nicht allgemein Bekanntes, dazu beitragen konnte. Das machte die Tour sehr aufschlussreich. Mein 15jähriger Sohn war ebenfalls begeistert. Leider konnten wir nicht die normale Strecke laufen, weil jemand einen Kinderwagen in der Gruppe dabei hatte und Treppen vermieden werden mussten. Das hätte vorher klar sein müssen, wie ich finde, aber es ist nur eine Kleinigkeit. Ich würde diese Tour definitiv weiterempfehlen.
