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.

We liked that the booking of the ticket and the team on site was very nice and helpful! We did NOT like the fact that there were a lot of school classes there at the time! Therefore only the okay! This could possibly have been coordinated differently....because some of the pupils were totally bored and blocked the information boards on the windows, which was so annoying! But otherwise .... a great experience! Thank you very much! With kind regards Corina Friedt

The view was great, simply impressive. Unfortunately, the tickets can only be accessed in the app and are not sent by email. So I had to download the app, which didn't work on the train. But I managed to do it in the TV tower. The restaurant was closed, it was being renovated. The drinks stand had hefty prices.

Lovely river boat tour. Boat was clean and well maintained. The tour was informative. We were only on a day trip to the city, and it was a great way to see some of the sights along the Spree in the time frame we had.
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.

We saw many sights on this 1-hour boat trip. However, the tone of the announcements could have been louder. Sometimes we didn't understand much.
View original review in German
The combination package is ideal for a beautiful and varied day in Berlin. You can experience much more. Depending on how long your stay is. By booking online, many questions can be answered and waiting times can be reduced. The tower and the boat trip are highly recommended. The staff were all very nice. I can only recommend :)

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.

The deliberate use of buses and suburban trains (for sightseeing above ground) was very good for our requirements and needs. Clean buses, problem-free suburban trains, punctuality and no unpleasant incidents made the trips a good experience.

It makes traveling in Berlin very easy, you don't have to look anywhere you can go without looking for pay machines to buy tickets, really ideal!
View original review in Dutch
Ordered tickets online for 4 people and easy to save on smartphone with the qr code, printed on paper just to be sure. In Berlin itself did a lot with public transport and got discounts in various stores and museums. definitely worth its money for 5 days of Berlin!
View original review in Dutch
The Berlin Welcome Card gives you access to all public transportation in Berlin. You also get discounts in many museums and restaurants.
View original review in Dutch
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).
View original review in Dutch
Great that we could use this card for unlimited travel in U bahn and S bahn and bus. Also got discounts at museums. Only never had to check in or out anywhere on the metro, but never had a check either. We could have ridden black all week, but we are not like that.
View original review in Dutch
We really liked the opportunity to save money in this expensive city. However, we didn't like the fact that we couldn't activate another Welcome Berlin Card for a third person after a few days. So we had to pay the full price.
View original review in German
The instructions were contradictory, they mentioned printout in A4 as well as valid dating the ticket. We did neither. Also, it was not clear which discounts that applied.
It's perfect for transport, with one small drawback: I took the Pass for 6 days. We should consider a 7-day pass. As far as discounts are concerned, it would be a good idea to develop partnerships (zoological parks in particular) and consider slightly larger discounts.
View original review in French
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.
View original review in German
It's very practical to take your mind off transport and its price, but the app is more complicated and doesn't indicate buses enough. Discounts are quite limited

A feeling of freedom to use public transport, without having to worry about prices and fare zones. Access to the French-language audio-guide to Charlottenburg Palace is very useful. Were French audio guides available for other tours? We don't know.

Public transport tickets were never checked. We didn't feel like the discount on tickets made a big difference and a lot of places don't have a discount
Good experience: just a little doubt, as I had booked on the internet, was there a need or not for a paper format? (I had the flash code on our mobiles...). In the documentation, there was also mention of a first activation on a terminal, but we couldn't find one...

We purchased Berlin welcome cards which allowed us to ride the metro without having to purchase tickets every day; very convenient! And we purchased tickets to visit Parliament/dome and the show "Falling In Love." For our first visit to Berlin, these were both enjoyable and worthwhile activities. Headout worked well for us!!
We had no check for the 5 days 8n Berlin, both in the subway and in the bus the tickets were not needed. So I paid a lot of money when ws was not necessary. We did not have time to see museums.

Easy and no hassle checking in and out like in the Netherlands. Metro is great. Quickly from A to B and criss-cross the city. In addition, discount at various museums.

We used all the public transport - S Bahn, U Bahn, Tram and the buses in Berlin so the Welcome Card was fantastic to have with us. We didn't have to worry about tickets. We also got discounts in the DDR museum, Berlin Cathedral and the Hop on hop off bus by having the Welcome card. Overall Berlin is a fantastic place to visit
The unlimited use of public transport for 72 hours was brilliant. And there were good discounts on entry to the museums and attractions that we visited. Highly recommended.
Easy travel from A to B without having to buy a ticket for each journey

Fernsehturm Berlin is one of the city’s most iconic landmarks, full of rich history and yes, it still functions as a broadcasting facility. Today, it stands as a symbol of a unified East and West Germany as one democratic country.
Fernsehturm Berlin was constructed between 1965 and 1969 by the German Democratic Republic government to facilitate television and radio broadcasting. It was also intended to demonstrate East Germany’s technological prowess during the Cold War era. Designed by architect Hermann Henselmann, the 368-metre-high structure is the tallest building in Germany and one of the tallest in the European Union!

As you step onto the platform, you’re greeted by magnificent 360º panoramic views of Berlin’s cityscape.

Inside Berlin TV TowerSituated about 207 metres above the ground, the Sphere Restaurant offers an elaborate menu, including dishes from local and continental cuisines. The ambience is a mix of retro and contemporary chic, perfectly complementing the spectacular view from the windows. The cherry on top? The restaurant is a revolving structure, rotating once every 30-60 minutes on its own axis!
