Unfortunately not as good as expected

Quite interesting but not able to really appreciate the sites that included many I did not feel needed to be pointed out. Probably better in daylight although it did identify key sites that are worth visiting - it also only took just over 1 hour. Overall a little disappointing.

Operator response

Apologies that you felt disappointed though it's a little difficult to understand what the actual issues were. Please try our Hop On Hop Off Tours during the day for a more in depth view of Berlin sites.

Too poor in terms of sights

We really expected more of it... Reichstag, Brandenburg Gate, Gendarmenmarkt, Berlin Cathedral, Unter den Linden, Holocaust Memorial, all so beautifully lit and not driven past...

Operator response

Het spijt ons dat we niet aan uw verwachtingen hebben voldaan, maar als u de beschrijving van onze avondtour had bekeken, had u gezien dat de avondtour deze bezienswaardigheden niet passeert. Onze hop-on hop-off dagtours bieden ze allemaal.

Worth doing

We had a fantastic time on this bus ride. Our host, Simon and driver Mo were both great. The top was open, the weather was not great, the atmosphere was friendly and inviting. Worth doing 😎👍

Thank you so much for your lovely review for our Big Bus Berlin Evening tour and particularly for our guide Simon & our driver Mo!

Definitely recommend

Our tour guide was amazing! Although it rained for a bit they were able to pull the hood over the bus and we didn’t skip a beat or get wet. Highly recommend!

Exceeded my expectations

The bus tour was very good. I didn't expect that I could see all of these site with the bus. The tour guide also shared a lot of information with us. Thus was 75 minutes ride and it was full of stuff to see. I knew after the ride that there is even a bigger ride with 3-hour duration that includes a (I guess lunch) break in between. I wouldv'e definitely do the 3 hours.

Fantastic, thank you so much for your great review for our Big Bus Berlin Evening Tour!

This is a party/shopping scene tour don’t be fooled. That’s what it should be billed as !!

Disappointed not what it says it is ! Panoramic night tour was a bust. Historic sights ?? I’ve used Viator many times and 7 times this trip and always had great results. NOT this time! This tour was a bust in our opinion. First, 70% of the tour was German. Most people in the bus were English. Also you see only a few historic sights. And the brandenburgh gate you see for 3 seconds a mile away. This is a tour of party town and shopping areas. That’s 90% of the tour. Also it wasn’t 75 minutes it was about 60 minutes, and due to the heavy traffic the buss sits about 15-20 minutes of the tour. The tour does start off going by the Berlin Wall, but after that it’s no more than bar and store fronts with a few mixed on buildings that are hard to see at night. It’s not a “panoramic” tour. It’s a closed in street type tour and should be billed as “Bar and shopping tour with a few historical sights” but nothing dramatic or interesting from a historical perspective other than the wall and a quick view of the checkpoint Charlie area. No government buildings. No teal perspective of historic or government ( past and present t Berlin) my son and I took this tour to catch a night view of Berlin history. That’s not what you get. If you want to know where to party and shop near the Berlin Wall. This is your tour. Otherwise keep your money for something more historic and higher value. But hey it’s a bus tour. Dont think you’ll see a lot of history. You won’t. The throw in of the “brandenburgh gate “ is HYPE to get people like us that thought we would get a real view excited. I’ve never asked for my money back on a Viator tour but I will be tonight ! Sorry it just didn’t make it !

Operator response

Apologies for what made you write this review. The evening tour is meant to show a different side of Berlin and yes, it does focus on nightlife, the local food scene etc. - which is actually mentioned in the description.... You may have been better accommodated on our Hop On Hop Off Tour that operates during the day and covers all the important tourist sights.

Very interesting

This was included in our 48-hour explore tickets and we pre-booked for 6pm on our first day of using it. Being winter and snowing, it was obviously not open top but the heaters were on and the windows did not steam up and we got some great views of parts of Berlin we had not already seen. The commentary was excellent and he gave lots of information in a very informative and funny way which made it even better! Excellent tour!

Operator response

Thank you also for this - great that you enjoyed our Live Guided Evening Tour too and we got to show you different parts of Berlin at night!
