Tickets are valid for either 24 or 48 hours.

Traditional Tour

The 13-stop tour takes you to all the sights you might find on a postcard of Berlin. From Kurfürstendamm along the Tiergarten and into the center of the city, you’ll get the chance to hop off at Potsdamer Platz, Checkpoint Charlie, the Gendarmenmarkt, Alexanderplatz, the Museum Island, the Brandenburger Tor, and the Hauptbahnhof. Buses depart every 15 minutes from 9.15 am to 4 pm and the full loop takes about two hours.

Wall & Lifestyle Tour

This 11-stop tour will help you to explore former East Berlin and will teach you about the lives and lifestyles of those living in the DDR. Stops include the Rotes Rathaus, the Hauptbahnhof, the Berlin Wall Memorial, the Mauerpark, Alexanderplatz, the East Side Gallery, and the Ostbahnhof. Buses run every half an hour from 10 am to 4 pm and the full loop takes about two hours to complete.

Boat Tour

If you’ve chosen the 24 or 48-hour bus and boat combo ticket, then you’ll be able to enjoy an hour-long cruise along the Spree. Boats are operated by Reederei Riedel and depart every 30 minutes.
