At 10:00 AM, there were only a few visitors up on the observation deck, and we could enjoy the view in peace with the best weather! A very special experience that we won't forget anytime soon. Highly recommended!!

It was a very good overview of the highlights of Berlin. Unfortunately it rained and we couldn't ride with the roof open. And unfortunately I had some issues with the microphone. I can only recommend this bus tour.
