Berlin Spree River Tour with Reederei Hadynski (or other suggestions?)

I had decided on a tour with Reederei Hadynski due to several good reviews and low price. However, I cannot figure out how to buy tickets and they are no responding via Facebook messenger.

So maybe someone has a suggestion for a basic river tour with English commentary - 1 to 2 hours. Nothing fancy. At the least, I just want to experience the views from the river.

For cost, I was hoping for something around $10 - $20 each?

Thank you!

UPDATE: They don't do reservations... So if you have a tour that takes reservations that you suggest, let me know.

Hi,

Not really pertaining exactly to your trip in the Spreewald area, I went there once without a guided tour. That was in 1999.

Hopefully, your tour includes visiting the town of Lübbenau. I found that town interesting, historically and politically, since political posters of recent elections could still be seen. After twenty plus years I am sure the town is far more interesting, it certainly was back then.

Hi,

On your other question pertaining to "a basic river tour with English commentary." I assume you want to be a rustic setting with its serene and tranquil atmosphere. I would suggest the boat tour on the Havel in Potsdam.

This can be arranged at the Tourist Office located on the top floor of Potsdam Hbf (central train station) . A large wall map shows the places of rustic Brandenburg in the greater area of Potsdam. Every time I am in Potsdam, obviously going there from Berlin on the regional train, I check out the Tourist Office.

The Havel River tours are conducted in German and English . Obviously, I have heard the TO staff speaking English to visitors. Potsdam is more than merely Sansoucci. Numerous other chateaux and salient sites are worthy of your time and exploration.

Taking the Havel River tour will be an eye-opener.
