Good start to sightseeing in Berlin
This is a good way to start sightseeing at the beginning of your holiday. There is two tours, the A - Tour which travels around a lot of the Central Berlin sites such as Unter den Linten and the Reichstag and the B - Tour which travels around what was East Berlin. The A - Tour is about 2 hours long and the B - Tour is roughly one hour long. The ticket is valid for 24 hours after purchase so you can do the B - Tour the following day if you want. Would definitely recommend this to see a lot of the sights and to get a feel for the city.

Enjoyable Tour
The Tour past all the usual touristy stops & so did we. The stops were all marked well with guides at each stop. Would recommend this tour to anyone travelling in Berlin, just wished we had more time in Berlin.
Response from the operator: Dear Alan, Thank you very much for your fantastic feedback about your City Sightseeing Berlin experience. We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed discovering Berlin’s main tourist attractions and that you found the stops clearly marked and the guides available at each location helpful. It is wonderful to know that you would recommend our Berlin Hop-On Hop-Off tour to other travellers. We only wish you had had more time to explore this fascinating city! We hope to welcome you back to Berlin in the future, with plenty of time to discover even more of its iconic landmarks and history. Thank you for choosing City Sightseeing!

Don’t bother
Don’t go with this company in Berlin, the big bus tour is everywhere and city circle one too but this company must have one bus doing the very very long route as we did not see it at all. Waited at one stop day 1 for over an hour then gave up and day 2 did the same and decided to just get the underground to not waste anymore time on our holiday! Shame as used in many countries and never had a problem. No signs on any of the bus stops either. No agents anywhere! Very poor in this country .. go with a different company or get the underground as easy enough.
Response from the operator: Dear Pauline, Thank you for sharing your detailed feedback. We are very sorry to hear that your City Sightseeing Berlin experience fell far short of your expectations, especially as you have previously used our service in other countries without experiencing any issues. We sincerely regret the long waiting times you experienced on both days and understand how frustrating it must have been to lose valuable holiday time. We also appreciate your comments regarding the bus stop signage and the lack of visible staff, as clear information and assistance are essential when using a Hop-On Hop-Off sightseeing service. Your feedback is very important to us, and we will share these concerns with our local Berlin team so they can be reviewed and addressed. We are disappointed that we were unable to provide you with the reliable and enjoyable City Sightseeing experience you have come to expect from us elsewhere. We hope that, despite this experience, you will consider giving City Sightseeing another opportunity on a future visit.

Fab way to get around and see all the top attractions in Berlin
A great way of getting around Berlin to see the main attractions. The buses run throughout the day and you can check on the app your location, how close you are to the nearest stop and how long the next bus will be. Pick up a set of headphones and a routemap as you get on. Commentary is available in lots of different languages, french, english, spanish etc. 24/48hour tickets available and some you can add a river tour or tv tower tickets, can be bought in advance online or on the day from the city tour staff/reps which are easily recognisable with red uniform and flag with logo.
Response from the operator: Dear Michelle, Thank you for the kind review. We’re happy to hear you enjoyed using the buses to explore Berlin and found the app helpful for planning your journey. It’s also great to know you liked the choice of languages and ticket options. We hope you enjoyed discovering the city and visit us again! Kind regards

Why this scores 54
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
City Sightseeing Berlin Hop-On Hop-Off Bus Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Berlin.
How much does City Sightseeing Berlin Hop-On Hop-Off Bus Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $29 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Berlin usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does City Sightseeing Berlin Hop-On Hop-Off Bus Tour take?
+
Plan for about 1 hour from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Berlin is not rushed.
Is City Sightseeing Berlin Hop-On Hop-Off Bus Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 54 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3/5 across 1,029 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Berlin, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule City Sightseeing Berlin Hop-On Hop-Off Bus Tour?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is City Sightseeing Berlin Hop-On Hop-Off Bus Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book City Sightseeing Berlin Hop-On Hop-Off Bus Tour?
+
Around 360 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Berlin can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Berlin and add a light layer if any part of the 1-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does City Sightseeing Berlin Hop-On Hop-Off Bus Tour start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Berlin within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Berlin?
+
On Outty we rank every Berlin experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Berlin's Best: 2 Hour Walking Tour Third Reich and the Cold War, Communist East Berlin and Berlin Wall Small Group Walking Tour, Sachsenhausen concentration camp.. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Berlin?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Berlin?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
