“Art was fabulous but getting around was terrible, especially with a wheelchair that we were using. Waited in line for hour because all the restrooms were out of service. When we were finished in museum we could not find the way out, Elevator we needed was blocked off and we did not find out for some time until we found out it was blocked off to keep non accessible people from using it.

“Absolutely shocking experience. If you are thinking of going here with a pram, don't. We waited over 1 hour and didn't manage to see a single exhibit because the lifts were all either out of order or full of people capable of walking. There are hundreds of steps meaning travelling with a pram is out of the question. When I spoke to staff they were incredibley rude. Avoid with a pram/ children.”

“Enjoyable trip down the river in Berlin. Don't choose this river trip if you need to tick off all the main sights - this one goes east, but it's nice and relaxing, and a good way of seeing the East Side Gallery. For me it would have been more enjoyable if no-one was allowed to smoke on board, but we managed to find seats on the other side from most of the smokers.”
