“Fabulous! We were lucky to share a canoe with Florian. It was just the right combination of education, physical work, and sightseeing. Florian is a wealth of knowledge and a great story-teller. There didn't seem to be any questions that Florian couldn't answer at a level that was appropriate for us. Transiting through the lock was a real treat! Another highlight was paddling beneath the Molecule Man. Canoe Berlin is a first-rate operation. Highest recommendation!”
