In the summer check out some of the great bars that open along the banks of the River Spree. They often out down sand and call themselves 'Strand Bar' - beach bars!
Always sign up for the group photo's while on ANY of the tours Contiki offers. When you get home you'll be glad that you did - it will be nice to have a professional photo of your whole group that you can hang up on the wall or put in a photo album.
I did this excursion on my tour and I loved it. I was really afraid of heights but if you stand in the middle of the basket and look over rather than looking down you'll be fine.
