It was fine, nothing special. Covered the basics. Fine. Was expecting to go closer to the Elbphilharmonie

Had an amazing walking tour in Hamburg with Leo. He was friendly, funny, and super knowledgeable, sharing stories that made the city feel alive without overwhelming us. The pace was comfortable, the route flowed naturally, and he kept everyone engaged the whole time. Leo handled questions with patience and gave practical tips that were actually useful. It felt well-organized yet relaxed, like exploring with a very informed friend. Highly recommend booking with Leo if you want something insightful, enjoyable, and easygoing. Perfect for first-time visitors or anyone who wants a deeper feel for the city without the usual tourist fluff.

Went on the tour run by Victor - would highly recommend! It was really interesting and informative, and I learnt a lot about Hamburg that I had no idea about before going. Thanks!

Naven was a great guide, very knowledgeable on history of Hamburg & humorous too. The walk isn't too far & pace is kept reasonable for everyone. Wrap up warm - it's cold by the water

Fantastic tour guide and fantastic tour. Hamburg was my second favourite city in Germany and this tour was great. Took us through the warehouse district and all the other amazing sights in Hamburg. Very well informed tour guide.

It was very informative regarding the history of Hamburg . We really enjoyed the tour with Nawaz. There had been a mix up with the start time - but it was worth waiting

A wonderful tour through historic Hamburg! Our guide, Lucas, guided us through with many entertaining stories and great background information. It was impressive learning about how this beautiful city has risen, like the Phoenix, from the ashes over the centuries. Would highly recommend!
