Elphi Plaza Tour: Unforgettable Views of Hamburg Harbour

Some things needs only eyes to see, this beautiful and tidy plaza was worth seeing and exciting to be in it... overly Exciting!!

Ist was a very nice and interesting walk with Ute. She was a very good guide and gave us a lot of informations about Elbphilharmonie. She had always a competent answer to all our questions.

Wonderful funfacts and very engaging guide. We would have loved to see the actual concerthalls, but understand the impossibily of the situation.

Too expensive for a 1 hour tour. Unfortunately nothing special that would justify the fee. We left a bit underwhelmed.

We have been visiting Hamburg to visit family since 1991 and this was probably the first time we have done a guided tour of any of the popular sights. This opera house/music hall was only completed in 2016 and makes very interesting viewing, particularly to those with an interest in acoustics. The architecture is fascinating without being awe-inspiring. An interesting comparison was made in the brochure to the Sydney Opera House, but acoustics aside, it "ain't no Sydney Opera House!" Nevertheless, the tour guide made for a really enjoyable experience and one that I'd recommend for anyone visiting this picturesque city

A fascinating building - and the story was told in an engaging and thorough manner by our guide Andre. Very lucky to be only 2 solo travellers with this guide so we got to hear all about this stunning building and have all our questions answered. Would highly recommend!

We booked the tour for a saturday 11 a.m. On friday 11 a.m. we got a e-mail, reminding us of the tour and time. Then on friday at 11 p.m. (!) we got a new e-mail, that the tour would be delayed for one hour and start not until 12 a.m. I think this to be poor treatment of customers. Now to the tour itself. First was a view from the outside, then going up to the plaza. The guide told us some facts about the building, then we went to walk around the outside. There he explained some other facts about the city and the harbour. All things considered I think the price of 19 € is too high for what you get.

Good German-language tour with a guide, Tobias, who was very knowledgeable and passionate but did speak a little quickly to follow everything. Good overview of the building, its history and design elements. It was a bit anti-climactic to not get to see the main attraction (the performance spaces) but this was noted in the upfront tour description so it wasn't a surprise.

I actually booked a tour of the Elbphilharmonie through TripAdvisor! The tour lasted one hour and I got to meet a very cool elderly couple who were also on vacation. The observation deck is 37 meters (121 feet) above the harbor, The guide was excellent and effortlessly switched back and forth from German to English. I would recommend the guided tour to get in all of the nuances of this magnificent building.

The guide tour was interesting, but it was too long. We wish we could have taken photos of the inside of the concert hall. It is definitely worth seeing and there is a nice view from the top. The entrance for the tour is not well marked or indicated. It is definitely worth a visit.
