This tour was exceptional—Lucas guided us through centuries of history and sites around Hamburg city center in the two hours we spent together. We strongly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Hamburg. Having paid only a booking fee, we would also heartily recommend a hefty tip for the guide!

This tour was a great introduction to Hamburg. Lucas, our guide, was full of interesting information and very attentive and caring. I learnt so much and have already revisited some of the places.

Brent was amazing and tailored his tour to the small group, answering questions and letting us take time where we needed to for photos.

This to our opened by eyes to the lengthy, import and trade history of Hamburg! It was cool to learn about and see the buildings that survived WWII. Our guide even showed us how to determine if a building was older or newer.

Our guide, Lucas, was so knowledgeable about the history of Hamburg and gladly shared with us. We loved the city tour and later had a wonderful time at Chocoversum and the incredible Miniature Wunderland!
