What are people saying about Hamburg

Kim_C, Sept 2026

Fantastic tour with Tim

We had an incredible tour around Hamburg with Tim. The city is beautiful but it was Tim that made the time special. He planned the tour to be about what we wanted to see through questions prior to the day of the tour and because he is a local, he had unique stories and information about so much of the city. His English is perfect so we could easily understand him. It was a great day and if you can get a tour with Tim, it is a must do in Hamburg!

I what a great experience. Our guide Amber was so warm and lovely, full of great background information and genuine interest in making our tour memorable. This tour takes you to a wide variety of locations and focuses on what is unique to Hamburg. The time goes quickly and you certainly end up with a full belly. We can’t recommend the tour enough and Amber as a perfect guide to have.

Most fun had when it comes to history

Kalvin is very well informed about the city in Hamburg. He does the tour with so much passion, in my opinion, he‘s made for this. If any English speaking person were to come to Hamburg and ask what they can do, I’ll definitely recommend this. History is not really my thing, but Kalvin made it very fun and educative. Well done Kalvin and keep up the great job…you’re doing it very good

Learned about Hamburg's history and had a lot of fun with tour guide Lina

We have visited multiple historic locations in Hamburg City center and Speicherstadt, learned about its history and laughed at jokes together with the amazing tour guide Lina. Time went so fast, that we were a little disappointed at the end that the 2 hours long tour was already over 😃 I would absolutely recommend the tour to everyone who enjoys visiting new cities and getting to know their history 😍

3 hour private tour of Hamburg

A fantastic tour of Hamburg with a very knowledgeable and friendly driver. We were picked up and dropped off right outside the terminal building and taken to places that we would never have found on our own. All very interesting. Much cheaper than getting the coach off of the ship. We were also given some tasters of local delicacies. Would highly recommend.

Judith knows Hamburg

Judith our guide understood what we wanted. We walked for five miles and saw all the sights we wanted to see. We got a good overview of Hamburg which is what we wanted. Nice pace, great chat, and no churches. Sadly, it was a Sunday and nothing was open. However we went by a lovely Sunday market and there was lots for sale.

Great vibes!

As a solo traveler I thought this would be a great way to meet new people and experience the nightlife of Hamburg and it was exactly that! Edwin the guide was absolutely awesome. Really nice energy, friendly, personable, truly a great guide. I’m glad this was my first night experience in Hamburg!

Hamburg Reeperbahn Tour with a Guide

David_B, July 2026

Don’t turn up with no cash

A hazy start as we were at the exact Viator pick up point pictured but no guide. But after a couple of messages we meet up to start our tour. The tour itself was both fun and informative, but please bring along sum cash. Our tour was about 10-12 people and when the guide said he needed 3 euros per person to enter one bar, 4 had no cash. We paid for one couple ( 6 ) euros, and to keep the group intact I suggested the others could chip in for the other couple but no one offered leaving a somewhat sour taste. This also meant they were never going to tip the guide, who I think his name was Gunter and he was really good. So please remember fellow tour companions bring money with you, you don’t require a lot

Don’t miss out on this tour!

We could have explored Hamburg on our own, but are very glad we didn’t. We would have missed so much! Evan was a terrific guide—very personable and informative. He gave us the perfect amount of information—neither too little nor too much. The pace of the tour was great. Highly recommended.

Hamburg Walking Tour With Deniz

Deniz was an outstanding guide and host. He met me at our hotel and took me on a walking tour that was perfectly planned. He treated me like a friend rather than a guest and he was very knowledgeable about Hamburg and it's history. I would recommend Deniz as a guide for anyone wanting to truly appreciate Hamburg. This was a great tour!
