Excellent panoramic view of Hamburg city! Our guide from Australia, Phil, is a very gentle and professional person who told us many details about the city. It was perfect! Thank you Phil!

Great fun! I love Ebikes!

Beth_K, Oct 2025
It was great, however my fault that I did not check to see the language the guide spoke but it was still great!

Fast paced

Tina_R, Oct 2025
This was a very fast paced tour and if not a seasoned rider maybe not for you. I did have a fall but the guide was not even aware as they were so far infront. Not much options for photos.

Ilka took us on a nice, educational and beautiful tour of fantastic Hamburg. Good tips for our continued experiences in the city. A big city should be seen from a bike

Bike ride in the city

Barbara_B, Jul 2025
Friendly and knowledgeable guide. wonderful city. covered a wide variety of city locations. E-bike was super fun yet not needed.

Fun way to see parts of the city in a few hours.

Vivien_S, Sep 2024
The tour guide, Ingo, had a great love for his city of Hamburg. He was funny and had great recommendations for places to eat, drink and watch Hamburg life go by. I would have liked some of Hamburg's history as an introduction and some background of Hamburg. The location of the rental place was easy to find and convenient to get to.

Explore in a new way the city of Hamburg by an e-bike

Marcel_S, Sep 2024
We received an exceptionally charming welcome from Manuela. The tour was excellently selected and tailored to our individual wishes. The information was given in a competent and extremely exciting way. The e-bikes were as new and in perfect condition. I would recommend this tour to everyone who is not sitting on a bike for the first time and wants to experience Hamburg in a very personal and authentic way.

Response from Host, Sep 2024

Hey Marcel, thanks a lot for the great review. Great to hear that you loved the tour with Manuela and that you were fully satisfied with the quality of the e-bikes. We give our best to keep everything in shape here. Thanks a lot! Lars

Louise_E, Aug 2024
Ilke was an excellent guide - really funny and interesting. She did a really good job of keeping the group together despite traffic lights and other traffic hindrances. The tour was a good length with a great mix of history, culture and anecdotes. Thanks Ilke!

Response from Host, Aug 2024

Hey Louise, thank you for your nice review. We are happy to read that you had a great guided bike tour and felt well entertained and secure along the route.

Fantastic way to see Hamburg

Lisa_C, Aug 2024
What a fantastic way to see the sights of Hamburg, I loved this tour. Everyone on the tour was so friendly and our guide Gerritt was brilliant. Highly recommend!!

Three well spent hours in Hamburg

SCOTT_P, Aug 2024
The bike tour is an excellent way to see a snap shot of life in Hamburg socially, historically and geographically. I would recommend it for both the short term visitor and as a way to inform where to go and what to do during longer stays.

The perfect 3 1/2 hour introduction to Hamburg!

Karel_T, Aug 2024
Dennis did a great job in taking us around and with great enthusiasm shared his comprehensive knowledge on Hamburg at an easy pace. Thanx, great memories.

Fun bike tour that covers all the major sites in the Hamburg city center

Michael_M, Aug 2024
Our guide was very knowledgeable of Hamburg's history and current culture. I learned a lot in a short amount of time and, since it's by bike, we were able to cover all the major areas of the city center

A standout favorite

Anne_S, Aug 2024
Philip made this tour exceptional. He was welcoming, inclusive, and fun. His stories and photos were engaging. I enjoyed Hamburg, the tour was a great length, and the balance of history, current events, architecture, art, etc was great.

Family trip to Hamburg

Sara_C, Jul 2024
Great experience in Hamburg!! Our guide was Phil and he was awesome! We were able to see so much, and in a nice relaxing way on a bike. It was nice and cool, and we saw things we would have never seen by foot. Even things I didn’t know about! Phil was knowledgeable and provided us with a lot of good information! Would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Hamburg.

Highly Recommend

Joanna_C, Jul 2024

James_C, Jul 2024
Alex was a great tour guide, even more impressive given the size of the group. The tour flew by and really gave a feel for the history as well as love locals have for the city. Have very good recommendations for seafood too!

Response from Host, Jul 2024

Hey James, great! When times passes quickly that's a good sign. We are glad that you enjoyed the time on the guided bike tour. All the best! Lars

An excellent tour!

RodR, Jun 2024
This was a great way to explore Hamburg and see all the key locations. Our first impressions of this city were a little underwhelming but after the tour we realised it has a lot to offer. Phil was an excellent tour guide and the service from the team was overall outstanding! We would strongly recommend this tour!

Response from Host, Jun 2024

Dear RadR, thank you for the nice review. We are glad that you enjoyed the tour with Phil and the service of the rest of the team. Thanks! Lars

wet but super

Doris_G, Jun 2024
It was raining mad! That took away some enjoyment, but the tour guide did his best, the bikes were ready when we arrived. All around the tour was super organized! I hope we can do the tour some time again by good wether!!!

Response from Host, Jun 2024

Hey Doris, sorry for the rain but this makes the 5 stars even more valuable. Having a super tour despite the weather makes us super happy....but it also needs the right people to join it. Thanks you Lars

Highly recommended

Samantha_D, May 2024
A very enjoyable afternoon cycling around Hamburg. Our guide was very friendly, humorous and knowledgeable. The bike was a comfortable upright city bike, and there were plenty of helmets available in various sizes. We had to take shelter for about 20 mins in the middle of the tour, due to a thunderstorm with lightning., after which the sun came out again. But I am told this is all part of the Hamburg experience. 😀 I would recommend taking a light rain jacket and, if you suffer from allergies or asthma, your usual medications. The tree pollen was quite strong around Planten un Blomen, and also in the Portugese quarter after the rain.

Nice tour; group too big

Peggy_T, May 2024
The bike tour was really fun. The ride in the elevator in the old tunnel under the harbor was amazing! I liked going over bridges and through parks. The tour guide, Alexander was great. My only complaint was that the group was definitely too big at 17. Several were left behind at every ight and we had to wait and wait for everyone to be together. There should only be about 8-10 at the most.

Amazing tour

Ben_V, May 2024
Amazing tour of both the historical sights and the modern places where locals meet. Alex was very knowledgeable and spoke good english. Would recommend to anyone who likes cycling

Hamburg by bike

Deb_R, Oct 2023
Victor was an amazing guide. His knowledge and humor were captivating. I highly recommend this bike tour.

Happy cycling in Hamburg

Anthony_Z, Oct 2023
We arrived 10 minutes late so had to play catch up to the rest of the group. Victor was an enthusiastic guide who took us to many favorite places in Hamburg. Well worth the booking fee.
