Wonderful Walking tour of Hamburg

Natasha_J, Aug 2025

We had an excellent tour of Hamburg. Our guide Bob was very informative, knowledgeable and easy to communicate with. Walking through the streets and sites of Hamburg with Bob showed us is love of the city that he wishes to share with all visitors. Would highly recommend

Impressive & Memorable Hamburg Walking Tour

Hafen City & the ElbPhilharmonie were highlights - Bob spoke in detail & was quite informative. He is quite knowledgeable & gave me the rich history I would have otherwise not received. He is an impressive guide who certainly made an impact with his descriptions & explanations.

Excellent introduction to Hamburg

We had a great visit to Hamburg, we started out with Axel giving us the history and a really excellent overview of the city. Very cold conditions, so he took us to a traditional cafe to warm up part of the way through the tour but extended the time to ensure everything was covered. He also advised us of other things we could do in Hamburg.

Jason from Canada gave us a perfect...

Jason from Canada gave us a perfect introduction to Hamburg! We learned how the city was founded, and basically how it was destroyed several times. Really funny, with great information. One of the highlights of my trip to Germany!

3 Stunden Tour Hamburg

Michael_S, Oct 2022

War eine schöne Tour mit sehr viel geschichtlichen Hintergrund. Es war keine von diesen Schreihalstouren oder mit irgendwelchen Kopfhörern. Wir sind schön nebenhergelaufen und haben uns im engen Kreis die Geschichten anhören können. Wirklich empfehlenswert.

Gemütliche Atmosphäre in kleiner Gruppe

Tiffany_G, Jun 2022

Unser sympathischer Tourguide Bob hat die kleine Gruppe von 5 Personen super unterhalten und viel Interessantes zum historischen Hintergrund Hamburgs erzählt. Ganz klare Empfehlung :)

Schöner Überblick über die Geschichte Hamburgs

schachnerpeter, Jun 2022

Sehr lebendige Erzählung, tolle Führerin. Interessanter Einblick in die Geschichte Hamburgs. Empfehlenswert.

Tolles Familienevent

Christiane_F, Apr 2022

Bob hat das sehr gut gemacht. Gerne wieder mit ihm. Super interessant erzählt und er ist toll auf unsere Bedürfnisse (ein Rollstuhlfahrer dabei) eingegangen.
