    There was extensive live comentary in German and basic comentary recorded in English. It was hard to hear the recording over the live coments.

    Response from Host, May 2025

    Dear customers, Thank you very much for your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that you had difficulty hearing the English audio commentary due to the live German commentary on board. Unfortunately, when both are playing at the same time, it can sometimes be challenging to clearly hear the recorded version, and we sincerely regret if this affected your experience. We appreciate you bringing this to our attention and will forward your comment to our operations team to see how we can improve this aspect of the tour. Warm regards,

    Nice Intro to Hamburg

    Megan_P, Feb 2024
    Overall was a good tour. We were in Hamburg on a Sunday, so unfortunately most things were closed and only outdoor activities and some restaurants were available. The bus picked up in a central location, with a few open shops & restaurants nearby. The Hop On and Hop Off spots were in good spots. The bus was comfortable and easy to spot. The headphones were provided so we could hear the tour in English, but sometimes the German speaker would be so loud that you could not hear the English translation. Went through interesting areas and was a nice introduction to the city. Would do again.

    Bus was amazing.. gave us headphones for English then the guide got on microphone and spoke so loud couldn’t hear headphones.. hard if you don’t understand German

    Response from Host, Feb 2023

    Dear Guests, Thank you for taking the time to give us a wonderful review like yours. We are pleased to hear that you enjoyed our tour. We are sorry for the volume issue. We will advise our tour guides to moderate the microphone volume. Best regards,

    The bus never came aroun...

    Deborah_T, Jul 2022
    The bus never came aroun almost one hour. We were allowed to get on the same company bus, just a different line. However, the language was in German (by the driver and guide) and pretty much it was a tour not a hop on hop off (as paid for) so once on we were on for the 2 hours.

    Standard city bus tour,...

    Clifford_L, Oct 2021
    Standard city bus tour, with recorded English tour guide. The operator was very friendly and gave tourist advice while waiting for the bus to arrive.

    Never order online, as ticket sales take place,although no bus runs anymore!!!!Hop on/off red bus then kindly took us.....thanks a lot for that. 66€ paid via PayPal, was retained despite email and complaint. If you only let buses run until 4 pm, then why do you still sell tickets for the same day at 3.30 pm without pointing it out???? If the tour lasts 1 1/2 hours, the last ticket sale would have to end at the latest 2.30 pm!!!!

    Gutes Angebot

    Michael_B, Jun 2023
    Leider war die Frequenz der Busse deutlich länger als bei anderen Angeboten. Außerdem würde ein übergreifendes Hop on Hop off System mehr Sinn machen

    Tolle Tour, kann man nur...

    Florian_D, Dec 2022
    Tolle Tour, kann man nur empfehlen! Einziger Makel: Tickets müssen gedruckt werden, im Urlaub unterwegs sehr schwierig

    Hamburg erleben per Doppelbus, die besondere Art

    Emil_v, Oct 2021
    Auf der Tour am 06.10.2021, Abfahrt 11.35Uhr Landungsbrücken 4 war ein sehr guter Reiseleiter, der mit kleinen aufheiternden Legenden, gut über Hamburg zu berichten wusste. Mein 13jähriger sehr interessierter Enkelsohn, der von Eiderstedt hier zu Besuch war, und ich haben die Tour gleich zweimal gemacht. Ich möchte diese zusätzliche Art Hamburg kennenzulernen, unbedingt weitergeben. Herzliche Grüße, MvdH

    In Ordnung, aber kein Hit

    Julia_B, Sep 2021
    Für meinen Geschmack zu wenig historisches, ansonsten aber okay. Ein bisschen teuer für 1,5 Stunden im Vergleich zu anderen Stadtrundfahrten.

    Response from Host, Sep 2021

    Sehr geehrte Gäste, vielen Dank dass Sie sich die Zeit genommen haben uns eine Bewertung zu geben. Bezüglich des Fahrpreises sind alle Preise der Stadtrundfahrt in Hamburg reglementiert und für alle Unternehmen gleich. Mit freundlichen Grüße,
